Estrategias para organizar la investigación y la atención en salud mental de poblaciones migrantes
Se analizan los desafíos de salud mental que enfrenta la población inmigrante en España, destacando la falta de una asistencia coordinada que responda a sus necesidades específicas. Se encuentran una elevada prevalencia de trastornos mentales, una mayor exposición a los determinantes de salud mental, y diferencias en la expresión del malestar mental y en las conductas relacionadas con el acceso y la demanda de servicios. Se presentan propuestas e…
Cross-Cultural Validation of the Barcelona Immigration Stress Scale
The concept of acculturative stress has been the subject of debate, resulting in contradictory arguments regarding its measurement. Many of the existing acculturative stress instruments have been developed for use with specific migrant groups. The objective of the current study is to revisit the psychometric properties of the Barcelona Immigration Stress Scale, an instrument aimed at measuring stress levels associated with the migration trajector…
Structural and Intercultural Factors to Health Outcomes and Healthcare Access among Migrant Women in Spain and Greece
Migrant women encounter specific health risks and challenges at host countries, as well as unequal access to social and health services. This qualitative study explores the health needs and factors that hamper access to and utilization of healthcare services as reported by migrant women recently arrived (<5 years) in Spain and Greece. Based on four focus-group discussions and seven individual interviews, our findings highlight the effect that str…
Treating immigrant patients in psychiatric emergency rooms
We examine whether patient variables (geographic origin, gender, Spanish language proficiency) and subjective clinician aspects in emergency department psychiatric encounters (diagnostic certainty, clinician's comfort level with patient) are associated with diagnosis and the use of coercive measures. Using a descriptive cross-sectional design, we recorded 467 visits (400 foreign-born and 67 native-born patients) in hospital psychiatry emergency r…
HIV testing in clinical and community settings for an international sample of Latino immigrants and nonimmigrants
Latino/as in the U.S. and Spain make up a disproportionate percentage of cases of HIV infection, and often are diagnosed later than their non-Latino/a counterparts. Understanding the factors that affect HIV testing in different contexts is critical to best promote HIV testing, which is considered essential to both prevention and early treatment. This study explored differences in HIV testing rates among Latino/a participants in an international s…
Construction and Preliminary Validation of the Barcelona Immigration Stress Scale
In the study of mental health and migration, an increasing number of researchers have shifted the focus away from the concept of acculturation towards the stress present in the migratory experience. The bulk of research on acculturative stress has been carried out in the United States, and thus the definition and measurement of the construct has been predicated on that cultural and demographic context, which is of dubious applicability in Europe …
