在台外籍勞工之健康促進生活型態、工作壓力與心理健康

The Health Promoting Lifestyle, Work Stress, and Mental Health of Foreign Laborers in Taiwan.

指導教授 : 黃淑玲

摘要


在台外籍勞工人數,至2013年已將近50萬名。由於外籍勞工來台勢必經歷適應的過程,然而國內對於他們的心理健康狀態的研究寥寥無幾。因此,外籍勞工的健康促進生活型態、工作壓力與心理健康狀況是本研究關注的主題。 本研究的研究對象包括菲律賓、印尼與泰國,共310名從事漁業及營造業之外籍勞工,以問卷調查法瞭解外籍勞工的背景資料、健康促進生活型態、工作壓力以及心理健康情形。研究期間為2011年7月至2012年5月。 研究發現,不同國籍之外籍勞工異質性相當大。整體而言,健康促進生活型態以菲籍勞工的執行狀況最佳,印尼籍勞工最差;各國皆以靈性發展和人際關係表現較好,而身體活動和健康責任則有待加強。相較於其他兩國,泰籍勞工的工作壓力最小,然而心理健康狀況最差;72.1%的印尼籍勞工感到高工作壓力,然而心理健康狀況尚可。印尼籍勞工的心理健康與健康促進生活型態呈正相關,與工作壓力呈負相關;泰籍勞工的心理健康與健康促進生活型態呈負相關,與工作壓力的相關未達顯著。心理健康的預測因子方面,「來台時間」和「工作壓力」最能有效預測印尼籍勞工的心理健康狀況;而「台籍友人」與「家鄉親友」的多寡最能有效預測泰籍勞工的心理健康狀況。 由於外籍勞工的工時長,且健康促進生活型態容易受工作環境的影響與限制。因此,本研究提出增加外籍勞工的健康責任意識、將身體活動娛樂化與生活化、加強壓力調適以及留意外籍勞工心理狀態等數項建議。

There are nearly 500,000 foreign labors working in Taiwan in 2013. However, we have known little about their mental health situation. Therefore, exploring the health promoting lifestyle, work stress, and mental health of foreign labors in Taiwan is the aim of this study. In total, 310 objects that come from Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand were recruited in this study. They worked in fishing and construction industry in Taiwan. We carried out a quantitative questionnaire survey to explore the background information, health promoting lifestyle, work stress, and mental health status in this population. This survey has been conducted during the period from July 2011 to May 2012. Results showed that many differences in terms of occupational data existed by nationality among foreign labors. In general, Filipino workers got the highest scores in health promoting lifestyle, whereas Indonesians workers got the lowest. Regardless of nationality, the foreign workers in Taiwan had better performance in spiritual growth and interpersonal support compared with physical activity and health responsibility. The workers from Thailand had the least work stress in the three emigrated countries, but their mental health status was the worst. In Indonesian workers, their mental health status was acceptable but 72.1% of workers felt high work stress. In Indonesians workers, mental health status had a significantly positive correlation with health promoting lifestyle and had a negative correlation with work stress. In Thai workers, mental health status had a significantly negative correlation with their health promoting lifestyle, but the correlation with work stress had not been supported. Regarding with the predictors of mental health, the time of staying in Taiwan and work stress were significant for Indonesians workers, and the amount of Taiwanese friends and the relatives and friends from hometown in Taiwan were significant for Thai workers. Based on the results in the study, the researcher proposed some suggestions to enhance foreign workers’ mental health, such as increasing awareness of health responsibility of foreign workers, integrating exercise and leisure into daily lifestyle, and so on.
