Acculturation, resilience, and healthcare trust in migrant populations: an equity perspective.
Article in Archives of public health = Archives belges de sante publique, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTrust in the doctor-patient relationship is crucial for treatment outcomes. Acculturation influences health literacy, attitudes toward medical authority, and communication preferences, while resilience may affect how trust develops. This study examines how acculturation and resilience interact to shape trust in physicians, informing culturally sensitive, patient-centered care.
methodsBetween October 2023 and January 2024, 375 patients were surveyed in a monocentric primary care study using an anonymous questionnaire on acculturation, resilience, trust in medical care and health-related perceptions.
resultsAmong migrants, 47.9% were born in Germany; 80.8% had lived in Germany > 20 years. Acculturation was predominantly German, higher in women (M = 3.77 vs. 3.46) and younger respondents (M = 3.38 in 18-39 years, M = 3.42 in 40-59 years, and M = 2.75 in ≥ 60 years).Trust in physicians was high overall, but lower in migrants (M = 2.94 vs. 3.03) and younger adults (M = 2.90 in participants aged 20-39 years vs. M = 3.25 in those aged ≥ 60 years). Resilience was almost even across gender (M = 3.63-3.64), slightly lower in migrants (M = 3.48 vs. 3.66), and increased with age (M = 3.55 in 20-39 years, M = 3.60 in 40-59 years, and M = 3.78 in ≥ 60 years). Logistic regression showed no predictive link between resilience and migration status (p = 0.913).
conclusionAcculturation proved to be a key factor influencing trust in doctors and mental stability, with women and younger patients showing higher levels of integration. Resilience also acted as a protective factor against acculturation stress and increased with age. Differences in trust indicate unequal access to culturally responsive care, highlighting the importance of linguistic integration and patient-centered communication.
trial registrationNot applicable, as this study was an observational, crosssectional survey without any interventional component and therefore did not meet criteria for trial registration.
