摘要

Background

Ensuring adequate and equitable health care is a major societal challenge. In Austria, community nursing (CN) is implemented to identify unmet health-related needs within the population. People with migration biographies, possibly with increased prevention needs, are defined as one of the target groups and are the focus here. This study aims to analyze which specific characteristics and contexts of the target group must be considered in the development and implementation of CN services.

Methods

Seven problem-centered interviews were conducted with gatekeepers and migrants. These were then analyzed by a qualitative content analysis according to Mayring. The results highlight the heterogeneity of the migrant population and that structural and individual barriers limit access to preventive measures. Traumatization, (emotionally) exceptional situations, and acculturation processes influence health status and behavior, as do divergent health perceptions and age.

Conclusion

Socioculturally sensitive prevention measures geared toward the target group should be developed with participation of the target group and under consideration of their diverse resources. Sensitization is necessary in the health sector to strengthen the intercultural competencies of community nurses in particular.
