The aim was to identify and critically analyse the nature of psychological interventions and their components for addressing mental health concerns of women migrants and asylum seekers. This review included pre-post feasibility/pilot studies, community and individual case studies, and Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs]) elucidating interventions addressing mental health concerns of women migrants and asylum seekers above the age of 18 years, published in peer-reviewed journals between January 2003 and November 2023 in English. Systematic search was conducted across four databases by two reviewers and predefined extraction template was used for charting data. Twenty-four studies were selected out of 1568 screened studies. Interventions were supportive and treatment-oriented to help women who migrated due to violence and political instability. They were delivered by mental health professionals in a group or individual format, lasting for eight-to-twelve sessions. Theoretical models used were cognitive-behavioural, arts-based, trauma-focused, family-focused, and strengths-based perspectives. Major components of interventions included psychoeducation, coping strategies, working with cognitions, emotions, and exposure. These interventions were culturally-adapted with strategies specifically designed for women refugees and asylum-seekers. Critical gaps were identified and recommendations include more representation of lived experiences of migrant women, highlighting process of psychotherapy, and thrust for therapist well-being. This review identifies gaps in literature including limited large-scale studies, geographic diversity, and qualitative process data. The findings of the review recommend culturally adapted, resilience-focused interventions with a long-term follow-up.","PeriodicalId":15958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health","volume":" ","pages":"990-1014"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145390385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the degree of law enforcement involvement in the care of traumatically injured patients nationally is not clearly established. This study aims to assess differences in criminal-legal system engagement among marginalized trauma patients by residence status and estimate effects on patient care. This cross-sectional retrospective study of housed, unhoused, or migrant and/or undocumented adult trauma patients utilized trauma registry data (2021-2022) in the Trauma Quality Programs (TQP) database. Pre-hospital police transport or discharge to court/law enforcement represented criminal-legal system engagement. Regression models estimated differences in rate of criminal-legal system engagement by residence status and predicted effect on hospital length of stay (LOS), adjusting for patient age, race, sex, ethnicity, payer, assault as mechanism, and injury severity score. 1,540,173 patients were included, of whom 15,805 were unhoused and 1,564 were migrant/undocumented. Unhoused patients had lower odds of police transport to the hospital (aOR:0.77 [95% CI:0.64-0.92]) but higher odds of discharge to the criminal-legal system (1.30 [1.16-1.45]) compared to housed patients. Migrant/undocumented patients had higher odds of police transport (17.5 [14.6-21.0]) and criminal-legal system discharge (19.6 [17.2-22.3]) than housed patients. Criminal-legal system discharge predicted reduced LOS, particularly for migrant/undocumented patients (beta:-70.9 h [-104.5,-37.3]). The trauma encounter may disproportionately act as a point of entry into the criminal-legal system for unhoused and migrant/undocumented patients regardless of pre-hospital police transport. Criminal-legal system engagement shortens hospital LOS, raising concerns for unwarranted differences in care.","PeriodicalId":15958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health","volume":" ","pages":"788-793"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145714490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the critical importance of this issue, there is a lack of comprehensive systematic reviews examining refugees' QoL. This study aims to address this gap by conducting a systematic literature review with two main objectives: (a) to investigate the factors influencing refugees' QoL; and (b) to identify research gaps within the current body of knowledge. Integrating a bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review, this study visually maps the scientific landscape and categorises the factors affecting refugees' QoL. The review adheres to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines and selects articles from two leading academic databases: Web of Science and Scopus. Five key themes impacting refugees' QoL emerged: economic factors, social factors, physical factors, affective factors, and administrative factors. The findings underscore the importance of adopting a comprehensive approach when seeking to enhance refugees' QoL. Furthermore, through the incorporation of a thematic map and a microeconomic perspective, this review proposes four key directions for future research: (a) exploring affluent migrant communities; (b) examining host community impacts, including local perceptions and economic tensions; (c) developing refugee-specific QoL measurement tools; and (d) understanding the influence of genetic and biological factors.","PeriodicalId":15958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health","volume":" ","pages":"809-827"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145377586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These barriers are particularly critical in the context of Emergency General Surgery (EGS) where timely access to healthcare is essential for better health outcomes. This study compares preoperative healthcare utilization between immigrants undergoing EGS with non-immigrants. EGS procedures in British Columbia between 2013 and 2021 were analyzed using population-based linked immigration, physician billing, and hospital discharge summary data. Preoperative primary care visits, specialist consults, imaging, and emergency department (ED) visits in the one-year period preceding the EGS were compared between immigrants with non-immigrants. Sub-analyses examined years since immigration and ethnic minority status. Of 77,937 EGS procedures, immigrants accounted for 14.6%. Immigrants had fewer pre-operative primary care visits (RR: 0.94, 95%CI: 0.92-0.96), specialist consults (RR: 0.88, 95%CI: 0.85-0.91), imaging services (RR: 0.96, 95%CI: 0.93-0.99), and ED visits (RR: 0.70, 95%CI: 0.68-0.72). Within the immigrant cohort, fewer primary care and ED visits were observed among the newest immigrants and among ethnic minorities. Immigrants accessed fewer healthcare services in the period preceding their EGS. Differences were most pronounced among new immigrants and immigrants from culturally-diverse countries who may be unfamiliar with the structure or processes for accessing healthcare services. Policy interventions are needed to prospectively link immigrants at highest risk of EGS with appropriate health services.","PeriodicalId":15958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health","volume":" ","pages":"953-962"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145952045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, increases in global migration have added novel intercultural complexity to interactions within a variety of domestic work contexts, including healthcare. Despite this trend, the question of how Western-trained healthcare providers navigate intercultural communication challenges in clinical encounters remains under explored. Considering Canada's growing Middle Eastern immigrant population, this study sought to investigate how Ontario healthcare providers have conceptualized, enacted, and evaluated empathic communication with Middle Eastern newcomer patients. Using a qualitative methodology, we conducted 26 semi-structured interviews with healthcare providers. Our results revealed three interrelated conceptual themes: attentive perspective-taking, conveying active listening, and accommodating/empowering patients. These findings advance existing scholarship on empathic healthcare communication by underscoring how healthcare providers balance professional boundaries with cultural accommodation. On a practical level, this study also offers guidance for intercultural communication training: it identifies practical behavioural strategies that foreground relational attunement and behavioural flexibility, which can equip providers to navigate complex, diverse care encounters with confidence and efficacy.","PeriodicalId":15958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health","volume":" ","pages":"924-934"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145933661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigated palliative care challenges through open-ended questions in an online survey conducted across various hospice and palliative care settings. Based on 332 completed responses, our analysis revealed significant barriers to delivering culturally sensitive care. Using qualitative content analysis, we applied an empathy map to identify categories. Findings showed that language barriers and cultural insensitivity notably hindered communication, access, and trust-building. PwM often relied on family networks, which caused delayed care-seeking and logistical difficulties. Despite these challenges, PwM strived for dignity, trust, and care aligned with their cultural background.

This study examines how the pandemic has influenced Afghan refugee women's integration through challenges and facilitators at various socio-ecological levels. Semi-structured interviews with 34 Afghan refugee women and 18 service providers in California were conducted. Interview data were analyzed using the thematic framework to identify themes indicating the impacts of COVID-19 on refugee women's integration based on Ager and Stange's integration framework. Findings revealed multifaceted challenges in refugee women's integration across multiple socio-ecological levels exacerbated by the pandemic including changes in roles, financial illiteracy, language barriers, cultural adaptation issues, inefficient policies, patriarchal culture, administrative overload, and systemic barriers in employment and education. However, factors like empowerment through education and employment, family/friends/community support, socializing, childcare support, awareness of laws and women's rights, and access to culturally competent job opportunities facilitated their integration.
