Characteristics of hotel housekeeping work increase the risk for hypertension development. Little is known about the influences of such work on hypertension management.
For this qualitative study, 27 Haitian immigrant hotel housekeepers from Miami-Dade County, FL were interviewed. Interview transcripts were analyzed with the assistance of the Atlas.ti software for code and theme identification.
Influences of hotel housekeeping work on hypertension management arose both at the individual and system levels. Factors at the individual level included co-worker dynamics and maintenance of transmigrant life. Factors at the system level included supervisory support, workload, work pace, and work hiring practices. No positive influences were reported for workload and hiring practices.
Workplace interventions may be beneficial for effective hypertension management among hotel housekeepers. These work influences must be considered when determining effective methods for hypertension management among hotel housekeepers.
酒店客房清洁工作的特点增加了患高血压的风险。关于此类工作对高血压管理的影响知之甚少。
在这项定性研究中,对来自佛罗里达州迈阿密 - 戴德县的27名海地移民酒店客房清洁工进行了访谈。访谈记录在Atlas.ti软件的协助下进行分析,以识别代码和主题。
酒店客房清洁工作对高血压管理的影响在个人和系统层面均有出现。个人层面的因素包括同事关系和移民生活的维持。系统层面的因素包括监督支持、工作量、工作节奏和招聘做法。未报告工作量和招聘做法有积极影响。
工作场所干预可能有助于酒店客房清洁工有效管理高血压。在确定酒店客房清洁工高血压管理的有效方法时,必须考虑这些工作影响因素。
