Migrant technical intern trainees who migrate to Japan have become essential to the Japanese labour force, especially in rural areas. Persons in charge of supervising organisations and training coordinators both support the trainees' health and daily lives during their stay in Japan. This support is significant for trainees as it helps them access and interact with Japanese society. This study explored the perspectives of persons in charge of female technical trainees regarding support for the latter's health and daily lives. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 persons in charge of female technical trainees, followed by a thematic analysis of the interview data to extract key themes. Four primary themes emerged: fostered beliefs and roles, cultural considerations and health support, language considerations, and concerns about female trainees in relationships. These considerations and support developed solely through experience of persons in charge of female trainees. Additionally, those in charge expressed concerns about trainees being involved in a relationship. However, no specific measures, such as providing female trainees with information, have been taken. Persons in charge of female technical intern trainees need to be provided opportunities to learn about cultural considerations and providing health support for their trainees. Furthermore, the cooperation of health professionals with supervising organisations and training facilities is essential to promote the healthy lives of technical intern trainees. These insights can contribute to the development of an integrated community-based approach to support the health and daily lives of female trainees.
移居到日本的技术实习培训生已成为日本劳动力的重要组成部分，尤其是在农村地区。监督机构负责人和培训协调员在培训生在日本期间都为他们的健康和日常生活提供支持。这种支持对培训生意义重大，因为它有助于他们融入日本社会并与日本社会互动。本研究探讨了女性技术培训生负责人在支持后者健康和日常生活方面的观点。对14名女性技术培训生负责人进行了半结构化访谈，随后对访谈数据进行了主题分析以提取关键主题。出现了四个主要主题：培养的信念和角色、文化考量与健康支持、语言考量以及对恋爱中女性培训生的担忧。这些考量和支持完全是通过女性培训生负责人的经验形成的。此外，负责人对培训生恋爱表示担忧。然而，尚未采取任何具体措施，例如向女性培训生提供信息。需要为女性技术实习培训生负责人提供机会，让他们了解文化考量并为其培训生提供健康支持。此外，卫生专业人员与监督机构和培训机构的合作对于促进技术实习培训生的健康生活至关重要。这些见解有助于制定一种基于社区的综合方法，以支持女性培训生的健康和日常生活。
