“To be taken seriously” : women's reflections on how migration and resettlement experiences influence their healthcare needs during childbearing in Sweden

Conclusion Caregivers/midwives should be aware of the hardships the women face. Hardships stem from experiences of migration and resettlement as well as from structural constraints such as the “triple jeopardy” of ethnicity, SES and gender, which increase women's needs of support in childbearing. Such awareness is necessary when promoting health and reducing the unnecessary suffering and victimization of women, their children, and their families. It is a matter of patient safety and equity.
