The present descriptive study seeks to explore the differences in terms of psychosocial work characteristics and health & well-being indicators among Danes, Western and Non-western immigrants working in the elderly care sector; and to identify differences in the association patterns between these psychosocial work characteristics and health & well-being across these three groups. The study was based on a large-scale survey of the elderly care sector in Denmark with 78% response rate. Results show that Non-western immigrants had more depression symptoms, poorer quality of sleep and more client-related burnout than their Western immigrants and Danish colleagues. All in all, the associations between psychosocial work characteristics and health and well-being were much stronger among Danes than among immigrant workers and particularly weak among Non-western immigrants.
本描述性研究旨在探讨在丹麦、西方和非西方移民中从事老年护理工作的人群之间，在社会心理工作特征和健康与福祉指标方面的差异；并确定这些社会心理工作特征与这三组人群的健康与福祉之间的关联模式存在差异。该研究基于丹麦老年护理行业的一项大规模调查，回应率为 78%。结果表明，与西方移民和丹麦同事相比，非西方移民的抑郁症状更多，睡眠质量更差，与客户相关的倦怠感更严重。总的来说，社会心理工作特征与健康和福祉之间的关联在丹麦人之间比在移民工人之间要强得多，而在非西方移民中则特别弱。
