We conducted a case study to assess 1) physical and mental changes; 2) self-assessments of symptoms; 3) coping strategies; and 4) adaptation to physical and mental changes by semi-structured interview survey among Vietnamese female migrant workers working in Japan under the Technical Intern Training Program. We found they experienced female-specific physical changes, and some interns' symptoms worsened because they did not consult anyone about their symptoms. We propose increasing opportunities to learn about possible physical and mental changes caused by migration and to improve health literacy, including prevention, coping, help-seeking, and consultations about health concerns among female technical interns.
我们进行了一项案例研究，通过半结构化访谈调查，评估了在日本技术实习生培训计划下工作的越南女性移民工人的：1）身心变化；2）症状自评；3）应对策略；以及 4）对身心变化的适应情况。我们发现，她们经历了女性特有的身体变化，一些实习生的症状恶化了，因为她们没有就自己的症状咨询任何人。我们建议增加了解因移民可能导致的身心变化的机会，并提高健康素养，包括预防、应对、寻求帮助以及对女性技术实习生健康问题的咨询。
