Its aim is to identify awareness of the types of non-care (lack of care)/violence that occur at hospital units. The methodology is qualitative and we have interviewed 29 clients. We have established four main categories: lack of attention, disrespect, discomfort, and irresponsibility. The results indicate that the lack of care/violence is a Power Problem related to disrespect, prejudice and/or discrimination due to a person's social/sexual condition. It is characterized by rudeness, impoliteness, arrogance, sexual harassment, contempt, and indifference on the part of healthcare professionals. The lack of care/ violence, as an Asymmetric Problem, is characterized by a behavioral attitude of power and by the lack of a horizontal dialogic communication. Lack of attention, interest and will, and discomfort have been reported. We concluded that the lack of care/violence practices occur in the everyday of the interrelations of the care-taking process between client and health professionals.

This is the reason why both the detection of conflict between users and professionals and the ways to face and reduce these conflicts has been and is one of the main fields of study in this population.

The health of refugee women after settlement in a new country, can be adversely or positively affected by individual, interpersonal, community, and organizational factors. While much of the previous literature highlights these factors individually, there is a lack of comprehensive synthesis regarding how the factors interact to influence the health of refugee women. We conducted a thematic analysis in our literature review to elucidate how providers can work with refugee women to prevent adverse health outcomes and intervene at multiple levels to improve their health outcomes after resettlement.
