BACKGROUND: Sexuality and reproduction are two areas that have been dealt with
differently over time and across cultures. Immigrant women resident in Spain, are
largely of childbearing age and have some specific needs. Female immigrants have
specific beliefs and behaviors which may influence how they approach to the
Spanish sexual and reproductive health services. There is less visibility of the
health problems presented by women immigrants. This article aims to shed light on
the sexual and reproductive health beliefs and experiences of female immigrants
in a region of southern Spain. METHODS: A descriptive study design with
qualitative data collection and analysis methods were used. Data were collected
through face-to-face in-depth interviews using a semi- structured interview guide
that collected information on women's perception and beliefs about their sexual
and reproductive health. Thirteen interviews were conducted in 2013 with a
multi-ethnic sample of female immigrants, currently all are residing in
Andalusia. Interview topics included questions about awareness and beliefs about
sexuality and reproduction. Content analysis was used. RESULTS: We have found
that female immigrant brings along all of her beliefs, opinions, attitudes and
behaviors regarding sexuality, contraceptives, what is "correct" and what is not,
etc. The sexual behavior is conditioned by the prevailing social rules of country
of origin, and these rules act ambivalently. In general, knowledge of
contraceptive methods was big, but there were perceptions that reproductive
health was woman's domain, due to gender norms and traditional family planning
geared exclusively towards women. CONCLUSION: Results suggest that women's
behavior is influenced by the precepts of their origin societies. Therefore,
sexual and reproductive health processes should be adapted and incorporated into
our society, with special attention being paid to the immigrant population.
