Abstract
- Aim: To catch a representative view of a multicultural population's needs. Design: Qualitative study. Methods: Semi‐structured interviews were conducted from July 2022 to January 2023 with the project's stakeholders, migrants, and residents. Data analysis was performed using a multimethod textual analysis technique. Findings: Territorial barriers, lack of social network, and specific professionals' training emerged as healthcare delivery obstacles. For migrants, language improvement emerged as a health priority. A deep relationship with migrants emerged as a deficiency for residents. Conclusion: A welcoming project equipped with solid leadership and the right resources can be fundamental in mediating health promotion and integration. In this process, the involvement of the resident population is essential. Implications for the Profession and/or Patient Care: Analysing the migrants' needs and the strengths and limitations of a reception system could help identify the challenges for professionals in delivering culturally competent care. In this context, the nurse's role becomes relevant, being responsible for taking charge and caring for the population and the link between professionals and the population. What Problem Did the Study Address?: The study addressed the problem of improving the overall health of migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers, mainly focusing on reception and integration into a new society process. What Were the Main Findings?: Worse health was identified with adaptation, integration, and family problems. Territorial barriers emerged, hindering good health. Where and on Whom Will the Research Have An Impact?: These research findings can be valuable for health professionals who want to improve the reception process and enhance a care model integrated with residents. Patient or Public Contribution: No patient or public contribution. Reporting Method: To describe the research report, we referred to the COREQ checklist (Tong et al., 2007). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
