Immigration and population ageing represent circumstances with important sociocultural and economic repercussions.
A qualitative study using interpretative phenomenological analysis was conducted to understand the daily lives and the work of immigrant women dedicated to caring for older citizens. In-depth interviews and discussion groups were carried out in a group of 40 immigrant carers. Data were analysed via the constant comparative method.
Three qualitative themes emerged from the data: 'difficult lives', 'working in the home', and 'the vision of the other'. This study highlights the many difficulties encountered by this population. A sense of vulnerability was described while fulfilling their professional duties due to their migrant condition, experiences of gender inequality, and work status. An emotional connection is necessary to provide care, which is impossible in cases of discrimination.
Administrative regularisation is necessary to improve the quality of immigrant carers' working conditions.
移民和人口老龄化是具有重要社会文化和经济影响的情况。
采用解释性现象学分析进行定性研究,以了解致力于照顾老年人的移民妇女的日常生活和工作。对40名移民护理人员进行了深入访谈和讨论小组。通过持续比较法对数据进行分析。
数据中出现了三个定性主题:“艰难生活”、“在家工作”和“对他人的看法”。本研究突出了这一群体所面临的诸多困难。由于她们的移民身份、性别不平等经历和工作状况,她们在履行职业职责时感到脆弱。提供护理需要情感联系,而在歧视情况下这是不可能的。
行政正规化对于改善移民护理人员的工作条件质量是必要的。
