title: [Migrants in obstetrics--psychosomatic aspects in the context of acculturation].
abstract: Psychosomatic aspects and processes of acculturation in migrants that indicate transcultural change can be observed in obstetrics. Such Turkish men increasingly accompany their partners during birth in the delivery room. The analysis of perinatal data shows a harmonization for important perinatal quality parameters like infant and maternal mortality and the rate of preterm delivery between migrant and German women. However differences in the utilization and in the quality of care have been observed internationally (e. g. for migrants: later utilization of pregnancy checkups, higher rate of anaemia, less planned and higher rates of in-patient treatment of hyperemesis gravidarum). Specific risks of migration and psychosocial as well as the potentials of transcultural change more consideration.
