拉丁美洲日工是一个社会和经济边缘化的移民人口与职业伤害的高风险。这些工人面临着多重社会，心理和环境的困难，增加了他们的风险，为不利的健康结果。这些压力源如何相互作用并影响这一人群中的工伤仍不清楚。我们进行了一项探索性研究，327拉丁美洲日工谁完成了社区调查。我们开发了一个结构方程模型，使用横截面数据来探讨社会经济地位，情境和移民压力，抑郁症，工作风险暴露和职业伤害之间的关系。该模型揭示了一个统计学上显着的中介效应，从情境压力伤害通过工作风险暴露，以及一个显着的中介效应，从移民压力通过抑郁症伤害。这些初步研究结果表明，情境和移民相关的压力对拉丁美洲日工的心理健康和工作场所安全产生了不利影响，并最终增加了他们的职业伤害风险。
Latino day laborers are a socially and economically marginalized immigrant population with a high risk of occupational injury. These workers confront multiple social, psychological, and environmental hardships that increase their risk for adverse health outcomes. How these stressors interact and influencework-related injuries in this population remains unclear. We conducted an exploratory study with 327 Latino day laborers who completed a community survey. We developed a structural equation model, using cross-sectional data to explore the relationships among socioeconomic status, situational and immigration stress, depression, work risk exposure, and occupational injury. The model revealed a statistically significant mediated effect from situational stress to injury through work risk exposure as well as a significant mediated effect from immigration stress through depression to injury. These initial findings suggest that situational and immigration-related stress have a detrimental impact on Latino day laborers' mental health and workplace safety and, ultimately, increase their risk of occupational injury.
