Abstract

Introduction: The challenges faced by male migrant workers during the pandemic have not been fully understood. This study aimed to explore the experiences of male Indonesian migrant workers during the COVID-19 pandemic in Taiwan.

Methodology: This study used an interpretive phenomenological design. Twenty male Indonesian migrant workers in southern Taiwan were individually interviewed. Data were analyzed using reflective thematic analysis.

Results: The migrant workers had conflicting emotions during the pandemic, faced challenges during self-quarantine, lived on board ships, and experienced restrictions on social and religious activities. The workers prioritized maintaining their health to ensure that they would not be easily infected while working. COVID-19 vaccines were made available to migrant workers in Taiwan. The workers had many hopes that they would achieve a better and more prosperous life by working in Taiwan than in their home country.

Discussion: Although the 3-year COVID-19 period was difficult for Indonesian migrant workers in Taiwan, Taiwan's policies provided hope for them to endure the pandemic. The results have implications for Taiwan's health care system, labor development, and transcultural health care.

印度尼西亚男性移民工人在台湾 COVID-19 大流行至大流行后期间的经历：现象学研究。

导言：男性移工在大流行期间所面临的挑战尚未得到充分了解。本研究旨在探讨印尼男性移工在台湾 COVID-19 大流行期间的经历：本研究采用解释现象学设计。研究方法：本研究采用解释现象学设计，对 20 名在台湾南部工作的印尼男性移民工人进行了个别访谈。采用反思性主题分析法对数据进行分析：结果：移居工人在疫情期间情绪矛盾，在自我隔离期间面临挑战，住在船上，社会和宗教活动受到限制。工人们优先考虑保持健康，以确保他们在工作时不易受到感染。在台湾的外来务工人员可以接种 COVID-19 疫苗。工人们对在台湾工作会比在家乡过上更好、更富裕的生活抱有很多希望：讨论：虽然在台湾的印尼外劳在 COVID-19 的 3 年期间处境艰难，但台湾的政策为他们提供了忍受疫情的希望。研究结果对台湾的医疗保健系统、劳动力发展和跨文化医疗保健具有借鉴意义。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
