RESTREPO V, Ofelia. Immigration and etnosalud: Possibility of a differential model of health. Rev. Fac. Nac. Salud Pública [online]. 2009, vol.27, n.1, pp.10-15. ISSN 0120-386X.
Spain is a host of Latin American immigrants; the most prominent in number are ecuadorians, colombians, argentines and bolivians. At present, by their very nature, causes and effects, human migrations are considered as a phenomenon of social catastrophe and public health problem. It is a fact that disturbs the balance of physical, psychological, emotional, social, cultural and ecological people. In this sense the host countries should raise differential models and comprehensive health care and responsive to the needs and articulate the various skills and knowledge of medicine (Western-traditional). This communication presents some results of the survey conducted for this purpose, through the Participatory Action Research and development of a diagnostic Etnosalud. The results are: conceptual changes, values and meaning in the categories of person-family-community, health-disease, time-space, body-mind-spirit in the identity, rootedness, a sense of belonging and the epidemiological profile of immigrant.
