Exploring the Impacts of Migration on Iranian Students Well- Being

Migration is the movement of people across a specified boundary for the purpose of establishing a new or semi-permanent residence. With up to 2% of the world’s population living outside of their country of birth, the potential impact of population mobility on health and use of health services of migrant host nations is increasing in its importance. Historically this movement was nomadic, often causing significant conflict with the indigenous population and their displacement or cultural assimilation. Qualitative method was used to this research. Present study draws on interviews, with 7 interviews with UPM student’s emigrants. Results illustrate immigrant status may impact family stress and uncertainty, health outcomes, and educational attainment and may result in increased social isolation for students in immigrant families.
