Satisfaction with Maternity Care Among Immigrant Women, Refugee Women and Non-immigrant Women
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…
Acculturation Experiences and Preterm Birth in Berlin
Acculturation and acculturative stress are potential risk factors for adverse perinatal outcomes. This study investigates whether and how acculturative stress affects preterm birth (PTB) in a sample of migrant women in Berlin. We interviewed 955 women who recently gave birth using standardized questionnaires (Frankfurt Acculturation Scale and Acculturative Stress Index). Multivariable logistic regression analyses assessed the effects of accultura…
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…
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…
Geschichte der Berliner Universitäts-Frauenkliniken
Turkish and German patients' recall of diagnosis and therapy before and following informed consent
The results reflect socio-demographic differences between ethnic groups and indicate deficiency of the informed consent process for patients belonging to an ethnic minority
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…
