This prospective intervention study evaluates whether health education and basic body awareness training reduces health care consumption and improves movement quality among refugees in Sweden.
Migration is well known to be stressful and to have a negative impact on Health. Multidisciplinary health-promoting group interventions have significantly improved self-rated health. Further, symptom improvement was shown after implementation of physical activity in form of basic body awareness training. In this study a multimodal team consisted of a physiotherapist, nurse, psychologist, dietician, and physician held sessions of three hours weekly for a period of nine weeks. The sessions started with basic body awareness training, followed by theme discussions on symptoms and health strategies. A total of 54 participants completed the intervention. Health care consumption and movement quality were measured before and after the intervention.
