The objective of the study was to identify the main challenges in conducting research with immigrants and refugees and to provide seven methodological and pragmatic strategies. The analyses presented, based on the Theory of Culture Care Diversity and Universality, are extracted from insights of the authors' experiences as researchers and the literature. The main challenges are related to cultural, moral, political, and educational differences between researcher and researched; identification of the universe and sampling; access to informants through the barrier of distrust; and communication and language difficulties. Strategies to make research more successful involve: developing a thorough research protocol; creatively recruiting participants; developing strategies to facilitate communication; having a sensitive look; offering a structure of reciprocity; increasing trust, and triangulating research. The main methodological and pragmatic issues in studies with immigrants and refugees were explored, providing valuable guidance for future projects. However, in different migration situations, researchers must be aware of the possibility of other challenges arising during the investigative process.
本研究旨在确定与移民和难民进行研究的主要挑战，并提供七种方法学和实用策略。基于文化关怀多样性和普遍性理论的分析，是从作者作为研究人员的经验和文献中得出的见解中提取的。主要挑战涉及研究人员与研究对象之间的文化、道德、政治和教育差异；宇宙和抽样的识别；通过不信任的障碍获得信息提供者的机会；以及沟通和语言困难。使研究更加成功的策略包括：制定全面的研究方案；创造性地招募参与者；制定促进沟通的策略；具有敏锐的眼光；提供互惠结构；增加信任，并进行三角研究。本研究探讨了移民和难民研究中的主要方法学和实用问题，为未来的项目提供了有价值的指导。然而，在不同的移民情况下，研究人员必须意识到在调查过程中可能会出现其他挑战。
