Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to systematically review the health-related research trends of foreign workers conducted in the last 10 years, and to identify the network between key words to propose future research directions and topics.
Methods: Literature was searched in RISS, DBPia, KISS, PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, and ProQuest literature databases using key words of “foreigner/migrant/immigrant worker”, “health”, “medical/care/service”, “stress”, and “life Quality of life”. Network analysis was performed using the R program (R-4.0.2, C Core Team, 2017).
Results: A total of 33 articles were selected for analysis, focusing on health and health promotion behaviors (16 studies), mental health (10 studies), and intervention studies (7 studies). The main key words with the most frequency were 'acculturation', 'acculturation stress', 'depression’, 'occupational stress' and 'work-related musculoskeletal disorder' followed.
Conclusion: Health policies and programs should be developed to reduce acculturation stress and improve mental health of foreign workers. It is necessary to diversify recruitment of the samples, research topics, and research methods in the further research targeting foreign workers.
