During the COVID-19 pandemic, migrants living in Norway navigated a complex "infodemic", which encompassed diverse health information sources from health authorities and media from both local and their home country. This study aimed to explore the experiences of Indian migrants in Norway related to their encounters with varied, and sometimes inaccurate and conflicting information between India and Norway amidst COVID-19 pandemic. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 12 Indian migrants and data was analyzed using thematic analysis. The analysis yielded five main themes: (1) Transnational sources of information, (2) Drivers for trusting information, (3) Transnational healthcare-seeking behavior, (4) Influences underlying decision-making, and (5) Emotional impact of conflicting information. Our findings highlight the complexities of information consumption and its effects on the cognitive-emotional processes of migrants, discussing the role of factors such as familiarity, emotional ties, and trust. Further, the study identified the need for culturally sensitive health communication interventions, the establishment of trust with migrant communities through accurate information dissemination, and the requirement of strategies to support the emotional well-being of migrants in situations when health information varies quickly and differ geographically. The implications of this research extend to the development of effective public health strategies for migrant communities during global health crises.
在新冠疫情期间,居住在挪威的移民应对了一场复杂的“信息疫情”,其中包含来自挪威当地卫生当局和媒体以及他们祖国的各种健康信息来源。本研究旨在探讨新冠疫情期间在挪威的印度移民在面对印度和挪威之间各种不同、有时不准确且相互矛盾的信息时的经历。对12名印度移民进行了定性访谈,并使用主题分析法对数据进行了分析。分析得出了五个主要主题:(1)跨国信息来源,(2)信任信息的驱动因素,(3)跨国就医行为,(4)决策背后的影响因素,以及(5)相互矛盾的信息所带来的情感影响。我们的研究结果凸显了信息消费的复杂性及其对移民认知 - 情感过程的影响,探讨了诸如熟悉度、情感纽带和信任等因素的作用。此外,该研究确定了对具有文化敏感性的健康传播干预措施的需求,通过准确传播信息与移民社区建立信任,以及在健康信息迅速变化且存在地域差异的情况下支持移民心理健康的策略的必要性。这项研究的意义延伸至全球卫生危机期间为移民社区制定有效的公共卫生策略。
