Vulnerability, Relocation and Resilience
Widowed women constitute a majority of India’s older female population. Increasing numbers seek shelter in institutional homes. This qualitative study examines the relocation of older widows into not-for-profit old age homes in India, focusing on their motivations for moving and on resilience practices they employ in the new environment. The research took place in Mangalore, Karnataka, involving in-depth interviews with 15 widows (aged 60 and abo…
Exclusion and Othering in maternity care for forced migrant women
This article investigates the political, legal, institutional, and interpersonal experiences of exclusion and Othering that forced migrant mothers encountered during pregnancy, birth and up to one year postpartum. Problem-centred qualitative interviews were conducted with 33 forced migrant mothers and 80 maternity health care professionals (HCPs) in Berlin, Brandenburg and NRW, Germany.

Equal Alternatives or Lower Standards for Immigrant Women-Analyzing Obstetric Care for Immigrant Women in Berlin Within the Framework of Cultural Health Capital
In obstetric clinics in Berlin, Germany, more than half of the women are immigrants. The main objective of the qualitative study was to explore the staff's experiences with obstetric care for immigrants and juxtapose it with the immigrants' comments on their birth experiences. We analyze potential differences along the framework of a cultural health capital (CHC). Between May and August 2017, semi-structured interviews were carried out with 17 ob…
Health literate maternity care of forced migrant women in Germany
Understanding health literacy in maternity care of forced migrant women in Germany provides invaluable insights into the health literacy-related barriers forced migrant women face and the resources available to them. These are integral to building health literate maternity care, which is diversity-sensitive and responsive to forced migrant women's needs. This study conducted a secondary qualitative analysis of health care providers' perspectives …
Reasons for a Lower Rate of Epidural Anesthesia During Birth for Immigrant Women in the Eyes of Medical Staff
Various studies have shown that immigrant women in comparison to non-immigrant women of the same parity have lower rates of epidural anesthesia (EDA). Data from two studies on immigrant obstetric care in Berlin, Germany were analyzed to answer the following question: What reasons do the medical staff see for the lower rate of EDA in immigrant women? Between May and August 2017, 34 interviews with obstetricians and midwives in four obstetric clini…
Adequate Utilization of Emergency Services in Germany
Background: The role of emergency services (ES) is to provide round-the-clock acute care. In recent years, inadequate use of ES has been internationally thematised because of overcrowding and the associated cost. Evidence shows that migrant populations tend to use more ES than non-migrant but it remains to show if there is a differential in inadequacy. Method: Quantitative data from consecutive patients visiting three ES in Berlin (hospital-based…
Tanzanian Women ́s Knowledge About Cervical Cancer and HPV and Their Prevalence of Positive via Cervical Screening Results. Data From a Prevention and Awareness Campaign in Northern Tanzania, 2017 – 2…
There is an alarming lack of knowledge about cervical cancer and, to a lesser Extent, about HPV among the study participants. Having health insurance influenced the level of knowledge significantly. Outreach programs in rural areas appear to target the population in need of health education. Low positive VIA screening results are paralleled with lower HIV rates among the women. We assume that the high density of primary health care coverage in no…
Are Social Status and Migration Background Associated with Utilization of Non-medical Antenatal Care? Analyses from Two German Studies
Our study suggests that non-medical ANC remains in some part the prerogative of non-migrant, well-educated and economically privileged women. Since differences in non-medical ANC have the potential to create inequalities in terms of birth outcomes and maternal health during pregnancy and post-partum, more efforts are needed to promote the use of non-medical ANC by all population groups
Do social factors and country of origin contribute towards explaining a “Latina paradox” among immigrant women giving birth in Germany
There is evidence that low acculturation (but not affinity to religion) contributes towards explaining the epidemiologic paradox with regard to preterm birth, emphasising the influence of socioeconomic characteristics on birth outcomes. The influence of Turkish origin on preterm birth and Lebanese origin on SGA suggests that non-social factors relating to the country of origin are also at play in explaining birth outcome differences, and that the…
Knowledge among German and Turkish Women about Specifically Female Bodily Functions, Contraception, Preventative Medical Examinations and Menopause
The legally binding consent of a patient to surgical operations of certain diagnostic measures during hospitalisation is actually guaranteed only in cases where the medical information is oriented to the individual level of understanding of the patient. The real extent of actual knowledge about health relevant aspects is not always known. Immigrant women constitute a large portion of the patients in big German cities. In most clinics the difficul…
