A majority of work immigrants from the Philippines came to Israel to fill positions involving personal and nursing care. Most of them were in Israel during the Second Lebanon War, the Cast Lead operation, and the Protective Edge Operation. These migrant care workers experienced these events no differently than did the Israeli population. The goal of this study was to examine the connections between the Philippine migrant care workers' exposure to the military operations and the levels of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), death anxiety, and burnout among them.
A random sample of 147 Philippine migrant care workers was recruited through four agencies that employ migrant care workers. Participants completed a self-report questionnaire.
Philippine migrant care workers reported high levels of PTSD, high levels of death anxiety, and low levels of burnout. Levels of exposure were positively associated with levels of PTSD, death anxiety, and negatively with burnout. A significant inverse relationship was found between interpersonal variables (self-esteem and sense of mastery) and the PTSD, death anxiety, and burnout levels reported by the participants.
大多数来自菲律宾的工作移民来到以色列从事涉及个人护理和护理工作的岗位。他们中的大多数人在第二次黎巴嫩战争、铸铅行动和保护边缘行动期间身处以色列。这些移民护理人员经历这些事件的方式与以色列民众并无不同。本研究的目的是调查菲律宾移民护理人员接触军事行动与他们的创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)、死亡焦虑和职业倦怠水平之间的联系。
通过四个雇佣移民护理人员的机构招募了147名菲律宾移民护理人员的随机样本。参与者完成了一份自我报告问卷。
菲律宾移民护理人员报告了高水平的PTSD、高水平的死亡焦虑和低水平的职业倦怠。接触程度与PTSD水平、死亡焦虑呈正相关,与职业倦怠呈负相关。在人际变量(自尊和掌控感)与参与者报告的PTSD、死亡焦虑和职业倦怠水平之间发现了显著的负相关关系。
