Quality of life in Latin American immigrant caregivers in Spain. Gac Sanit. 2015 Mar;29(2):123-6.

Methods: We used the SF-36 to measure perceived quality of life in 517 women residing in five Spanish regions: the Balearic Islands, Catalonia, the Basque Country, the Canary Islands, and Madrid. Several variables related to the socio-demographic profile and migration process were studied using Student's t test, ANOVA and linear regression models. Results: The participants scored very low on the dimensions of physical and emotional roles. The factors associated with lower quality of life scores within the group were working as a live-in caregiver, lack of contract, multitasking, irregular status, and younger age. Conclusions: The vulnerability of these women can be explained by poor working conditions and other factors related to the migratory process.spahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Quality of lifeImmigrantWorkCaregiversWomenSocial determinants of healthOccupational HealthYoung AdultSpainAdultHumansLatin AmericaMiddle AgedCross-Sectional StudiesQuality of LifeSelf Reportresearch articleAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International25444641292123-12610.1016/j.gaceta.2014.09.0091578-1283Gaceta Sanitariaopen accessCuidadoresFemeninoEstudios TransversalesHumanosPersona de Mediana EdadCalidad de VidaAdulto JovenAmérica LatinaSalud LaboralAdultoAutoinformeEmigrantes e InmigrantesEspaña2-s2.0-84925157127350615500008L616343646
