BACKGROUND
Immigrants comprise over 40% of the low-wage workforce. They are more likely to be employed in service industries, paid less, and experience more illness and injuries than their native counterparts.
DESIGN/OBJECTIVE: The aim of this cross-sectional pilot study was to explore the relationship between immigrant workers' stressors and health.
SAMPLE
Twenty-five female Mexican immigrant hotel workers.
MEASUREMENTS
Surveys and blood samples were analyzed and compared to national data. Descriptive statistics and linear regression were used for analysis.
RESULTS
Longer length of stay, older age at migration, and higher Demands of Immigration (DI) were significantly associated with more chronic conditions. Higher DI were significantly associated with more depressive symptoms. This is comparable to national data (n = 468) which shows a significant relationship between length of stay, Allostatic Load (AL), and chronic conditions (β = 0.14, p = .043; β = 0.13, p = .025).
CONCLUSIONS
Immigrant-specific factors affect individuals' health. More studies are needed to further explore the relationship between DI and health among foreign-born workers.
背景
移民占低薪劳动力的 40%以上。与他们的本地同行相比，他们更有可能从事服务业，收入更低，患病和受伤的几率更高。
设计/目的：本横断面试点研究的目的是探讨移民工人的压力源与健康之间的关系。
样本
25 名墨西哥裔女性移民酒店工人。
测量
对调查和血样进行了分析，并与全国数据进行了比较。采用描述性统计和线性回归进行分析。
结果
在留美时间更长、移民时年龄更大和移民要求（DI）更高的情况下，与更多的慢性疾病显著相关。较高的 DI 与更多的抑郁症状显著相关。这与全国数据（n=468）相类似，表明留美时间、全身适应不良负荷（AL）和慢性疾病之间存在显著关系（β=0.14，p=0.043；β=0.13，p=0.025）。
结论
移民特有的因素会影响个人的健康。需要进一步研究移民工人的 DI 与健康之间的关系。
