Abordaje del cuidado de salud al migrante: revisión narrativa

Abstract

Abstract: Introduction: The health care approach to migrants is essential to guarantee their well-being and equity in medical care. Objective: Investigate the approach to health care for migrants through a narrative review. Methodology: A narrative review was carried out following the PRISMA model to examine the approach to health care for migrants. Five years (2019-2023) were considered, and documents in English and Spanish were prioritized. The databases used were Google Scholar, PubMed, and Virtual Health Library (BVS), and 16 complete texts were obtained as the final sample. Results: Three main categories were identified: the provision of services and the barriers to access to health in migrants, the determinants of health in migrants, and the health status of migrants. Conclusions: The studies highlight the barriers to access to health care for migrants, and inequalities in health and employment. It is essential to address these inequities through inclusive policies and improvements in health services, considering the well-being of migrant workers.
