背景体力劳动工作发生在可能影响皮肤相关生活质量（SRQOL）的环境中。目的本文的目的是(1)记录SRQOL的维度，(2)检查其与皮肤症状的关系，以及(3)确定拉丁裔体力劳动者SRQOL的预测因素。方法对733名拉丁裔体力劳动者进行人口调查，获取他们前一年的皮肤生活质量指数（DLQI）和皮肤症状。结果三分之二的工人从事生产。报告前一年皮肤症状的比例为23%。23%的人报告SRQOL受损。在多变量分析中，SRQOL的降低与年龄、职业、儿童土著语言使用和前一年皮肤症状的经历有关。结论尽管某些移民职业人群的SRQOL总体较高，但其SRQOL水平有所降低。这些农村移民人口在获得皮肤科护理方面面临重大障碍；需要努力提高他们的SRQOL。点。中华医学杂志，2014,37(7):559 - 564。©2013 Wiley期刊公司
BackgroundManual labor employment occurs in environments with exposures likely to impact skin‐related quality of life (SRQOL).ObjectivesThe objectives of this paper are to (1) document the dimensions of SRQOL, (2) examine its association with skin symptoms, and (3) identify the predictors of SRQOL in Latino manual workers.MethodsA population‐based survey of 733 Latino manual workers obtained Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and skin symptoms in the prior year.ResultsTwo‐thirds of workers were employed in production. Skin symptoms in prior year were reported by 23%. Impaired SRQOL was reported by 23%. In multivariate analyses, reduced SRQOL was associated with age, occupation, childhood indigenous language use, and experience of skin symptoms in the prior year.ConclusionsDespite overall high SRQOL exposures in some immigrant occupational groups produce reduce SRQOL. This rural, immigrant population faces significant obstacles to obtaining dermatological care; efforts are needed to improve their SRQOL. Am. J. Ind.
