Sammanfattning
Due to the European economic crisis, EU migrants in Sweden have grown in
number. EU migrants constitute a risk group for poor health due to unemployment
and/or homelessness. Our aim was to identify the self-perceived psychological
and reproductive health and the access to health care amongst female
EU migrants in Stockholm. Eleven semi-structured interviews were conducted,
recorded, transcribed and analysed using qualitative content analysis. The theme
"Survival at the price of poor health" emerged. Gynaecological problems
were common but not always a cause of suffering. Few could relate to the
concept of mental illness. Many felt stressed about their social and economic
vulnerability. A need for health care was identified but not fully met because of
lack of the European health insurance card.
