Abstract

Göçmen sağlığı, son yıllardaki en önemli sağlık sorunlarından biri olmuştur. Bu nedenle, göçmen sağlığı birinci basamak sağlık hizmetleri ile desteklenmelidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, birinci basamak sağlık hizmetlerinde çalışan hemşirelerin, göçmen kadınların sağlığının korunması ve geliştirilmesindeki gücünü anlamaktır. Araştırma örneklemi 24 göçmen kadını içerdi. Uygulama 3 ay sürdü. Araştırma ekibi, kadınların evlerini haftada bir kez ziyaret etmiştir. Kadınların, Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi Davranışları Ölçeği (SYBDÖ) uygulaması öncesi toplam puan ortalamaları 95.45±15.31 olarak bulundu. Uygulama sonrası SYBDÖ toplam puanı 115.88±18.19 olarak bulundu. HLBS sonrası puan ortalaması, öncesi ile karşılaştırılınca, istatistiksel açıdan önemli ve daha yüksek bulundu (p<0.00). Kadınların yaşam kalitesinin bileşenleri olan zihinsel ve bedensel yönlerde de önemli olumlu gelişme gözlendi. Sonuç olarak, ev ziyaretleri ile verilen sağlık eğitimi ve yapılan müdahaleler, sağlıklı yaşam tarzı davranışını ve yaşam kalitesini olumlu yönde etkiledi.
