“…Likewise, the failure to assign the STP code in some regions is still a big issue [29]. Finally, several studies highlight how health access policies are insufficient unless accompanied by policies aimed at dismantling systemic racism in societies [31]. There is growing evidence that anti-migratory policies are associated with worse health outcomes in immigrant communities [32].…”

“…There is growing evidence that anti-migratory policies are associated with worse health outcomes in immigrant communities [32]. In fact, stereotypes and racism lead to isolation, feelings of rejection, lack of a sense of belonging, distrust in the NHS, and delayed access to care, especially in people with legal status, with worsening clinical status and consequently, higher costs [31]. In addition to these political-administrative aspects, language difficulties and cultural differences highlight how the issue of health promotion towards migrants must be addressed within a broader approach that includes social inclusion in the broadest sense of the term [7].…”

The aim of this research is to explore nurses’ experiences in caring for migrants, regular and non-regular, within outpatient clinics in Italy. Materials and Methods: Thirteen nurses have been interviewed through online semi-structured interviews, conducted with the support of a questionnaire, made by researchers, consisting of open-ended questions on legislative issues, cultural issues, and regarding best practices. Purposive sampling has been used, along with phone and email recruitment. The audio recordings of the interviews were verbatim transcribed, then examined. This study is a qualitative descriptive fundamental research project. Results: Interviewees highlight migrants’ difficulties in accessing care, critical points of legislation, transcultural skills crucial to nurses, and good practices. A total of 105 labels were developed and grouped into 23 categories under 7 themes (Italian legislation and migrants; structural difficulties in assistance; the influence of politics; the work of NGOs and associations; nursing care; winning strategies; and the role of the Family and Community Nurse). Conclusion: The research highlights how access to care for migrants is hindered by legislative, structural, and cultural barriers, with consequences on the NHS (improper accesses to the emergency room, increased workload, and economic expenditure). For the full realization of the right to health, as enshrined by Art. 32 of the Constitution, changes are needed with respect to regulations and professionals’ training.
