Abstract

Fragmented health systems can lead to over-, under-, or misuse of services. Specific challenges arise for newly arrived population groups, such as refugees, who encounter barriers to health services. These include legal restrictions and language discordance with service providers, that further exacerbate these issues. Although nurses can play an important role in improving the response of the health system, little is known about their scope of practice and their role in caring for refugees in primary healthcare contexts.
