“…A major focus of current nursing literature addresses health-illness issues of immigrants and refugees, including quality of life ( 8 ) , mental health ( 9 , 10 ) , pregnancy and birth ( 8 ) , and health care within the scope of Primary Care ( 11 ) , of emergencies ( 12 ) , and hospitals ( 9 ) . Such studies have adopted different theoretical-methodological approaches, such as exploratory ( 8 ) , cross-sectional ( 13 ) , and descriptive ( 9 , 10 ) designs, and qualitative ( 3 , 9 , 12 ) , quantitative ( 10 – 13 ) , and mixed methods ( 8 , 11 ) approaches. Nevertheless, for decades there have been a series of challenges (especially for novice researchers) associated with research on the topic of immigrant and refugee’s health ( 14 ) , without, however, making an in-depth discussion about the methodological and pragmatic perspectives regarding the best strategies to promote research and enhance the current nursing scientific production in the field of migration studies.…”
