Nursing care for migrants in a refugee camp Dobová - Slo

Abstract

The aim of the study was to map the range of the most frequent nursing diagnoses in migrants migrating through Slovenia to Austria and Germany. Data collection took place in the refugee camp in Dobová (Slovenia). We found out that the largest number of migrants suffered from acute pain, fatigue, hyperthermia, diarrhoea, impaired skin integrity, lack of sleep, impaired gait and reduced volume of body fluids. Frequent nursing diagnoses related to psychological problems were hopelessness and helplessness, resulting from difficult life situations.
