我们探讨了在非洲难民妇女中促进健康的概念和预防性保健服务的经验。我们询问了34名重新安置的索马里难民妇女，了解她们对美国健康促进和共同预防性保健服务的看法和经历。访谈录音，转录，并分析使用接地理论的方法。主要主题是良好卫生的重要性、充足的食物和水源、定期获得保健、精神、传统习俗和良好的家庭功能。所有参与者都熟悉免疫接种和例行体检的程序和理由；很少有人了解癌症筛查服务。
We explored conceptualizations of health promotion and experiences with preventive health services among African refugee women. We asked 34 resettled Somali refugee women about their beliefs and experiences regarding health promotion and common preventive health care services in the United States. Interviews were audiotaped, transcribed, and analyzed using a grounded theory approach. Key themes were the importance of good hygiene, an adequate source of food and water, access to a regular source of health care, spirituality, traditional practices, and functioning well at home. All participants were familiar with the process and rationale for immunizations and routine medical examinations; few understood cancer screening services.
