在美国，大约一半的女佣和家政清洁工是拉丁美洲人或西班牙裔，而绝大多数是妇女（88.3%）。这些大部分是移民，服务不足的劳动力面临着复杂的因素，可能导致不利的健康结果。为了了解相关的障碍和挑战，这种混合方法的研究探讨了环境健康需求的异质组的拉丁美洲人在新泽西（NJ）谁清洁职业，并包括3个焦点小组（N = 15）与横断面调查（N = 9），都在西班牙语进行。参与者是从新泽西州哈肯萨克的社区英语作为第二语言课程中招募的。焦点小组录音分析包括描述性和体内编码，然后是归纳编码，以探索主题分析。使用描述性统计对调查答复进行了评价。根据调查结果，这一人群的环境健康需求包括肌肉酸痛、背部问题、哮喘、其他呼吸道问题、偏头痛或头痛以及皮肤问题（皮疹等）。在小组讨论中，遗传学、食物和化学品暴露在癌症病因学中的作用引起了极大的兴趣，并探讨了有关该主题的各种观点。重点小组讨论和调查答复都表明，这一群体还面临着各种障碍，包括缺乏培训、接触化学品和个人防护设备不足。个人家庭清洁实践中的日常环境暴露加剧了这些障碍。有必要制定文化和语言上适当的干预措施，以更好地保护保持家庭、企业和学校清洁的基本职业清洁工的健康。
In the U.S., approximately half of maids and housekeeping cleaners are Latino or Hispanic, while the vast majority are women (88.3%). This largely immigrant, underserved workforce faces complex factors, which may contribute to adverse health outcomes. To understand relevant barriers and challenges, this mixed-methods study explored the environmental health needs of a heterogeneous group of Latinas in New Jersey (NJ) who clean occupationally, and consisted of 3 focus groups (N = 15) with a cross-sectional survey (N = 9), both conducted in Spanish. Participants were recruited from community-based English as a Second Language classes in Hackensack, NJ. Analysis of focus group audio recordings included descriptive and in vivo coding followed by inductive coding to explore thematic analysis. The survey responses were evaluated using descriptive statistics. As per the survey results, the environmental health needs of this population include sore muscles, back problems, asthma, other respiratory issues, migraine or headache, and skin issues (rash, etc.). In the group discussions, the roles of genetics, food, and chemical exposures in cancer etiology were of great interest and a variety of opinions on the topic were explored. Both the focus group discussions and survey responses suggested that this population also faces barriers including lack of training, chemical exposures and inadequate personal protective equipment (PPE). These barriers are compounded by daily environmental exposures from personal home cleaning practices. The development of culturally- and linguistically-appropriate interventions are warranted to better protect the health of essential occupational cleaners who keep homes, businesses and schools clean.
