Résumé
Minority groups and immigrants encounter complex issues when attempting to access healthcare. This study examines factors affecting access to healthcare by a group of individuals in Israel who decided to leave their Haredi Jewish communities. We conducted 23 semi-structured interviews with individuals disaffiliating from Haredi communities in Israel in order to identify hurdles encountered during the process of seeking healthcare. We focused on specific steps in this process, including recognizing the need for help, deciding to actually turn to the health system, interaction with the system, and behavior after referring to the health system. We identified approximately 20 factors which can be either barriers or catalysts affecting healthcare access at the various stages. These were then traced to religious upbringing, hurdles of sociocultural transition, and unique characteristics of individuals reshaping their lives. The findings can be instrumental in designing culturally adapted health programs for individuals leaving the Haredi community. Moreover, the methodology that we are proposing can serve other investigations studying access to healthcare among various groups undergoing sociocultural transitions.
