目的研究菲律宾移民在美国的时间长短对工作压力与健康状况之间的关系的影响。方法利用菲律宾裔美国人社区流行病学研究的数据，获得1381名菲律宾移民的横断面样本。负二项回归被用来检验在美国居住的年限和工作担忧之间的交互作用对自我报告的健康状况的数量。结果所有移民的工作担忧与健康状况呈正相关，无论他们在美国生活的时间长短。这种联系对新移民来说是最强烈的，但随着在美国停留时间的增加，这种联系的强度会减弱。结论研究结果表明，在菲律宾移民中，与工作相关的压力源与不利的健康结果相关，并且这种关系在新移民中最为强烈。在工作对其福祉的影响方面，新移民应被视为弱势群体。
Objectives We investigate how duration in the US impacts the relationship between job-related stress and health conditions among Filipino immigrants. Methods Using data from the Filipino American Community Epidemiologic Study, a cross-sectional sample of 1,381 immigrant Filipinos was obtained. Negative binomial regression was used to examine the interaction between years residing in the US and job concerns on number of self-reported health conditions. Results Job concern is positively associated with health conditions for all immigrants no matter what length of time they have spent in the US. This association is strongest for recent immigrants and the strength of the association weakened with increasing time spent in the US. Conclusions Findings suggest that job-related stressors are associated with adverse health outcomes among Filipino immigrants and that this relationship is strongest for newer immigrants. New immigrants should be recognized as a vulnerable group with regard to the impact of work on their well-being.
