从历史上看,中国移民到美国的人都在餐馆工作以养家糊口。与这一人群在餐馆工作相关的危害和风险在文献中没有得到充分的描述。这项民族志研究采用了访谈,参与者观察,并与来自中国大陆,香港和台湾的18名移民进行后续焦点会议,以确定他们面临的潜在物理,生物,环境机械,化学和心理社会危害。参与者最常提到的是心理社会危害;数据中没有确定生物危害。实践和研究的影响,解决这一人群的健康差距进行了讨论。
Historically, Chinese immigrants to the United States have worked in restaurants to support their families. Hazards and risks associated with this population's work in restaurants are underrepresented in the literature. This ethnographic study used interviews, participant-observations, and follow-up focus sessions with 18 immigrants from China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan to identify potential physical, biological, enviromechanical, chemical, and psychosocial hazards that they face. Psychosocial hazards were most often mentioned by the participants; biological hazards were not identified in the data. Practice and research implications for addressing health disparities in this population are discussed.
