Abstract

Immigrant women in the United States often have poorer maternal and infant outcomes and suboptimal experiences of maternity care compared to non-immigrant women in the same setting. The purpose of this study was to explore community-based doulas' experiences of working with immigrant clients and maternal health care providers in Arkansas. A descriptive qualitative design was used. Themes emerged within three categories: 1) experiences with immigrant clients; 2) experiences with maternal health care providers; and 3) suggestions to improve support for immigrant clients. Within the first theme, three subthemes emerged: 1) language barriers; 2) transportation; and 3) access to food and housing. Within the second theme, two subthemes emerged: 1) dismissive; and 2) takes time to build rapport. Within the third theme, two subthemes emerged: 1) listen to the client and improve communication; and 2) more community-based doulas. Community-based doula programs may help address poorer health outcomes faced by immigrant women.

探索阿肯色州以社区为基础的助产师服务移民、移民和难民客户的经验。
在相同的环境下,与非移民妇女相比,美国的移民妇女往往有较差的母婴结局和次优的产妇护理经历。本研究的目的是探讨阿肯色州社区助产师与移民客户和孕产妇保健提供者合作的经验。采用描述性定性设计。主题可分为三类:1)与移民客户打交道的经历;2)与孕产妇保健提供者接触的经验;3)改善对移民客户支持的建议。在第一个主题中,出现了三个子主题:1)语言障碍;2)运输;3)获得食物和住房。在第二个主题中,出现了两个副主题:1)不屑一顾;2)需要时间来建立融洽的关系。在第三个主题中,出现了两个子主题:1)倾听客户并改善沟通;2)更多以社区为基础的助产师。以社区为基础的助产师项目可能有助于解决移民妇女面临的较差的健康状况。
