“…The findings also support the notion that residents who become dependent choose to return to their home countries to seek professional help and support services. A study of Norwegian expatriates living in the Spanish provinces of Alicante and Málaga found that the migrants prefered to go back to Norway when their health status worsened (Helset, Lauvli and Sandlie 2004). Swedish residents also express their wish to remain in Spain only ‘as long as their health permits’ (Gustafson 2001).…”

The aims of this paper are to review the health status of British nationals living on the Costa Blanca in the Province of Alicante, Spain, and to examine their access to health-care services. A sample of 155 of those that spent over three months a year in the area was interviewed. The results for those aged 45 or more years have been compared with those of the Health Survey for England 2003, the British Household Panel Survey 2004, the National Health Survey for Spain 2003, and the Spanish Household Panel Survey 2000. British nationals resident on the Costa Blanca appear to have a similar health profile to the Spanish and the British populations, and score higher than Spaniards and the British home population on some indicators: they have, for example, fewer mobility problems and a more positive perception of their state of health. These findings are consistent with the 'healthy migrant hypothesis '. The Valencia Region Health Service provides health-care services to 62 per cent of this population. The total number of British residents' visits to a general practitioner is approximately the same as that of their Spanish neighbours. As for admissions to hospital, British residents on the Costa Blanca show trends similar to the population of the United Kingdom. The use of private health-care is relatively high, compared to the Spanish and the British populations.

“…Det er ikke lenger nødvendig å ta forbehold om endringer i dagsformen. Det blir enklere å ha et sosialt liv, og de har et dagligliv med venner, treff og aktivitet i organisasjoner, slik også andre nordmenn lever i Spania (Helset et al 2004, Sørby et al 2004.…”

“…I følge en NOVA rapport oppsøker revmatikere varmt klima på egenhånd i tillegg til organiserte tilbud, i håp om å bli bedre (Elstad, Grue og Eriksen 2005). Klima blir også beskrevet som en vesentlig årsak til at norske alders-og uførepensjonister har valgt å flytte fra Norge til Spania (Helset, Lauvli og Sandlie 2004, Sørby, Selbekk, Helland og Grue 2004.…”

The objective of this study is to illuminate the experience of Norwegian rheumatics illness during long-term residency in Spain. The method chosen is qualitative with a phenomenological approach. Twelve rheumatics comprise the sample group, eight women and four men, ages from 45 to 70. Data collection was performed by qualitative research interview. The data is analyzed using condensation, followed by a thematic approach, inspired by Giorgis phenomenological method. The essence of the Norwegian rheumatics experience is that they recovered control over everyday life. They experienced pain relief, reduced medication and increased personal activity. The study indicates that long-term stay in Spain can promote health for people suffering weather-sensitive rheumatism.

“…Det er et viktig spørsmål om mange av de som er på reisefot i eldre år vil komme tilbake til Norge dersom de får omfattende behov for hjelp. Dette spørsmålet gjelder både etnisk norske i utlandet (Helset et al 2004) og nordmenn fra etniske minoriteter. Hvor 'hjemme' er blir ikke enkelt og entydig, men vi vet at flere og flere innvandrere blir begavet i Norge (Døving 2005).…”
