Resum:
Study on the health needs of the Maghrebi people living in Catalonia based on the Cultural Safety concept and the postcolonial feminist theory. Mixed method design. Descriptive and interpretative purposes. The health status of Maghrebi nationals established in Catalonia and the social determinants of health that affect them are described through the Catalonia Health Survey 2006. The state of these two parameters between Catalan and North African people are also compared. With a qualitative design, the Maghrebi people’s experience of relationship with institutions and health care professionals was studied with interviews and focus groups of users and intercultural health mediators for the North African group. The elements and relationships that make up the experience were also identified, with the aim to recognize areas of improvement and to understand the mechanisms involved in the generation of the difficulties encountered. Suggestions for improvement aimed to compensate the deficits found are inferred.
