Abstract

This paper examines the representations of transnational health resources, practices, and perspectives in the narratives of Brazilian immigrant women. The results of this qualitative narrative research indicated that in taking care of their health, these Brazilian immigrants often relied on a combination of personal and collective transnational resources. They engaged in a variety of pre-migration and transnational health practices and demonstrated a high degree of personal responsibility for their health, although they frequently delayed or postponed seeking formal health care. In responding to health and illness concerns, these immigrant women moved back and forth across informal and formal health care systems, crossing multiple national, cultural, and health care system borders. Their stories illustrated the transnational nature of personal, cultural, and political perspectives on health and health care and highlighted the layered complexities of immigrant women's health practices and resources.

跨国卫生资源、实践和观点:巴西移民妇女的叙述。
本文考察了巴西移民妇女叙事中的跨国卫生资源、实践和观点的代表。这种定性叙述研究的结果表明,在照顾自己的健康方面,这些巴西移民往往依赖个人和集体跨国资源的结合。他们从事各种移徙前和跨国保健做法,并对自己的健康表现出高度的个人责任,尽管他们经常推迟或推迟寻求正规保健。为了应对健康和疾病问题,这些移民妇女在非正式和正式的卫生保健系统之间来回移动,跨越多个国家、文化和卫生保健系统的边界。她们的故事说明了个人、文化和政治视角对健康和医疗保健的跨国性质,并突出了移民妇女健康实践和资源的多层次复杂性。
