​Objective: This study aimed to describe the experiences of

healthcare professionals providing women’s health services to

asylum-seeking women at hospitals.

Methods: A qualitative design was used in this study. The data

were collected from thirty-four healthcare professionals providing

women’s healthcare services to asylum-seeking women through

semi-structured, face-to-face, individual in-depth interviews. The

data were evaluated using Colaizzi’s seven-step analysis method in

the NVivo12 package program.

Results: Three themes were identified (1) challenges, (2) reflections,

and (3) needs. Healthcare professionals evaluated the process of

providing women’s healthcare services to asylum-seeking women

from a positive and negative point of view. They stated that they

should be supported personally, professionally, and as a health team

in improving this experience.

Conclusion: This study narrows the gap in the literature and

expands the scope of existing knowledge concerning the healthcare

professionals' experience about asylum-seeking women's health care.
