摘要

背景移民女工很容易受到暴力侵害。针对妇女的暴力是一个普遍存在的公共卫生问题,它侵犯了妇女的权利,并可能对妇女的生活质量(QoL)和心理健康产生不利影响。本研究旨在使用结构方程模型来调查针对缅甸移民女工的暴力行为对其生活质量和心理健康的影响。研究方法:本研究是一项横断面研究,通过多阶段抽样调查了泰国中部地区的 378 名缅甸移民女工。作者使用标准问卷通过面对面的结构化访谈收集数据,然后在考虑社会经济地位对暴力的影响的同时,研究了社会支持对暴力对其 QoL 和心理健康的影响。暴力对她们的生活质量有直接的负面影响,与心理健康问题有直接的正相关。社会支持对这些影响没有起到中介作用,但对质量生活有直接的积极影响,与心理健康问题有直接的消极关联。社会经济地位受到暴力的直接影响,并通过暴力对 QoL 和心理健康产生间接影响。我们强调迫切需要采取综合措施来提供社会支持机制和促进社会经济赋权。政府、非政府组织和社区之间的合作对于确保法律保护和安全的工作条件至关重要,同时还需要定期监测和评估,以衡量在预防暴力和促进这些妇女的生活质量和心理健康方面的有效性。

Violence Against Women and its Effects on Mental Health and Quality of Life: A Study of Myanmar Migrant Workers in Central Thailand

Background

Women migrant workers are vulnerable to violence. Violence against women is a pervasive public health problem, violates women's rights, and may adversely affect women's quality of life (QoL) and mental health. However, few studies have focused on this problem among migrant women workers from Myanmar.

Objective

This study aimed to use structural equation modeling to investigate the effect of violence against migrant women workers from Myanmar on their QoL and mental health.

Methods

This study was a cross-sectional study of 378 migrant women workers from Myanmar in Central Thailand, conducted by multistage sampling. The authors collected the data through a face-to-face structured interview using standard questionnaires and then investigated the effects of violence on QoL and mental health mediated by social support while considering the effects of socioeconomic status on violence.

Results

More than half the women had experienced violence within 12 months (58.7%). Violence had a direct negative impact on their QoL and a direct positive association with mental health problems. Social support did not mediate these effects but did have a direct positive impact on QoL and a direct negative association with mental health problems. Socioeconomic status was directly affected by violence and had an indirect impact on QoL and mental health mediated by violence.

Conclusion

The study raises awareness about violence's impact on the QoL and mental health of migrant women workers from Myanmar in Thailand. We highlight the urgent need for comprehensive initiatives to provide social support mechanisms and promote socioeconomic empowerment. Collaborative efforts among government, nongovernment organizations, and communities are crucial for ensuring legal protections and safe working conditions, with regular monitoring and evaluation to gauge effectiveness in preventing violence and promoting these women's QoL and mental health.
