Method: This descriptive and observational study was conducted in Istanbul. It comprised child workers. Descriptive Characteristics Assessment Form and Nightingale Notes Software based on the terminology of the Omaha System were used for data collection.
Results: The participants were 81 child workers aged 10–13 years, 86% were male, and 12% were migrants from Syria. Eighty-five percent worked to contribute their family income. The most common health problems were mental health, neglect, income, oral health, nutrition, personal care, physical activity, sleep and rest patterns, and neighbourhood/workplace safety. There was an association between mental health problems and family health status;between individual health status and oral health as well as role change;between maternal education level and oral health as well as personal care and between nutrition and paternal education level (p<.05).
Conclusion: The Omaha system was found suitable for determining health problems of migrant and non-migrant juvenile labor. However, it is necessary to prevent poverty, develop the understanding of the social state, and comply with legal norms. We recommend that researchers examine the health of child workers in long-term and mixed-method observational studies.}, number={3}, publisher={Yusuf ARSLAN}, organization={yok}
