“…This need for language classes and social interaction is essential for forcibly displaced (migrants), as the transformation of cultural capital is difficult due to non-recognition of educational qualifications and professional qualifications in the host country. This non-recognition can be regarded as lost cultural capital as forcibly displaced (migrants) become functionally illiterate, regardless of their competencies in other languages (Bittlingmayer et al , 2010). Furthermore, the efforts of the participants in this study to regain their social status were hindered by the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in a barrier to building agency through their integration into the host country.…”

Purpose The unexpected and rapid outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic increased the vulnerability of forcibly displaced (migrant) women, who were a social group already at risk of health inequities and poorer health outcomes. This study aims to examine the health literacy of forcibly displaced (migrant) women during the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany using a multidimensional health literacy model as a framework. Design/methodology/approach A grounded theory methodology was implemented including interviews with 33 forcibly displaced (migrant) women from July to September 2021. An experienced female researcher interviewed all forcibly displaced (migrant) women, and apart from one telephone interview, all interviews were conducted in person. Findings Following data analysis, the category, “Use of health information in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic of forcibly displaced (migrant) women”, was identified as a core category. The findings provide valuable insight into the health literacy of forcibly displaced (migrant) women during the COVID-19 pandemic. Societal and environmental determinants, personal determinants and situational determinants were identified as factors impacting health literacy. Furthermore, health literacy was distinguished as competence to make informed decisions in the health domains “health care” and “disease prevention”. Originality/value Although previous research often focuses on the deficits of forcibly displaced (migrants), this study highlights the resources forcibly displaced (migrant) women use to deal with health-related difficulties, especially during a crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Importantly, such resources were available even if the study participants did not speak the language of the immigration country.

“…(…) Ponadto ich społeczne kontakty są ograniczone; unikają aktywności w czasie wolnym w gronie przyjaciół, podczas których mieliby styczność z językiem pisanym, jak np. w klubie kręglarskim" (s. 184) 1 . Tymczasem badania Leo wykazują, że analfabeci funkcjonalni częściej żyją w związkach małżeńskich niż osoby, które potrafią czytać i pisać, nieźle radzą sobie z załatwianiem codziennych spraw, nie mają większych kłopotów zdrowotnych, ich szanse na rynku pracy są jedynie o kilka punktów procentowych gorsze niż ogółu społeczeństwa (praca na pełnym etacie 40,8% do 47,0%, praca w niepełnym wymiarze godzin 16% do 19,4%).…”
