Gendered Migration and the Social Integration of Migrants in Slovenia
educated, employed and have already acquired citizenship of the Re-
public of Slovenia.
– Women migrants who came more recently, most often to join a hus-
band who works in Slovenia, with this process mainly entailing family
reunification.
– Experiences of healthcare workers and doctors with whom migrant
women have been in contact.
– The perceptions of students of the Faculty of Humanities and the Fac-
ulty of Health Sciences at the University of Primorska, and their opin-
ions on the integration of migrants into Slovenia, with an emphasis on
migrant women.
Experiences of Healthcare Workers with Whom Migrant Women
Have Been in Contact
This chapter looked at the perceptions of students of the Faculty of Human-
ities and the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Primorska, and
their views on the integration of migrants in Slovenia, with a stress on mi-
grant women.
The research was conducted in March 2018 using focus groups made up of
students of the Faculty of Humanities and the Faculty of Health Sciences at
the University of Primorska, especially students, who are also in direct contact
with migrants, healthcare workers and doctors with whom migrant women
have been in contact. Interviews in the focus groups were conducted at the
Faculty of Health Sciences in Izola on 9.3.2018 and 16.3.2018.
We concentrated on the focus groups by applying high-quality, non-
standardised, structured data-bundling techniques. The intention was to
gain an insight into the research problem so as to illuminate the actual situ-
ation in practice. It is also important that the focus group participants were
selected on the basis of specific characteristics, and that they were employed
in healthcare, which is the main research topic.
Focus Group Participation, and Relationship with Migrants
in Slovenia’s Healthcare System
Students from the Media Department at the Faculty of Humanities played the
role of interrogators and commentators. The focus group research involved 2
groups and 22 students, namely, 20 from the Faculty of Health Sciences, and 2
students from the Faculty of Humanities – Sabrina Husejnović and Emanuel
Lipovac. The Faculty of Health Sciences students were respondents due to
