Description
Robina Singla and team give a 2026 qualitative study of primary care experiences of Indian immigrants who live with chronic illness in Australia. Indian migrants are the largest overseas born group in Australia to use primary care for chronic illness. Yet little literature reports their accounts there. An exploratory approach was used, with purposive sampling of eleven participants. Data came from semi structured interviews, transcribed verbatim and thematically analysed.
Three themes and six sub themes emerged from the work. The first, a mix of accounts, held positive and negative views on talk, compassion, care quality and visit length. The second covered facilitators to accessing services in Australia. It named gains from telehealth and from a shared cultural background with the general practitioner. The third theme rounded out barriers and needs. Lived accounts can guide culturally safe care.
