  • Migrant women's perspectives on reproductive health issues and their healthcare encounters
    Prosen, Mirko ...
    Migration exposes women to greater health risks and health disparities. Healthcare professionals need to identify, prioritise and address these needs and risks in a holistic manner. The chapter ... explores migrant women's experiences with the health system and specifically their perspectives on reproductive health issues within the host country's healthcare system. A descriptive qualitative study using a qualitative content analysis approach was conducted in a maternity hospital in Slovenia. The purposive sample included 10 migrant women. The analysis yielded two themes: (1) experiences, expectations and barriers of a different healthcare system; and (2) the impact of culturebased beliefs on women's reproductive health. The majority of the interviewed women felt they had received culturally responsive care, even though the language barrier was seen as one of the biggest obstacles in accessing healthcare. From the perspective of sexual and reproductive health, their migration was liberating for the women. Healthcare professionals need to learn more about cultural-based health practices since some of them are harmful to women and require their attention in the future.
