บทคัดย่อ/คำอธิบาย :

In this article we describe the health status of Thai migrant women in Australia. Women’s physical health, their use of health services, and adherence to preventive health behaviors are presented. The results are based on data from a descriptive study of 139 women living in Brisbane who completed a structured questionnaire. This information was supplemented with data from in-depth interviews with 17 of the women to gain additional information and insight into immigration, language, social support, and the use of health services. Although the majority of women reported being in good health and only a small percentage suffered from chronic diseases, inherent problems can influence their future health status. These include women’s low participation in preventive health programs, unhealthy life style and behavior, perceptions of health services, availability of social support during illness, and issues related to care from general practitioners. Women’s understanding of health education and information was influenced by their language skills. Language difficulties and the perceived high costs of medical care in Australia were contrasted with the lower cost and perceived efficiency and efficacy of Thai medical practitioners, and as a result some women delayed medical attention until home visits to Thailand.
