在美国，1，163，000名女佣和家政清洁工中有88.3%是女性，其中大约一半是拉丁裔。拉丁美洲人在健康研究中的研究不足，代表性不足，特别是涉及清洁实践中的化学品暴露，缺乏职业培训，以及个人防护设备不足。本研究的目的是双重的：1）检查知识（通过培训经验），态度和行为的异质群体的拉丁裔谁清洁职业和2）评估他们的清洁做法在工作和家庭。这项混合方法研究包括两个阶段：1）三个焦点小组，以探索知识（通过培训经验），态度和行为有关的清洁做法（N = 15）和2）43个问题的横断面调查。焦点小组录音进行了分析，使用描述性和体内编码，然后归纳编码，探索主题分析。调查的统计分析评估了每项答复的平均数、频率和百分比。参与者（n = 9）为来自南美洲（n = 5）、墨西哥（n = 1）、萨尔瓦多（n = 1）和多米尼加共和国（n = 2）的女性（平均年龄= 48.78，SD = 6.72）。在美国居住的平均时间为18.78年，超过一半（55.6%）的人在清洁行业工作了10年或更长时间。三个焦点小组（n = 15）的调查结果包括，在清洁的培训往往发生在非正式的非常年轻的时候在家里。参与者报告说，清洁的任务是轮流和/或共享组。大多数人是在家打扫卫生的主要人员，这表明接触增加。手套和口罩是最常用的个人防护设备，但使用情况并不一致。对于购买自己产品的参与者，驱动因素包括价格，气味和功效。一些参与者使用雇主提供或偏好的产品。从事清洁工作的拉丁裔面临着一系列社会和健康障碍，包括缺乏安全和健康培训，个人防护设备不足和识字率低。为了解决这些问题，有必要制定干预措施，为这一关键人群提供培训和资源。
In the United States, 88.3% of all 1,163,000 maids and housekeeping cleaners are female, and approximately half of them Latinas. Latinas are understudied and underrepresented in health research, particularly involving chemical exposure in cleaning practices, lack of job training, and inadequate access to personal protective equipment. The purpose of this study is twofold: 1) to examine the knowledge (via training experiences), attitudes and behaviors of a heterogeneous group of Latinas who clean occupationally and 2) to assess their cleaning practices at work and at home. This mixed-method study consisted of two phases: 1) three focus groups to explore knowledge (via training experiences), attitudes, and behaviors regarding cleaning practices (N = 15) and 2) a 43-question cross-sectional survey. Focus group audio recordings were analyzed using descriptive and in vivo coding and then coded inductively to explore thematic analysis. Statistical analysis of the survey evaluated means, frequency and percentage for each of the responses. Participants (n = 9) were women (mean age = 48.78 and SD = 6.72) from South America (n = 5), Mexico (n = 1), El Salvador (n = 1) and Dominican Republic (n = 2). The mean length of time living in the US was 18.78 years and over half (55.6%) worked in the cleaning industry for 10 or more years. Findings from the three focus groups (n = 15) included that training in cleaning often occurred informally at a very young age at home. Participants reported cleaning in groups where tasks are rotated and/or shared. Most were the primary person cleaning at home, suggesting increased exposure. Gloves and masks were the most frequently used PPE, but use was not consistent. For participants who purchase their own products, driving factors included price, smell and efficacy. Some participants used products supplied or preferred by the employer. Latinas in cleaning occupations face a range of social and health barriers including lack of safety and health training, inadequate PPE and low literacy. To address these issues, the development of an intervention is warranted to provide training and resources for this critical population of essential workers.
