ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To describe perceived quality of life in Latin American caregivers working in Spain and how it varies in relation to certain variables shared by this group.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.Palabras clave
