Abstract

Objective

To explore community midwives’ experiences caring for pregnant undocumented migrants seeking prenatal care in Norway.

Method

Due to the relatively limited previous research and number of pregnant undocumented migrants we used an explorative approach through qualitative method. Ten community midwives were interviewed after snowball sampling in Oslo, the capital of Norway. The main themes emerged through a qualitative analysis of the transcripts, and meaning units were extracted.

Results

Midwives with no prior experience with pregnant undocumented migrants expressed uncertainty regarding the women’s rights. In contrast, those midwives who had had prior experience with this group, developed their own solutions and enacted certain strategies to help them without any guidelines from their employer. All the midwives found it challenging to provide follow-up care to the undocumented migrants during pregnancy and postpartum. They also expressed concerns regarding increasing challenges creating clinical trusting relationships and restrictions and practices at public hospitals.

Conclusions

To ensure adequate perinatal care, it is needed to reassure pregnant undocumented migrants free and safe care at all stages in the birth giving process. Community midwives need professional support in establishing trusting clinical relationships with pregnant undocumented migrants to reduce maternal stress and facilitate continuity in perinatal care.

挪威对怀孕的无证移民的“再见，祝你好运”助产护理：一项定性研究

目的探讨社区助产士在挪威照顾寻求产前护理的怀孕无证移民的经验。在挪威首都奥斯陆，十名社区助产士在雪球式抽样后接受了采访。通过对转录本的定性分析，得出了主要主题，并提取了意义单元。结果没有与怀孕的无证移民接触过的助产士对妇女的权利表示不确定。相比之下，那些以前有过这一群体经验的助产士，在没有雇主任何指导方针的情况下，制定了自己的解决方案并制定了某些策略来帮助他们。所有助产士都发现，在怀孕和产后为无证移民提供后续护理很有挑战性。他们还对在公立医院建立临床信任关系、限制和做法的挑战越来越大表示担忧。结论为了确保足够的围产期护理，需要让怀孕的无证移民在分娩过程的各个阶段都得到免费和安全的护理。社区助产士需要专业支持，与怀孕的无证移民建立信任的临床关系，以减轻产妇压力，促进围产期护理的连续性。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
