拉丁美洲日工忍受许多困难，因为他们努力适应作为一个移民社区在美国。本研究旨在确定日工报告的慢性压力的程度以及与压力相关的因素。共有725名拉丁裔日工接受了采访。据报道，最大的压力来源是与移民有关的问题，没有足够的钱来满足基本需求，没有储蓄，工作时间变差。在过去的12个月里，较高的慢性压力与无家可归（p <0.001）和艾滋病毒相关的危险行为（p <0.05）有关。此外，与最低收入水平的人相比，收入在5，000美元至10，000美元之间的受访者的慢性压力更高（p = 0.007），收入超过10，000美元的受访者的慢性压力更高（p <0.001）。与已婚者相比，有伴侣（p <0.05）或单身（p = 0.001）的慢性压力较低。解决日工所经历的压力是必要的，以防止潜在的负面健康和心理健康的后果在这一人群中。
Latino day laborers endure many hardships as they struggle to adjust as an immigrant community in the United States. This study sought to identify the extent of chronic stress reported by day laborers and the factors associated with stress. A total of 725 Latino day laborers were interviewed. The most reported sources of stress were having immigration-related problems, not having enough money to cover basic needs, having no savings, and having work hours change for the worse. Higher chronic stress was associated with homelessness (p < .001) and HIV-related risk behaviors in the previous 12 months (p < .05). In addition, chronic stress was found to be higher among respondents reporting incomes of US$5,000 to US$10,000 (p = .007) and still higher among respondents reporting incomes greater than US$10,000 (p < .001) compared with those in the lowest income level. Lower chronic stress was associated with having a partner (p < .05) or being single (p = .001) compared with being married. Addressing the stress experienced by day laborers is necessary to prevent potential negative health and mental health consequences among this population.
