Este artigo tem por objetivo investigar como o tema saúde de imigrantes haitianos vem sendo abordado em estudos empíricos qualitativos. Realizou-se revisão sistemática nas bases de dados PubMed, Scielo, Scopus e Web of Science, entre 2007 e 2019. Esta revisão orientou-se por princípios da revisão sistemática quantitativa, aplicados à pesquisa qualitativa. Os 17 artigos selecionados foram revisados criticamente e os dados relevantes extraídos e sintetizados utilizando-se preceitos da síntese temática. Os resultados apontam que percepções e saberes sobre saúde e doença estiveram presentes em todos os trabalhos. Os estudos incluídos demonstram motivos pelos quais os participantes não acessam serviços de saúde, no entanto, não exploram como ocorrem as trajetórias de cuidado. Recomenda-se que trabalhos futuros reconheçam a necessidade do diálogo intercultural, avançando no sentido de compreender a lógica e os significados que dão sustentação às representações socioculturais do cuidado à saúde.

“…Ho [14] similarly documented the impacts of China town on Chinese immigrant patients' enrollment in a therapy program in New York city in an ethnographic study. Ethnographic studies about other immigrant groups such as Latinos, Haitians, and Puerto Ricans also documented the influence of sociocultural context on the immigrants' health beliefs [15–17]. All these studies considered PO as a highly valued and unique research method to explore the sociocultural context in community health research.…”

Participant observation elicits unique observation data from both an insider's and an outsider's perspectives. Despite the growing tendency to adopt participant observation strategies in health care research regarding health-related beliefs and types of behavior, the use of participant observation in current research is mostly limited to structured clinical settings rather than community settings. In this paper, we describe how we use participant observation in a community health research study with Chinese-born immigrant women. We document discrepancies between these women's beliefs and types of behavior regarding health and health promotion. We further discuss the ethnical, time, and setting challenges in community health research using participant observation. Possible solutions are also discussed.

“…As in the current study, other studies conducted in Africa (South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique), Asia (Indonesia and Thailand), and in the US among ethnic minorities (e.g., African American and Hispanics), found that vaginal practices are widespread and a cultural tradition related to women's sexual and hygienic practices. 1,12,[21][22][23][24] Therefore, changing IVP involves extensive consideration of local norms and traditions, and additional studies of IVP will be needed in communities in which IVP are common. Information derived from such studies could then be used to provide a foundation to develop interventions focused on influencing IVP, which may ultimately play a key role in decreasing BV, STIs, and HIV.…”

Intravaginal practices (IVP) are the introduction of products inside the vagina for hygienic, health, or sexuality reasons. The influence of men and Alengizis, traditional marriage counselors for girls, in promoting IVP has not been explored. We conducted gender-concordant focus groups and key informant interviews with Alengizis. The responses were conducted grouped into three themes: (1) cultural norms, (2) types and reasons for IVP, and (3) health consequences. We found that IVP were used by all participants in our sample and were taught from generation to generation by friends, relatives, or Alengizis. The reasons for women to engage in IVP were hygienic, though men expect women to engage in IVP to enhance sexual pleasure. Approximately 40% of women are aware that IVP can facilitate genital infections, but felt they would not feel clean discontinuing IVP. All men were unaware of the vaginal damage caused by IVP, and were concerned about the loss of sexual pleasure if women discontinued IVP. Despite the health risks of IVP, IVP continue to be widespread in Zambia and an integral component of hygiene and sexuality. The frequency of IVP mandates exploration into methods to decrease or ameliorate their use as an essential component of HIV prevention.
