Item type:Publication, NUTRICIÓN, NIÑEZ Y MIGRACIÓN: DESAFÍOS PARA SU ABORDAJE DESDE UN ENFOQUE DE INTERCULTURALIDAD EN SALUD(Medwave Estudios Limitada, 2024-06-01); ; Alice BlukaczLa presencia de niños y niñas migrantes en Chile ha crecido numéricamente, especialmente de aquellos provenientes de América Latina y el Caribe. Hoy se calcula que en Chile un 10,4% de los niños entre 0-14 años son migrantes (CASEN 2020). Desde la determinación social de la salud, la bibliografía indica que la presencia de niñez migrante implica diversos desafíos en temas como inequidades en la afiliación a servicios, el acceso a programas de prevención y promoción de salud, así como mayor exposición a pobreza multidimensional y condiciones de vida desfavorables para su bienestar integral. Sin embargo, una de las dimensiones menos exploradas de estas inequidades se refiere a los temas nutricionales que a nivel internacional han sido identificados como prioritarios tanto por los efectos que la transición alimentaria tiene sobre los niños migrantes, como el registro de desnutrición en niños provenientes de países a alto riesgo de inseguridad alimentaria.</jats:p> Objetivos</jats:title> <jats:p>La propuesta pretende indagar en las percepciones de padres, madres y tutores migrantes así como de personal de atención primaria, sobre las necesidades nutricionales que enfrentan los niños durante su trayectoria migratoria (en país de origen, tránsito y destino) y los desafíos que enfrenta el sistema de salud para abordar las temáticas nutricionales desde un enfoque de interculturalidad</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Método</jats:title> <jats:p>Enmarcado en un proyecto cualitativo-etnográfico mayor se desarrollaron 10 entrevistas en profundidad a padres, madres y tutores de niños, niñas y adolescentes que pasaron por paso no habilitado en Chile entre los años 2019-2023, a 10 miembros de equipos de atención primaria encargados de atención directa a población migrantes, a 5 informantes clave, encargados de programas sociales y de salud dedicados a infancia y adolescencia y a 5 miembros de ONG’s dedicados al abordaje de temas migratorios, logrando un N=30.

Se destaca el resurgimiento de la desnutrición por déficit como problemática que afecta a población infanto-juvenil, las posibles consecuencias de la transición alimentaria debido al mayor acceso a alimentos ultraprocesados y la necesidad de incorporar el enfoque intercultural en los programas de atención dedicados a la nutrición de niños y niñas.</jats:p> </jats:sec>11 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Health conditions of migrant children and adolescents from Latin America and Caribe: A narrative review(2024); ; ; Andrea Ortega<jats:p>The presence of children and adolescents in migratory flows is growing in Latin America and the Caribbean. Little is known about migration's effects on these groups' health. This article aims to investigate the evidence available on the access and use of healthcare services by migrant children and adolescents in Latin America and the Caribbean. We seek to explore the role of social determinants of health at different levels in the health conditions of these groups. Also, to identify potential recommendations for healthcare systems and public policy to address them. For this purpose, a narrative review of 52 publications was carried out based on a search of scientific literature in the Web of Science and Google Scholar databases. Five relevant topics were identified: use of emergency care associated with lack of healthcare access, preventive services, and other social determinants of health; exposure to preventable infectious diseases; mental health; sexual and reproductive health; and vaccinations and dental health. We conclude that the evidence shows the need to address the inequities and disadvantages faced by migrant children from a perspective of social determinants of health and policies that consider health as a human right regardless of the migratory status of children and adolescents, as well as that of their parents or primary caregivers.</jats:p>14 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Barriers and facilitators to access sexual and reproductive health services among young migrants in Tarapacá, Chile: a qualitative study(2024); ; <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:sec> <jats:title>Background</jats:title> <jats:p>Chile has become a destination country for immigrants from Latin America, including youth. Guaranteeing access and use of sexual and reproductive health services for young migrants is crucial because of their overlapping experiences of transitioning to a new country and to adulthood. However, the existing evidence shows barriers to accessing sexual and reproductive healthcare among young migrant populations. In this context, the main objective of this article is to identify the barriers and facilitators that young migrants experience to access sexual and reproductive healthcare in the Tarapacá region of Chile.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Methods</jats:title> <jats:p>A qualitative study was conducted in the Tarapacá region of Chile. Semi-structured interviews with 25 young migrants from Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador, as well as 10 health workers, were carried out. The interviews were transcribed and thematically analysed. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Universidad del Desarrollo (#2019-22).</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Results</jats:title> <jats:p>Young migrants face barriers linked to structural shortcomings within the healthcare system, which may be similar to those faced by the local population. Barriers are also derived from reductionist sexual and reproductive health approaches, which prioritise the prevention of pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, and HIV, with a predominantly heteronormative focus. The prevailing narratives from the health system are those of risk and lack of control and self-care among young people, and they are exacerbated in the case of migrants. Young migrants, especially from the Caribbean, are stereotyped as over-sexualised and liberal in comparison to the local population and believed to be engaging in riskier sexual behaviours that should be kept under check. This may translate into experiences of discrimination and mistreatment when receiving care. Facilitators include good-quality information and community-level interventions.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title> <jats:p>This study shows a limited approach to the sexual and reproductive health of young migrants in Chile, severely hampering their reproductive and sexual rights. Policies and initiatives must work towards removing structural barriers, changing narratives, and empowering young migrants regarding their sexual and reproductive health.</jats:p> </jats:sec>Scopus© Citations 3 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Emergency preparedness and response sensitive of migrant populations in Chile: post-pandemic perspectives(2024); ; ; Edward Mezones-Holguín<jats:p>On August 31, 2023, the Chilean government ended the health alert for COVID-19. This milestone invites us to reflect on lessons learned in emergency preparedness and response regarding migrant populations in the country. In this context, three perspectives are presented. The first focuses on avoiding pointing to individual responsibility for non-compliance with prevention measures, as this approach ignores structural and historical inequities. Emergency recommendations should be constructed considering a collective approach and diverse sociocultural and political contexts. The second perspective calls for considering and addressing migration as a social determinant of health. During the pandemic, changes in the governance of migration around the world made migration processes more precarious, with risks to the physical and mental health of migrants, which needs better planning and evidence-based decision-making in future pandemics. The third perspective focuses on promoting intercultural health, as effective communication of contagion risks and preventive measures were hampered among migrant populations with diverse worldviews and interpretations of health and disease processes. Responding to the needs of historically marginalized communities requires establishing ways of life that respect diversity in narratives and everyday practices. Governments and health systems must incorporate migration into their emergency preparedness and response strategies, creating the conditions for optimal compliance.</jats:p>1
