Seeking the aim – perspectives of asylum seekers, nurses, and authorities on the objectives of the asylum seekers’ initial health assessment: a qualitative study

This study provides valuable insights for developing a more effective assessment. Asylum seekers require comprehensive health assessment and details about their rights. To address these needs, it is crucial to update reception centre nurses' practices. Additionally, authorities responsible for planning and guiding services should refine their instructions concerning the information provided to asylum seekers and persons in vulnerable situations. The findings of this study can be used to enhance information provision and develop targeted training programs for nurses, as well as to evaluate the achievement of established aims.
