Migration And Health

There are more types of borders today than ever before in history. Borders of all kinds define every aspect of social life in the twenty-first century. From the biometric data that divides the smallest aspects of our bodies to the aerial drones that patrol the immense expanse of our domestic and international airspace, we are defined by borders. They can no longer simply be understood as the geographical divisions between nation-states. Today, their form and function has become too complex, too hybrid. What we need now is a theory of the border that can make sense of this hybridity across multiple domains of social life.

Rather than viewing borders as the result or outcome of pre-established social entities like states, Thomas Nail reinterprets social history from the perspective of the continual and constitutive movement of the borders that organize and divide society in the first place. Societies and states are the products of bordering, Nail argues, not the other way around. Applying his original movement-oriented theoretical framework "kinopolitics" to several major historical border regimes (fences, walls, cells, and checkpoints), Theory of the Border pioneers a new methodology of "critical limology," that provides fresh tools for the analysis of contemporary border politics.

Research has long focused on the notion of access and the trajectory towards a healthcare encounter but has neglected what happens to patients after these initial encounters. This paper focuses attention on what happens after an initial healthcare encounter leading to a more nuanced understanding of how patients from a diverse range of backgrounds make sense of medical advice, how they mix this knowledge with other forms of information and how they make decisions about what to do next.

Design/methodology/approach-Drawing on 160 in-depth interviews across four European countries the paper problematizes the notion of access; expands the definition of ''decision partners''; and reframes the medical encounter as a journey, where one encounter leads to and informs the next.

Findings-This approach reveals the significant unseen, unrecognised and unacknowledged work that patients undertake to solve their health concerns.

Originality/value-De-centring the professional from the healthcare encounter allows us to understand why patients take particular pathways to care and how resources might be more appropriately leveraged to support both patients and professionals along this journey.

Current panic about ‘the refugee crisis’ tends to overlook recent history. In 1992, as a result of violence in the Balkans, the EU also experienced a drastic rise in asylum applications, which it managed to deal with without political, cultural or financial collapse. The current influx via Greece has been building up since 2011, but only now are serious measures being taken to deal with it. Unfortunately, most of the solutions proposed are either purely rhetorical, unworkable, or illegal.
The popularity of Germany as a destination country is structural: it owes little to anything that Chancellor Merkel might have said in August 2015. It is asylum seekers themselves who choose their destination country, and international law prevents governments from denying them the right to claim asylum on arrival. In that sense, borders cannot be ‘sealed’ – though reaching borders can be, and is, systematically obstructed.
Numbers of asylum applications can be predicted with remarkable accuracy from the population size and wealth of a country. There seems to be a balance between the demand for asylum and a country’s capacity to provide it. Analysis can reveal which countries are receiving fewer or more asylum seekers than would be expected from their population size and wealth.
Concerns about health relate not only to asylum seekers, but also to the large number of undocumented migrants that will result from the rejection of many asylum claims. The MIPEX results show that as long as its present exclusionist policies are in force, Germany cannot hope to deal adequately with the health needs of all these newcomers. The same applies in most EU countries to undocumented migrants.

Movement from villages to cities is a crucial issue for Bangladesh. It influences both urban and rural socioeconomic conditions. This paper basically focuses the influences of movement from different rural areas to Rayerbazar area in Dhaka. The questionnaire survey is used to find out the required results. Researchers divide the reasons of ruralurban (RU) migration into four categories as; economic, social, political and personal. This paper shows economic impact and social impact of rural-urban migration. Structural Equation Model (SEM) shows that RU migration due to social, and economic reasons has positive economic impact but RU migration due to political and personal reasons has negative economic impact. RU migration for social and economic reasons have negative social impact but political and personal reasons have positive social impact. Internal movement is one of the biggest problems for Dhaka city which could be reduced by ensuring sufficient income generating opportunities in villages. Contribution/ Originality: This study has identified some important reasons of rural-urban migration and also indicates how this migration affects economic and social conditions of the host area.

This report examines current migration health issues in Central Asia, with a focus on Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan. It assesses the realization of migrants' right to health from a legal and sociological perspectives. It explores the health impact of migration in the Central Asian context and migrants' experience in accessing healthcare in destination countries, as well as trends in migration of health workers. Based on results, it outlines recommendations for government and non-government stakeholders to further realize migrants' right to health in the region.

Aligned to the Lancet Migration Global Statement to include migrants and refugees in countries’ response to COVID-19, this update focuses on Mexico’s challenges and opportunities to build an inclusive response that is based on a contextualized adaptation of the recommendations published by the Lancet Migration . A critical component for this analysis is the recognition of migration as a social determinant of health, which acts as a major risk factor for populations subjected to violence, trauma and forced exile while in the face of a global pandemic.

The aim of this research paper is to understand the connection between tuberculosis (TB) and globalization based on the analysis of the migration tendencies that directly affect the spread of TB worldwide. As declared by the World Health Organization (WHO), TB is an important public health issue since it is among the list of top infectious killer diseases worldwide (WHO, 2016). According to Kaye & Frieden (1996), “Tuberculosis remains a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in developing countries. Seven percent of all deaths in developing countries are attributed to tuberculosis.” (p. 55). In 2014, the number of cases of TB was globally estimated to be 9.6 million and 1.5 million died from the disease (WHO, 2016).

Migration of the healthcare personnel started long before Poland joined the EU. However, with the accession more and more people, especially doctors, decided to migrate. The main reason for migration was of a financial nature. In recent years the dynamics of this migration slowed down among
physicians, but it increased among nurses. Though at the moment migration does not pose a serious problem for the healthcare system in Poland it may be one of the factors which will cause problems in the future. Majority of migrants are relatively young. There is a threat that there will be no
replacement for nurses who will retire in the nearest future. State involvement / action is required to sustain the system.

Alternative Gesundheitsvorstellungen und ‐praktiken sowie deren Stellung werden gesundheitspolitisch kontrovers diskutiert. Im Auftrag der Robert Bosch Stiftung erstellte dieses Projekt im Jahr 2019 eine Literaturübersicht zur soziokulturellen Vielfalt im Gesundheitswesen in Deutschland. Hierzu wurden sozialwissenschaftliche Studien zu diversen Traditionen und Praktiken (wie z.B. Homöopathie, anthroposophische Medizin, Akupunktur, Ayurveda, schamanistische und christliche Geistheilung) systematisch gesichtet und Erkenntnisse sowohl zu alternativmedizinischen Patienten als auch Praktizierenden präsentiert. Fokussiert wurden zum einen historisch bereits länger existierende Angebote der Alternativ- und Komplementärmedizin sowie deren rechtliche Verankerung in Deutschland. Zum anderen betrachtet die Studie Heilungsverständnisse und  praktiken, die in den letzten Jahren bzw. Jahrzehnten über Dynamiken von Migration und Globalisierung in Deutschland an Popularität gewonnen haben. Zudem wurden systematisch Parallelen zu vergleichbaren Phänomenen im europäischen Ausland hergestellt und Studien miteinbezogen, die sich mit kritischen Einstellungen zur Bio- bzw. Schulmedizin befassen. Die Studie kommt zum Ergebnis, dass der Umfang alternativmedizinischer Praktiken aufgrund von uneinheitlichen Begrifflichkeiten und Konzeptualisierungen in der sozialwissenschaftlichen Literatur nur schwer zu bestimmen ist. Nichtsdestoweniger nimmt die Alternativ- und Komplementärmedizin eine zentrale gesellschaftliche Rolle in Deutschland ein. Sowohl in der sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschung als auch bei gesundheitspolitischen Maßnahmen bedarf es deshalb eines integrativen Blicks auf eine historisch verankerte und aktuell sukzessive weiter zunehmende Vielfalt im deutschen Gesundheitswesen.

Araştırmanın saha çalışması, 2016 yılının Temmuz ve Ağustos aylarında, Suriyeli Dom nüfusun göreceli yoğun olduğu Şanlıurfa, Gaziantep, Adana ve Mersin illerinde 400’ün üzerinde Dom erkek ve kadın ile yüz yüze ve 27 grup görüşmesi şeklinde yapılmıştır. Görüşmelerde; Arapça, Kürtçe ve Türkçe, Dom çalışmaları alanında uzman Kemal Vu- ral TARLAN ve Roman çalışmaları alanında uzman Hacer FOGGO’dan oluşan araştır- ma ekibi tarafından yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme sorularına dayandırılarak, gözlem ve özellikle gruplarla derinlemesine görüşmeler şeklinde Domların ikamet ettikleri ma- halleler, göç mekânları, çadırlar ve çalıştıkları tarlalarda yapılmıştır. Saha çalışması 15 Temmuz “darbe girişimi ve sonrasındaki olağanüstü hal” uygulamasının ilk günlerine denk geldiği için konuyla ilgili kamu kurumlarıyla yapılacak görüşmeler planlandığı şekilde gerçekleştirilememiştir. Bu nedenle, alan araştırmasının kamu ve yönetimsel boyutu araştırmacıların beş yıllık alan deneyimleri ve kamu kurum temsilcileriyle daha önce bu kapsamda yaptıkları görüşmeler ve katıldıkları çeşitli toplantılardaki istişare- ler, geçmişteki görüşme notları ve konuyla ilgili mevzuatın ve raporların incelenmesiy- le oluşturulmuştur. Böylece, Dom toplumunun Şanlıurfa, Gaziantep, Adana ve Mersin illerindeki profili ve temel ihtiyaçları belirlenmiş ve yaşadıkları yerler haritalandırıla- rak mevcut durum analizi hazırlanmıştır. Bu rapora kaynaklık eden araştırma Dom göçmenlerin sosyoloji, antropoloji ve tarih bilimleri kapsamında ele alınması gereken tarihsel arka plan, etnik köken, dil ve sosyo-ekonomik analizi olmayıp, Dom göçmen- lerin, Türkiye’de karşılaştıkları sorunlar, temel haklara erişimdeki sıkıntılar, yerli halk ve kamu otoritesi tarafından uygulanan ayrımcılık ve mevcut “göç mevzuatının” bu top- lulukların yaşamına etkileri ele alınarak değerlendirilmiştir.

Porque saem de Portugal tantos enfermeiros? Quais os motivos que os levam a tomar a decisão de emigrar? Que países escolhem e quantos emigram por ano? Têm intenção de regressar? O percurso de um enfermeiro português na Arábia Saudita é semelhante ao de um enfermeiro em Angola ou na Inglaterra? A análise combinada da sociologia e da antropologia, bem como os contributos da ciência política e da economia ajudam a responder a estas perguntas. Com o apoio da Ordem dos Enfermeiros, foram entrevistados 20 enfermeiros emigrados na Ásia, África e Europa. No livro podemos também conhecer melhor estes enfermeiros que saíram do país através dos seus relatos em primeira mão. Em apenas dois anos saíram mais de 4.600 enfermeiros do país, o equivalente à população total do concelho alentejano de Mora. Nalguns países, o número de enfermeiros portugueses quintuplicou nos últimos anos, como no Reino Unido e na Bélgica. Muito provavelmente, estamos a viver um momento histórico, em que os enfermeiros aparentam ser o grupo profissional que mais emigra em Portugal.

ABSTRACT

The migration of haitians to Brazil began after the earthquake that destroyed Port Prince, capital of Haiti, and surrounding areas in 2010. In a short time the city of São Paulo has been integrated as destination of large part of immigrants who entered in Brazil through the amazon borders. The Missão Paz, supported by the scalabrini missionaries in downtown São Paulo, has housed the immigrants since then. The surroundings of this have become a reference site for haitians. In this region many immigrants live and some of them work, it is possible to note the emergence of co-ethnics trades undertaken by haitian immigrants. The high cost of living leads the immigrants to seek alternative sites regarding to São Paulo downtown, as outer boroughs and cities of the metropolitan area, such as Santo André, the county where this research was conducted. Besides cheap rent, factors such as ease for rental property and means of transportation are taken into consideration by immigrants; it is possible to observe that communities are forming in regions close to train stations. In the Grande ABC region, the most representative haitian community are located at the Núcleo Ciganos, near Utinga station from the metropolitan train company. The fieldwork in this community led us to the perception of common phenomena to various migration flows, as well as the seizure of particular signs of evangelical haitians, group which we immersed ourselves. Contact networks among haitians are constantly expanding, consolidating several migratory routes. It is possible to observe immigrants who depart from Haiti directly to Santo André, which did not exist in a very short time ago. Reve de Brezil in Haitian Creole, alludes to the "Brazilian Dream" of Haitians; this dream full of fantasies which break with the daily reality of the immigrants who arrive here.

Keywords: Haitian immigration, migratory networks, migratory flow, Santo André, Brazil.

RESUMEN

El flujo migratorio de haitianos a Brasil comenzó después del terremoto que destruyó Puerto Príncipe, capital de Haití, y sus alrededores en 2010. Rápidamente la ciudad de São Paulo comenzó a figurar como destino de gran parte de los inmigrantes que entraron a Brasil a traes de las fronteras amazónicas. La Missão Paz, entidad mantenida por los Misioneros Scalabrinianos ubicada en el centro de São Paulo ha acogido a los inmigrantes desde entonces. Los alrededores de ésta área se ha tornado un lugar de referencia para los Haitianos en San Pablo. En la región viven muchos inmigrantes y otros cuantos trabajan, siendo posible notar el surgimiento de comercios co-étnicos emprendidos por los inmigrantes haitianos. El alto costo de vida lleva a los inmigrantes a buscar alternativas a la región central de São Paulo, como barrios alejados y municipios de la región metropolitana, como Santo André, municipio donde se llevó a cabo esta investigación. Además del costo de vida más bajo, factores como facilidad para alquilar un inmueble y medios de transporte son considerados por los inmigrantes, siendo posible observar que las comunidades se están estableciendo en regiones cercanas a las estaciones de tren. En la región del grande ABC la comunidad Haitiana más representativa se localiza en el Núcleo Ciganos, próximo a la estación Utinga de la Compañía Paulista de Trens Metropolitanos. El trabajo de campo realizado en esta comunidad nos llevó a la percepción de fenómenos comunes a diversos flujos migratorios, así como la acogida de signos particulares de los Haitianos evangélicos, grupo en el cual actuamos. Las redes de contacto entre los haitianos están en constante expansión, consolidando diversas rutas migratorias. Ya es posible observar inmigrantes que parten desde Haití directamente a Santo André, lo que no se veía hasta unos años atrás. Reve de Brezil, en Criollo haitiano, alude al “Sueño Brasilero “de los haitianos; un sueño lleno de fantasías que se rompen con la realidad de los inmigrantes que llegan aquí.

RESUMO

O fluxo migratório de haitianos para o Brasil teve início após o terremoto que destruiu Porto Príncipe, capital do Haiti, e arredores em 2010. Em pouco tempo a cidade de São Paulo passou a figurar como destino de parte considerável dos imigrantes que entravam no Brasil através das fronteiras amazônicas. A Missão Paz, entidade mantida pelos missionários scalabrinianos na região central de São Paulo, passou a abrigar os imigrantes desde então. O entorno desta tornou-se um local de referência para os haitianos em São Paulo. Nesta região vivem muitos imigrantes e trabalham outros tantos, sendo possível notar o surgimento de comércios co-étnicos empreendidos por imigrantes haitianos. O alto custo de vida leva parte dos imigrantes a buscar locais alternativos à região central de São Paulo, como bairros afastados e cidades da região metropolitana, como Santo André, município onde a presente pesquisa foi desenvolvida. Além do custo do aluguel mais baixo, fatores como facilidade de locação dos imóveis e meios de locomoção, são levados em consideração pelos imigrantes, sendo possível observar que as comunidades estão se formando em regiões próximas às estações de trens. Na região do Grande ABC a comunidade haitiana mais representativa localiza-se no Núcleo Ciganos, próximo à estação Utinga da Companhia Paulista de Trens Metropolitanos. O trabalho de campo realizado nesta comunidade nos levou à percepção de fenômenos comuns a diversos fluxos migratórios, bem como a apreensão de signos particulares dos haitianos evangélicos, grupo o qual nos inserimos. As redes de contato entre os haitianos estão em constante expansão, consolidando rotas migratórias diversas. Já é possível observar imigrantes que partem do Haiti diretamente para Santo André, o que não existia há até pouco tempo atrás. Reve de Brezil, em crioulo haitiano, alude ao “Sonho Brasileiro” dos haitianos; sonho este repleto de fantasias que se desfazem com a realidade cotidiana dos imigrantes que aqui chegam.

RÉSUMÉ

La migration des haïtiens au Brésil a commencé après le tremblement de terre qui a détruit Port-au-Prince, capitale d’Haïti et certaines villes proches en 2010. Puis la ville de São Paulo est devenu la cible d'un grand nombre d'immigrants qui sont entrés dans le pays par le biais frontières amazoniennes. L'organisation Missão Paz, dirigée par les missionnaires scalabriniens dans le centre de São Paulo, a été la maison des immigrants depuis leur arrivée. Les alentours de ce site sont devenus un point de référence pour les haïtiens à São Paulo; Dans cette région, de nombreux immigrants habitent et travaillent, tant d'autres, il est possible de noter l'émergence des commerces co-ethnique entrepris par les immigrants haïtiens. Le coût élevé de la vie rend un parti des immigrés à chercher des sites alternatifs à la région centrale de São Paulo, par exemple, des quartiers lointains et d'autres villes de la région métropolitaine, telles que Santo André est l'un d'entre eux et où cette recherche a été menée. Cette ville possède de nombreux avantages comme le prix de la location, la facilité d'accès à la propriété et le moyen de transport, ce qui conduit à les communautés à se former dans les régions proches des gares. Dans la région du Grande ABC, où la ville de Santo André est situé, est le Núcleo Ciganos, où se trouve la plus grande concentration d'haïtiens et Il est situé près de la gare Utinga de la compagnie des trains métropolitaine. Le travail sur le terrain est réalisé dans cette communauté nous a conduit à percevoir des phénomènes communs à divers flux migratoires, ainsi que de comprendre les caractéristiques particulières du groupe évangélique haïtienne dans lequel nous nous insérons. Réseaux de contact parmi les haïtiens sont en constante expansion, la consolidation de plusieurs routes migratoires. Il est possible d'observer les immigrants qui arrivent en venant d'Haïti, directement à Santo André, qui n'était pas exister dans un temps précédent. Reve de Brezil en créole haïtien, fait allusion à "Rêver de Brésil" de les Haïtiens; ce rêve plein de fantasmes qui rompent avec la réalité quotidienne des immigrants qui arrivent ici.

Mots-clés: Immigration haïtienne, les réseaux des migrants, les flux migratoires, Santo André, Brésil.

This chapter aims to discuss the interrelation that exists between distress and
diabetes among Indian and Pakistani migrants. In particular, it explores the way
respondents perceived issues around migration and settlement as detrimental to their
health and thus, as causing diabetes. Based on findings from an extended
ethnographic fieldwork, the chapter presents the way Indians and Pakistanis in UK
narrate their diabetes onset in relation to the impact that migration has had, and
continues to have, within their lives. Issues around settling down, socializing and
cultural identity were perceived as having significant repercussions on their general
health, including sugar levels. Respondents also perceived attempts to live with the
condition as causing distress, particularly difficulties in following biomedical
recommendations for diabetes control. They also struggled with guidance around
food consumption, which they felt clashed with daily attempts to recreate a familiar
social reality and ensure cultural continuity. Indians and Pakistanis however, often
turned to alternative strategies in order to take care of their sugar levels and thus
counterbalance lack of changes within their diet. Such means were perceived as not to
interfere with their social reality, but instead effectively contribute in keeping the
condition, and thus their reality, under control.

If until 2006, the main feature of the Romanian migration had been primarily the temporary labour migration towards the Western countries of people with secondary education at most, once Romania joined the European Union on January 1, 2007, there occurred a major change in the profile of the Romanian migrant. This change constitutes the main focus of this study.

Moreover, the comparison with the migration period 2000-2006 highlighted both the qualitative and the quantitative differences relative to this phenomenon; the specific features that were registered over the first of 5 -6 years of the new millennium giving this period in the history of the Romanian migration a particular profile. In correlation with the analyses performed during 2006 and 2010, the information on hand has led us to the conclusion that the Romanian emigration after the 1990s has comprised autonomous sequences, i.e. discrete waves, whose theoretical study was supported by
approaches that had been already given credit to in the Romanian specialist literature and by concepts such as "social world mobility" in “three migration stages”, according to the ideas of professor Dumitru Sandu. You may a find a more detailed description of these theoretical foundations, as well as a wider context for this research in Chapter I of the study.

We might add that the social losses indicated in this case do not impact on the social body to the same extent that the migration of Romanian doctors, at the rate shown by the last two years, has affected the survival resource of the Romanian national community. The fourth Romanian migration wave during the period 2007-2011 is foreshadowing a major component of the brain drain that, for instance, the preceding migration wave did not have.

...attempts to answer the question 'What do we already have and what do we still need in terms of public policies in the field of migration?' By making an analysis pattern of the aspects related to the creation of a public policy for the international migration phenomenon, we signal certain points of interest and debate resulting from
experience, data and previous research. This brings into attention current situations, problems related to the role of institutional players, working method and data types, which should substantiate future discussions or strategy schemes.

RESUMO: A mobilidade humana é um fenômeno que cada vez mais tem sido notado em função das consequências para a saúde, tanto das populações locais quanto das migrantes em ambos os polos do circuito. Partindo de uma revisão de alguns autores que abordam as patologias associadas aos corpos dos imigrantes, o artigo problematiza as questões relacionadas com as representações sociais das agentes comunitárias de saúde sobre os novos imigrantes haitianos em uma cidade de médio porte no Sul do Brasil. A pesquisa foi realizada etnograficamente, por meio de observações participantes, entrevistas, conversas formais e informais com imigrantes, gestores do sistema de saúde e agentes comunitárias de saúde entre 2014 e 2016. Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de se qualificar o acolhimento aos imigrantes junto aos serviços de saúde com o objetivo de prevenir possíveis situações de sofrimento e dificuldade de acesso aos serviços de saúde por parte desta população vulnerável.

Wisdom is at once one of the most elusive and most valued kinds of knowledge. Empirical research shows that, indeed, across cultures, people hope that life experience will eventually make them wiser. The problem is that, to date, the academic study of wisdom and of the processes by which it can be learned has been dominated by psychologists. The first part of the article reviews the state-of-the-art psychological scholarship on wisdom to show how that conceptualization lacks geographical sensitivity and therefore misses some of the crucial geographical mechanisms by which people become wiser. The second part of the article singles out and focuses on one such mechanism, namely, the learning of wisdom through geographical dislocations. By drawing on insights from the study of international migration, exile, and transculturation in postcolonial contexts, the final part of the article suggests specific learning processes that might strengthen the hypothesis that geographical dislocations and the attendant cross-cultural experiences they generate are often conducive to wisdom. La sabiduría es a la vez uno de los tipos de conocimiento más esquivos y más valorados. La investigací on empírica en verdad muestra que en todas las culturas la gente espera que la experiencia de la vida eventualmente los haga más sabios. El problema es que hasta ahora el estudio académico sobre la sabiduría y sobre los procesos por medio de los cualesésta puede alcanzarse ha estado dominado por los psicólogos. La primera parte del artículo revisa el estado del arte de la erudicí on psicoí ogica sobre este particular, para mostrar c ´ omo esa conceptualizací on carece de sensibilidad geográfica y en consecuencia deja de considerar algunos de los mecanismos geográficos cruciales mediante los cuales la gente se hace más sabia. La segunda parte del artículo escoge y se concentra en uno de tales mecanismos, o sea, el aprendizaje de la sabiduría por medio de las dislocaciones geográficas. A partir de la perspicacia del estudio de la migrací on internacional, el exilio y la transculturací on en contextos poscoloniales, la parte final del artículo sugiere procesos de aprendizaje específicos, que podrían fortalecer la hipótesis de que las dislocaciones geográficas y las experiencias culturales de vasto espectro generadas por aquellas a menudo llevan a la sabiduría. Palabras clave: distancia, dislocaciones geográficas, migrací on internacional, aprendizaje visceral, sabiduría.

Narrazioni di salute nella web society A CURA DI CLETO CORPOSANTO Rubbettino Rubbettino Narrazioni di salute nella web society / a cura di Cleto Corposanto #sociologie La narrazione fornisce rappresentazioni sociali e vissuti individuali particolarmente ricchi, contribuendo così ad aprire nuove e inedite prospettive nella descrizione della realtà. Nei racconti di malattia vengono al pettine nodi cruciali -e confliggenti -che si intersecano fra valori e visioni del mondo, nozioni di malattia e di salute, idealtipi di medicina e di scienza. La narrazione è quindi probabilmente la via migliore per accedere all'evento di malattia e all'esperienza di cura, come vissuti originari della persona. In questo modo diviene motore e simbolo di una trasformazione della pratica clinica, una trasformazione che non deve restare confinata nel tempo di malattia né venire limitata alle condizioni patologiche in cui non è più possibile guarire. La malattia vissuta dai soggetti ha a che fare con la biologia, ma riguarda anche fattori che parlano della vita: fattori soggettivi, validi per un singolo individuo e non per altre persone pur affette dalla medesima patologia. La malattia descritta dal medico appare agli occhi del malato come una struttura lineare. Essa ha un nome, un decorso, un esito. Della malattia in quanto processo biologico, il medico sa tutto o quasi; della malattia come esperienza del paziente invece spesso conosce poco.

Chez les femmes migrantes, les problèmes touchant la santé sexuelle sont importants en raison des barrières d’ordre culturel, religieux, linguistique, économique, social, géographique et politique qui compliquent l’accès aux soins sexuels pour ces femmes (Lebrun, 2010). En effet, leur vulnérabilité face aux IST est déterminée par leurs expériences de vie, leur statut migratoire, par les éventuels abus sexuels qu’elles ont pu vivre pendant leur trajectoire migratoire, les barrières linguistiques et l’absence d’un réseau de soutien stable une fois sur le
territoire canadien (Ochoa et Sampalis, 2014).
En raison de ces barrières, les femmes migrantes au Canada connaissent de moins bons résultats de santé sexuelle que les femmes nées au Canada, notamment en ce qui concerne les infections sexuellement transmissibles comme le VIH/SIDA. C’est pour cette raison que l’étude de la santé sexuelle des femmes migrantes au Canada a semblé pertinente pour cette recherche car la population étant diversifiée du point de vue culturel, le système de santé canadien doit
s’adapter à une multitude de besoins en termes de santé sexuelle, pour prendre en charge les
nouvelles arrivantes de manière adaptée et pour maintenir leur bon état de santé à l’arrivée.

Les résultats de la méta-analyse ainsi que l’étude des enquêtes qualitatives me permettront de
répondre à la problématique suivante : Dans quelle mesure la migration peut-elle être un
déterminant majeur de la santé sexuelle des femmes migrantes ? Qu’est-ce qui influence la
santé sexuelle des femmes migrantes : la situation dans le pays d’origine ou les conditions dans
le pays d’accueil ? Quelle est la place de la trajectoire migratoire dans leur santé sexuelle ?

One of the most promising recent developments in health policy has been the emergence of a global ‘health equity’ movement concerned with the social determinants of health. In European research and policy-making, however, there is an strong tendency to reduce ‘social determinants’ to ‘socioeconomic determinants’ and to ignore the role of ethnicity, migration and other factors in the creation of inequities. This threatens to hold up the development of work on ethnicity and migration and thus to perpetuate inequities linked to these factors. The present article sets out to illustrate this tendency and to investigate the reasons which may underlie it. The justifications often put forward for neglecting ethnicity and migration are shown to be erroneous. An integrated approach, simultaneously taking account of socioeconomic status, migration and ethnicity as well as other determinants of inequity, is essential if work on the social determinants of health is to make progress. Equity is indivisible; researchers investigating different aspects of social stratification should not treat each other as rivals, but as indispensable allies. An integrated, intersectional, multivariate and multilevel approach will improve our understanding of health inequities and make available more resources for tackling them.

In this paper authors describe their experience of using dance/movement therapy with migrant women in the Netherlands. Migration process itself is viewed as an important factor, underlying mental disbalance. The program of dance/movement therapy developed by authors, is based on the culture-sensitive, gender-specific, empowering approach with the key metaphor of uprooting and taking roots again.

Décimo capítulo de la tesis “Desencajes y Bricolajes de la Protección Social: Las Familias Transnacionales Bolivianas en Barcelona y São Paulo”. Este capítulo se ha dividido en dos secciones. En la primera se ha presentado, de manera sintética, las formas como las familias transnacionales bolivianas se relacionan con las concepciones y estrategias de cuidado. Inicialmente, se ha presentado una tipología sobre las formas de centralidad de la familia en las narrativas de transnacionalización. Se identificó los tipos: negativo, urgente, abnegado y aspiracional. En la segunda parte, se han discutido los motivos y componentes voluntarios y forzados para la transnacionalización familiar. Se llamó la atención sobre el papel cumplido por las barreras legales en Barcelona, lo que genera una mayor incidencia de transnacionalización familiar en esa ciudad. Posteriormente, en la tercera parte, se discuten los arreglos de cuidado y las distribuciones de responsabilidad. Por último, en la cuarta parte, se presenta la noción de Pä Chuyma para expresar la situación de concentración de responsabilidades sobre el cuidado en las mujeres.
En la segunda sección se ha abordado las concepciones sobre la salud y la educación, y de cómo éstas atraviesan las estrategias de bricolaje de la protección social. En relación a la educación, se ha identificado una crítica la libertad de la escuela en Barcelona y São Paulo lo que ha justificado la decisión de hacer los hijos estudiar en Bolivia. En relación a la salud, ha sido posible identificar una concepción general positiva sobre la atención sanitaria en Barcelona y en São Paulo. No obstante, son frecuentes los casos de migrantes que prefieren ser atendidos en el servicio de salud privada en Bolivia, debido a la ausencia de esperas y el trato más cercano y sensible de los médicos.

This article is the result of a study that seeks to understand the relationship between socio-economic conditions, health and active ageing. Behaviours related to active ageing in relation to health were identified as were the strategies used in active ageing and their determinants. A qualitative methodology was adopted in the form of semi-structured interviews. Data processing consisted of thematic content analysis in interviews. Two socio-economic groups of elderly Cape Verdean men and women composed the study sample. Both groups totalled 22 cases. Findings indicated that the socio-economic status interferes directly in the affairs of active ageing rather than health issues. In the higher socio-economic group, it was found that status determines active ageing rather than health issues.

die gesundheitliche Versorgung von Menschen steht im Mittelpunkt des ärztlichen Handelns. Dies betrifft auch und
in besonderem Maße Menschen, die in Not geraten sind und beispielsweise als Asylsuchende medizinische Hilfe in Anspruch nehmen müssen. Hinzu kommt die Versorgung von Asylsuchenden vor Ort, in der Praxis oder den Notauf- nahmen der Kliniken. Der 118. Ärztetag fordert diesbezüglich explizit die medizinisch adäquate Versorgung von Flüchtlingen und insbesondere von Kindern und Jugendlichen. Mehr als eine Million Bürger mit Migrationshintergrund werden pro Jahr notärztlich versorgt. Nicht nur Sprachbarrieren sondern auch ein unterschiedliches Verständnis und Wissen über medizinische Interventionen stellen eine besondere Herausforderung in der medizinischen Notfallversor- gung dar. Diese Veranstaltung soll interessante Kasuistiken in diesem Kontext vermitteln, medizinische Herausforderun- gen fokussieren und strukturelle Lösungsansätze diskutieren. Die interkulturelle Begegnung und Vielfalt auch im Gesundheitswesen sind eine Bereicherung. Neben medizinisch renommierten Referenten, stehen Ansprechpartner von Behörden, Organisationen und Ärzten zur Verfügung, die direkt an der Versorgung von Flüchtlingen beteiligt sind.
Die Veranstalter freuen sich auf einen medizinisch interessanten interkulturellen Dialog.
