“…Incorporating a transnational lens into person-centred care may also be relevant. The literature on transnationalism and healthcare is limited and little is known about how best to address transnational ties in care (Rosemberg et al, 2016). It is clear however, that HCPs should at minimum, explore and ask about ties to family members and other forms of ties to their home countries.…”

“…It is clear however, that HCPs should at minimum, explore and ask about ties to family members and other forms of ties to their home countries. For example, HCPs could inquire about advice, health information and medicines that are received from family, community and HCPs back home (Rosemberg et al, 2016;Wang et Kwak, 2015). They should also ask about potential sources of stress associated with transnational ties, for example, sending money back home, or concern for family members living abroad.…”

“…Listening to patients' transnational concerns and stresses can help with building rapport while learning more about the advice, other health information, and maybe even other medical care, being received from abroad, can help ensure continuity of care, and help with reconciling any differences that there may be between the various sources of information and healthcare. Some research conducted with other immigrant groups with chronic illness in Canada suggest that transnational support can also contribute to maintaining and promoting physical and psychological health and encourage the immigrants to self-care (Rosemberg et al, 2016;Salma et Salami, 2020;Wang et Kwak, 2015). Therefore, health care providers may also consider encouraging patients to maintain the long-distance communication with family back home, particularly for those who are living alone and/or struggling with their illness Salma et Salami, 2020).…”

Background Self-care (i.e., the actions towards monitoring and managing chronic illness and maintaining health) is an essential aspect of chronic disease management. These experiences are shaped by culture and values, health literacy, support from others and access to care. We conducted a study to explore the chronic illness self-care experiences and various influencing factors among a minority immigrant group, Indonesians, living in Montreal, Canada. Methods We used a qualitative descriptive approach. Eight adult men and women living with various chronic illnesses were recruited. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews and thematically analyzed. Results Three broad themes were identified: What's helpful, Challenges and responses, and Expectations. What's helpful captured different sources of supports of that helped the participants manage and monitor their illness and feel well and healthy. Challenges and responses highlighted the key challenges that participants have faced while living with a chronic illness, and how they have adapted (or not) and responded to these. Expectations include participants' disappointments towards their own self-care and/or support from family, the community and healthcare professionals, and describes what participants wished was different about their situation. The multiple views and nuances of their experiences as well as the various influencing factors of pre- and post-migration were interwoven within the description of each theme. Conclusions The self-care experiences of Indonesians living in Montreal shaped by different sources that helpful, challenges they faced and their responses as well as their disappointments and wishes for their own self-care. Key messages The self-care experiences of Indonesians living in Montreal are vary and shaped by different factors and sources. Healthcare professionals should engage more and consider the helpful sources for them, their challenges and the responses, their disappointments and hopes shaping their self-care experiences.

“…We used a transnational feminist theoretical perspective with a critical ethnographic methodology. Transnationalism holds that immigrant life experiences are not contained within one geographic space; rather, emphasis is placed on the strong linkages immigrants maintain with their homelands, as well as how those linkages interact with present experiences (Horevitz, 2009;Rosemberg, Boutain, & Mohammed, 2016). The influences of temporal and spatial boundaries on social relations are also a key aspect of transnationalism.…”

Parent–Child Relationships Among African Immigrant Families in Canada

Objective To examine the factors that influence parent–child relationships in African immigrant families in Alberta, Canada. Background African immigrants are increasingly migrating to high‐income countries, including Canada, in search of a better life. These immigrants often face several challenges, including parenting their children in new sociocultural contexts. We present findings from a critical ethnographic study of parent–child relationships among African immigrants in Alberta, Canada. Method Informed by transnational feminist theory, we conducted interviews with 14 African immigrant community leaders, 31 African immigrant parents, and 12 service providers and policymakers. Results We found that conflicting cultural practices and value systems, shifting power relations, low socioeconomic status, and gender relations exert both beneficial and strenuous influences on parent–child relations. Conclusion The determinants of parenting practices and parent–child relationships include the intersecting influences of gender, social class, culture, and changing power relations across transnational spaces. Implications Our findings suggest several policy and practice implications. In particular, we suggest a need to attend to diverse determinants of child well‐being, including income, gender relations, culturally sensitive service delivery, and changing power relations across transnational spaces.

“…In the health field there is a growing interest in transnationalism and its relevance to health and care [ 35 , 36 ]. In mental health it has also been shown that an approach in care that acknowledges and addresses transnational ties may foster a positive identity and give meaning and coherence to migrant families’ experiences [ 37 , 38 ].…”

Background: Migrant families' transnational ties (i.e., connections to their countries of origin) may contribute to their hardships and/or may be a source of resiliency. A care approach that addresses these transnational ties may foster a positive identity and give coherence to experiences. We conducted an integrative review to determine what is known about transnational ties and the care of migrant families during pregnancy, postpartum and early childhood. Methods: We searched 15 databases to identify literature reporting on a health or social program, service, or care experience of migrant families during pregnancy up to age five in a Western country (i.e., Canada, US, Australia, New Zealand or a European country). Information regarding if and how the service/program/care considered transnational ties, and care-providers' perceptions of transnational ties, was extracted, analyzed and synthesized according to transnational 'ways of belonging' and 'ways of being'. Results: Over 34,000 records were screened; 69 articles were included. Care, programs and services examined included prenatal interventions (a mhealth app, courses, videos, and specialized antenatal care), doula support, maternity care, support groups, primary healthcare and psycho-social early intervention and early childhood programs. The results show that transnational ties in terms of 'ways of belonging' (cultural, religious and linguistic identity) are acknowledged and addressed in care, although important gaps remain. Regarding 'ways of being', including emotional, social, and economic ties with children and other family members, receipt of advice and support from family, and use of health services abroad, there is very little evidence that these are acknowledged and addressed by care-providers. Perceptions of 'ways of belonging' appear to be mixed, with some care-providers being open to and willing to adapt care to accommodate religious, cultural and linguistic differences, while others are not. How care-providers perceive the social, emotional and economic ties and/or the use of services back home, remains relatively unknown. Conclusion: Significant knowledge gaps remain regarding care-providers' perceptions of transnational 'ways of being' and whether and how they take them into account, which may affect their relationships with migrant families and/or the effectiveness of their interventions. Continued efforts are needed to ensure care is culturally safe for migrants.
