Abstract

The aim of this study was to describe Swedish midwives' experiences of caring for immigrant women at antenatal care clinics.Five group interviews and one individual interview were conducted with 16 midwives working in the maternity care. The interviews were transcribed and analysed with latent content analysis.Three main categories emerged: 1) Be able to convey and receive information. Communication was influenced by the women's educational level and previous experiences. The interpreter's competence was of great importance, but also if the midwife was able to create a trusting relationship with the woman. 2) Experience other cultures. The midwife's duties and responsibilities differed from the woman's expectations of the visit. The woman's family was of great importance and influential. 3) Midwife's role and work situation. Midwives' working conditions were challenged and they developed strategies to cope with this; however, they desired support and time for reflection and processing.Communication difficulties were cultural and linguistic in nature, and required extra care. This can be achieved if the midwife has time, but also support in managing cultural differences. In the future, new communication tools and ways of communicating must be developed.
