Rural-to-urban female migrant workers have a lower quality of life compared to the general population. Improving these conditions remains highly challenging. This paper reports the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of the female migrant workers in an educational project.
In this before-and-after study, a community-based health education intervention was developed to improve female migrant workers' HRQoL and job satisfaction. A factory was selected as the location to implement the trial, using a before-and-after design. The education intervention included distribution and free access to study materials, monthly lectures, and counseling. The primary endpoint was HRQoL, and gynecological disease and job satisfaction were secondary endpoints. We assessed HRQoL at baseline and at 6-month follow-up using the Health Survey Short Form (SF-36).
Compared to the baseline assessment, the participants at the 6-month survey reported higher General Health scores (standardized-β coefficients (Betas) of β = 0.056; P <0.001), Vitality scores (β = 0.066; P <0.001), Mental Health scores (β = 0.062; P <0.001), mental component summary scores (β = 0.040; P <0.001), and job satisfaction (Odds Ratio [OR] 2.104, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.837-2.408; P <0.01).
A community-based educational intervention, targeted at female migrant workers, appears effective in improving HRQoL and job satisfaction.
与一般人群相比，农村到城市的女性农民工生活质量较低。改善这些状况仍然极具挑战性。本文报告了一个教育项目中女性农民工的健康相关生活质量（HRQoL）。
在这项前后对照研究中，开发了一项基于社区的健康教育干预措施，以提高女性农民工的 HRQoL 和工作满意度。选择一家工厂作为实施试验的地点，采用前后对照设计。教育干预包括分发和免费获取学习材料、每月讲座和咨询。主要终点是 HRQoL，次要终点是妇科疾病和工作满意度。我们使用健康调查简表（SF-36）在基线和 6 个月随访时评估 HRQoL。
与基线评估相比，在 6 个月调查时，参与者的总体健康评分（标准化β系数（Betas）β=0.056；P<0.001）、活力评分（β=0.066；P<0.001）、心理健康评分（β=0.062；P<0.001）、心理成分综合评分（β=0.040；P<0.001）和工作满意度（比值比[OR]2.104，95%置信区间[CI]1.837-2.408；P<0.01）更高。
针对女性农民工的基于社区的教育干预似乎有效，可以提高 HRQoL 和工作满意度。
