Forced migration affect the health and wellbeing of millions of women. The aim was to explore experiences of trauma-informed care among women who are forced migrants.
This was an exploratory qualitative study. Eleven women who had concluded treatment at multidisciplinary trauma centers in Sweden were interviewed, recruited through consecutive sampling. Audio-recorded interviews were transcribed and analyzed with systematic text condensation.
Women dealt with mental and physical manifestations in a challenging psychosocial situation. Various structural and individual barriers were addressed that hindered access to adequate health services. Women appreciated various benefits of the treatment and recalled the care as supportive and compassionate. However, undergoing treatment was considered demanding, requiring significant determination and energy. Participants suggested that peer support could enhance the support.
Migrant women experience a range of health-related burdens and encounter barriers to trauma-informed care. While demanding, treatment has the potential to alleviate symptoms. Health professionals and stakeholders providing trauma-informed care need to ensure that their services are accessible and culturally sensitive towards the unique needs of women. Peer support has the potential to enhance support further, which need further evaluation.
被迫迁移影响着数百万女性的健康和福祉。本研究旨在探索被迫移民女性的创伤知情护理体验。
这是一项探索性定性研究。通过连续抽样，对在瑞典多学科创伤中心完成治疗的11名女性进行了访谈。对录音访谈进行转录，并采用系统文本浓缩法进行分析。
女性在具有挑战性的社会心理环境中应对心理和身体症状。研究探讨了阻碍获得充分医疗服务的各种结构和个人障碍。女性赞赏治疗带来的各种益处，并回忆起护理过程充满支持和同情。然而，她们认为接受治疗要求很高，需要极大的决心和精力。参与者建议同伴支持可以加强这种支持。
移民女性经历了一系列与健康相关的负担，并在创伤知情护理方面遇到障碍。虽然治疗要求很高，但有可能缓解症状。提供创伤知情护理的卫生专业人员和利益相关者需要确保其服务易于获得，并对女性的独特需求具有文化敏感性。同伴支持有可能进一步加强支持，这需要进一步评估。
