Based on findings from previous qualitative studies comparing migrants and Swedish-born persons with diabetes mellitus type 2, it was hypothesized that dissimilarities exist in beliefs about health, including factors of importance for health between groups.
A survey in a diabetes clinic in a migrant-dense area in Sweden.
Migrants generally perceived their health as poorer than Swedes, although it was not significantly different. Health mainly meant feeling well, being alert, and healthy and learning to live with disease despite of person's origin. Studying factors of importance for health, migrants perceived knowledge about the body and treatment to influence health to a lower extent ( 0.009) and use of nature cure remedies to a higher extent ( 0.029) than Swedish-born persons.
The findings partly supported the hypothesis that dissimilarities in factors of importance for health exist between migrants and Swedish-born persons, and need to be assessed.
基于先前比较移民和瑞典出生的 2 型糖尿病患者的定性研究结果，我们假设在健康信念方面存在差异，包括群体之间对健康重要性的因素。
在瑞典一个移民密集地区的糖尿病诊所进行的一项调查。
移民普遍认为自己的健康状况不如瑞典人，尽管差异并不显著。健康主要意味着感觉良好、机敏、健康，以及学会带病生活，无论其出身如何。在研究对健康重要性的因素时，移民认为对身体和治疗的了解对健康的影响程度较低（0.009），而对自然疗法的使用程度较高（0.029）。
这些发现部分支持了这样一种假设，即在对健康重要性的因素方面，移民和瑞典出生的人之间存在差异，需要进行评估。
