This review explores the mental health and well-being challenges faced by refugee women involved in sex work, identifying five key themes: fear, mental health, social well-being, economic stability, and spiritual struggles. Findings highlight the need for interprofessional collaboration in creating supportive policies, programs, and interventions tailored to these women’s unique needs.
This concept analysis defines transnational healthcare as the practice of individuals seeking healthcare from their country of origin while living abroad. Using Walker and Avant’s framework, researchers reviewed literature to outline attributes, case examples, and implications.
