Tracing Migration Health of Individuals Migrating in Childhood and Adolescence and Their Adaptation to New Cultural Environments A Qualitative Study

Öz

This study aimed to elucidate the multifaceted experiences of individuals who underwent migration during their childhood or adolescent years, examining the phases before, during, and after their relocation. This study aims to examine how adults who experienced migration during childhood retrospectively interpret the migration process. In the literature, studies that address these individuals' experiences from an adult perspective are limited. The present research aims to go beyond the short-term effects of migration and reveal its lifelong psychosocial consequences, thereby filling a critical gap in this field. The research employed a qualitative methodological design, utilizing semi-structured interviews as the primary data collection instrument. The gathered data were subjected to a rigorous analysis through both descriptive and content analysis techniques. The findings yielded a comprehensive framework of 9 central themes and 45 concomitant sub-themes. The identified themes encompassed the Lived Experience of Migration, Negotiating Cultural Values and Norms, Encounters with Cultural Conflict and Subsequent Adaptation, the Transformation of Cultural Identity, Sociocultural Integration, the Dynamics of Communication and Language Acquisition, Constraints in Accessing Healthcare Services, Physical, Psychological, and Social Health Dynamics, and Institutional and Informal Support Mechanisms. The analysis indicates that the migration process profoundly shaped the participants' experiences, serving as a pivotal determinant in their navigation of cultural conflicts and adaptation strategies. Furthermore, it was found to be a critical factor influencing fundamental aspects of resettlement, including communication efficacy, accessibility of health services, and the development of robust social support networks.
