Predictors of Mexican Colonia Residents' Health Perceptions and Spirituality Level: A Pilot Study
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Abstract The purpose of this pilot study was to examine and identify factors predictive of health perceptions and spirituality levels of Mexican residents living in a border colonia. Sixty residents completed a survey. The instrument consisted of demographics items, a spiritual well-being scale containing two subscales, and a general health rating index (GHRI) containing five subscales used to measure health perceptions. Current health was rated better by those who reported having a physician. Health outlook was positively correlated to church attendance and to the number of individuals living in the home. Health worry/concern was positively correlated with age and inversely correlated with income. Correlations between general health perceptions and spiritual well-being yielded three significant relationships: current health, resistance to illness, and health outlook. Higher sense of spiritual well-being positively correlated (r = 0.61, p Key words: Health, Health Needs, Health Education, Colonia, Spirituality, Predictive Measures Introduction Background: Establishment of maquiladoras industry and colonias near the U.S. and Mexico Border The United States (U.S.) and Mexico border region is defined by the U.S. and Mexican government in the La Paz Agreement of 1983 as the 62 miles north and south of the border. (1) The area is approximately 2,000 miles long, stretching from San Ysidro, California to Brownsville, Texas. Comprised within the border area are four states in the United States and six states in Mexico. The forty-eight counties on the border within Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California are among the poorest in the country, and the border area, including Mexico's side, ranks last in access to health care and last in per capita income. Not only are high rates of poverty and unemployment a concern, the region is medically underserved, creating pressing health and social conditions. On January 1, 1994, the National America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) among the United States, Canada, and Mexico was implemented in order to make international trading of imports and exports less complicated. Before NAFTA, on the Mexican side of the border, there were only a few hundred maquiladoras (export-oriented factories). However, ten years later they numbered more than 3,800. (2) The maquiladoras industry has become Mexico's second-largest source of export earnings and primarily produce electronic equipment, clothing, plastics, furniture, appliances, and auto parts; however, the wages within several maquiladoras are relatively low, ranging from 50 cents to one dollar per day. (2,3) A large number of individuals throughout Mexico migrate north to the border, seeking employment opportunities. Unfortunately, the cost of living in border towns is often 30% higher than in southern Mexico, and many of the maquiladora employees are forced to live in shanty towns or colonias (neighborhoods) near the factory cities. (2) The development of colonias, defined as unincorporated subdivisions or pockets of shanty homes with extreme impoverished conditions, began in the late 1950's. …

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
