To improve care for vulnerable migrants, professionals should receive training in intercultural competence, stress management, and coping strategies to better navigate the complex challenges they face. Furthermore, systemic changes are necessary to alleviate the pressures on reception centres, such as streamlining bureaucratic processes and enhancing healthcare infrastructure, particularly in rural areas where resources are limited. By addressing these needs, we can improve the well\u2010being of both the professionals and the migrants they serve, fostering more effective support systems and better care outcomes. Additionally, fostering multidisciplinary collaboration and community engagement can contribute to more comprehensive and sustainable care models.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Protocol Registration<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Ethics Committee of the University of Rome Tor Vergata approved this study on 07\/07\/2021 (protocol registration number 160.21).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/nop2.70757","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,30]],"date-time":"2026-08-30T19:54:26Z","timestamp":1788119666000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Exploring Professional Experiences in Caring for Vulnerable Migrants in an Italian Rural Reception Centre: A Qualitative Study Using Multidimensional Textual Analysis\u2014Professional Experiences in Rural Migrant Care"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8204-0564","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariachiara","family":"Figura","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Maternal and Child Health Promotion, Internal Medicine &amp; Specialties of Excellence \u201cG.
