For newly arrived migrants, integration is important in promoting health and decreasing health inequities. In a Swedish context, civic orientation is a program to promote integration and increase the chance of employment for newly arrived migrants. The aim of this project was to explore how civic communicators view and approach health promotion in their work with newly arrived migrants in the civic orientation program in Sweden. Data were collected through interviews with eight civic communicators working with newly arrived migrants in civic orientation in the north of Sweden. The interviews followed a semi-structured interview guide and were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using thematic analysis. The analysis resulted in the main theme "To dress the participants for a (healthy) life in Sweden," with two sub-themes "Knowledge-a key to health" and "Being a guide for participants in a new context." In their work with civic orientation for newly arrived migrants, civic communicators are involved in health promotion by preparing their participants for a life in Sweden. They work to empower their participants to be able to make informed decisions and live healthy lives by both providing information to enhance knowledge and skills. They also work to guide them through the complexity of being in a new situation and country.
对于新移民来说，融入社会对于促进健康和减少健康不平等至关重要。在瑞典的背景下，公民教育是一项促进融合和增加新移民就业机会的计划。本项目旨在探讨公民教育者如何看待和处理他们在瑞典公民教育计划中与新移民一起开展的健康促进工作。通过对在瑞典北部从事公民教育的 8 名新移民公民教育者的访谈收集了数据。访谈遵循半结构化访谈指南，逐字转录并进行主题分析。分析结果得出了主要主题“为（健康）的瑞典生活着装参与者”，两个副标题是“知识是健康的关键”和“在新环境中为参与者提供指导”。在为新移民开展公民教育工作时，公民教育者通过为参与者在瑞典的生活做准备来参与健康促进。他们通过提供信息来增强知识和技能，努力使参与者有能力做出明智的决定并过上健康的生活，从而赋予他们权力。他们还努力通过引导他们度过新环境和国家的复杂性来指导他们。
