Abstract

Çalışmanın amacı, İstanbul’da ev işlerinde çalışan Filipinli kadınların yaşam kalitesinin çalışma yaşamı sorunları ve sosyodemografik özellikler ile ilişkisini tespit belirlemektir. Bu kesitsel araştırma İstanbul’da Filipinli ev işlerinde çalışan 292 kadının katılımı ile yürütülmüştür. Yüz yüze görüşülerek 2 bölümden oluşan anket formu doldurulmuştur. Bağımlı değişken yaşam kalitesini belirlemek üzere SF-36 yaşam kalitesi ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Bağımsız değişkenleri belirlemek (sosyodemografik özellikler, çalışma koşulları, istismar maruziyetini ve gelecek planları) için 20 soruluk bir anket kullanılmıştır. Filipinli kadınların yaşam kalitesi puanı ile demografik özellikleri ve çalışma koşulları ilişkisi t-testi ve ANOVA analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Kadınların SF-36 alt ölçeklerden aldıkları puanlar; fiziksel sağlık: 60,2±27,7, fiziksel rol kısıtlılığı: 54,7±38,0, ağrı: 68,9±20,5, genel sağlık: 65,7±17,0, canlılık: 56,1±15,4, sosyal fonksiyonlar: 62,2±18,0, emosyonel rol kısıtlılığı: 57,8±40,9, mental sağlık: 58,6±20,5, canlılık: 56,1±15,4 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Yaş, eğitim durumu, medeni hal, çalışma süresi, ev işçisi olarak çalışma sebebi gibi değişkenler fiziksel rol kısıtlılığı, canlılık, duygusal sorunlara bağlı rol kısıtlılığı, mental sağlık ve genel sağlık durumu gibi SF-36 alt ölçek puanlarını etkilediği anlaşılmıştır. Çalışma koşulları işverenle yaşamak, özel oda, fiziksel rol kısıtlılığı, canlılık, mental sağlık, genel sağlık durumu ve ağrı durumu alanlarını etkilemektedir. Sağlık sigortası, fiziksel rol kısıtlılığı, canlılık, mental sağlığı, fiziksel durum ve ağrı durumu alanlarını etkilemektedir. Uzun çalışma saatleri ve işverenlerin tutumu duygusal sorunlar bağlı rol kısıtlılığı, mental sağlığı ve ağrı durumu alanları ile ilişkili bulunmuştur. İstanbul’da yaşayan Filipinli ev işçisi kadınların yaşam kalitesini, sosyodemografik özelliklerinin ve çalışma koşullarının, istismar maruziyetlerinin yaşam kalitelerini etkilediği saptanmıştır.
