dc.description.abstract | The migratory flow from the African continent to Europe is intense and
the European countries should apply a humanitarian, health and social response to this emerging
problem. Migrants coming from Africa to Europe are a very vulnerable population. Healthcare
professionals should be prepared for answering their needs from a transcultural approach, which
requires a better understanding of this phenomenon. Thus, the aim of this study was to improve
nursing and healthcare professionals’ awareness and better understanding of migrant life experiences
during the migration journey. An exploratory descriptive qualitative research was conducted. In depth interviews were conducted involving four key informants and content analysis were performed
with the transcriptions. Results: Three themes merged: life situations in their countries of origin;
motivations that led them to undertake the migratory journey; and experiences they lived during
the migratory journey. The results described the dramatic experience and motivations for crossing
the strait of Gibraltar from Africa to Europe, including feelings, fears, hopes and lived experiences.
The determination of immigrants to fight for a better life opportunity and the physical damage
and psychological consequences they suffer were revealed. Conclusions: This study would help
healthcare professionals to better understand this complex reality and deliver culturally adapted care.
Knowledge of the starting reality of these populations can help health professionals to incorporate a
cross-cultural approach that improves the relational, ethical and affective competences to provide
quality care to the migrant population, as well as the development of health measures to fight against
inequalities suffered by these population groups. | es |
