In addition, conceptual integration was that ‘Considering tomorrow is transforming the enabling-limiting values’.
Conclusion:Health professionals need to know North Korean refugees’ psychological difficulties, expectations of treatment, help seeking behavior, and expectations from mainstream culture.
