Effect of migration on lung diseases

Öz

Compared to the general population, immigrants may be more vulnerable to adverse health outcomes due to their complex social, economic, cultural and physical environmental histories. Immigrants retain some of the risk profiles typical for their region of origin, while changing physical and socio-cultural environments in host countries bring about a gradual change in disease patterns. In many countries, most immigrants work in jobs that pose serious environmental and occupational risks and adversely affect lung health, such as mining, construction and manufacturing jobs. In recent years, significant changes in the industrial structure of many immigration countries have changed their exposure to occupational respiratory hazards and therefore increased the burden of occupational respiratory diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic has been an experience that will go down in history with its social determinants affecting lung health problems, and immigrants were most affected in this process. Unaffordable healthcare continues to be a major barrier for many migrants. Lung health problems can be solved by ensuring that immigrants have access to all services, especially protective services, as well as improving their living conditions.

GÖÇÜN AKCİĞER HASTALIKLARI ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ

Öz

Genel nüfusla karşılaştırıldığında, göçmenler karmaşık sosyal, ekonomik, kültürel ve fiziksel çevresel geçmişleri nedeniyle olumsuz sağlık sonuçlarına karşı daha savunmasız olabilir. Göçmenler, ev sahibi ülkelerdeki değişen fiziksel ve sosyo-kültürel ortamlar, hastalık modellerinde kademeli bir değişimi beraberinde getirirken, menşe bölgeleri için tipik olan risk profillerinin bir kısmını korurlar. Pek çok ülkede göçmenlerin çoğu, ciddi çevresel ve mesleki riskler oluşturan, akciğer sağlığını olumsuz etkileyen madencilik, inşaat ve imalat işleri gibi işlerde çalışmaktadır. Son yıllarda, pek çok göç alan ülkenin endüstriyel yapısındaki önemli değişiklikler, mesleki solunum tehlikelerine maruz kalma durumlarını değiştirmiş ve bu nedenle mesleki solunum yolu hastalıklarının yükünü artırmıştır. COVID-19 pandemisi, akciğer sağlık sorunlarını etkileyen sosyal belirleyicilerinin belirgin yaşandığı tarihe geçecek bir deneyim olmuştur, bu süreçte de en fazla göçmenler etkilenmiştir. Karşılanamaz sağlık hizmetleri birçok göçmen için önemli bir engel olmaya devam etmektedir. Göçmenlerin başta koruyucu hizmetler olmak üzere tüm hizmetlere erişiminin sağlanması yanı sıra yaşam koşullarının da iyileştirilmesi ile akciğer sağlığı sorunları çözülebilir.
