Stress Among Latinos: Does it Vary by Occupation and Agricultural Season?
2018
Overview
OBJECTIVE:Stress is pervasive among Latino immigrants. We identified seasonal and occupational patterns in stress among rural Latino immigrants.
METHODS:During three agricultural periods, farmworker and non-farmworker participants responded to a 24-item stress questionnaire (Snipes et al.). We measured the associations of stress with occupation, with season, and occupation within season, adjusting for demographic variables.
RESULTS:The highest levels of stress were observed in the pre-thinning season when pruning takes place among farmworkers. Stress is significantly higher in farmworkers compared to non-farmworkers only in the non-spray season when crops are dormant. Higher income was associated with decreased stress in the pre-thinning and thinning seasons when buds and small fruit are removed from orchards.
CONCLUSIONS:Identification of strategies to reduce stress in Latino migrants is warranted. Although some sources of stress may be intractable, others may be amenable to intervention.
