“…Information about the mediating effects of workrelated psychosocial factors between acculturative stress and depression among Korean-Chinese migrants may emphasize other studies and interventions targeting components of the acculturation process that may affect the mental health of migrant workers. An intervention for assertive communication skills such as disagreeing or refusing requests, which increase self-esteem and decrease mental health problems 34,35) , would be a way to deal with cultural difficulties that are being experienced, particularly in Korean workplace settings. Skills to cope with discrimination 36) are also suggested to decrease acculturative stress.…”

Acculturative Stress, Work‐related Psychosocial Factors and Depression in Korean‐Chinese Migrant Workers in Korea: Hyeonkyeong LEE, et al. Yonsei University College of Nursing, Korea— Objectives The purposes of this study were to identify the relationships among acculturative stress, work‐related psychosocial factors and depression in Korean‐Chinese migrant workers living in Korea and to determine whether work‐related psychosocial factors mediate the relationship between acculturative stress and depression. Methods A descriptive correlational cross‐sectional design was used. A convenience sample of 200 Korean‐Chinese full‐time migrant workers was recruited, and 170 completed questionnaires were included in the analysis. Acculturative stress was assessed by Sandh and Asrabadi's Acculturative Stress Scale. Work‐related psychosocial factors were assessed by job demand, insufficient job control and interpersonal conflict measures from the Korean Occupational Stress Scale. Depression was assessed by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. Self‐administered or face‐to‐face surveys were conducted by trained data collectors. Multiple regression and path analysis were used. Results Roughly 30% of the sample met the criteria for depression. Female workers had significantly higher depression scores than male workers. Acculturative stress and work‐related psychosocial factors significantly predicted 26.3% of the variance in depression. A path model revealed the mediating effect of job demand on the relationship between acculturative stress and depression. Conclusions Our results indicate that Work‐related psychosocial factors are salient factors that lead to depression among Korean‐Chinese migrant workers living in Korea. The results suggest that occupational health‐care professionals should promote the prevention and management of depression in this population and highlight the importance of acculturation context in the development of interventions designed to reduce Work‐related stress.

“…[9] Most of the studies were undertaken using female nurses as the sample thus research on gender differences was difficult to locate. One study in particular [10] specifically excluded four male subjects so that data would not be skewed by this relatively small gender mix. Sample size ranged from 22 > 721 subjects.…”

“…Three of these were undertaken in Sweden, [19][20][21] the fourth in Japan. [10] Shimizu [10] tested the effect of a two-day Assertiveness Training programme with 94 nurses in the intervention group, and 315 nurses in a control group. All nurses received the questionnaire before the training started and once again six months later.…”

Aim To examine the impact of an assertiveness communication training programme on Japanese nursing students’ level of assertiveness and intention to speak up when concerned about patient safety. Design A quasi‐experimental design with two parallel groups was used. Methods Third‐year nursing students from two Japanese educational institutions were allocated to an intervention and control group. The intervention group completed the Theory of Planned Behaviour–Assertive Communication Questionnaire and the Japanese version of the Rathus Assertiveness Schedule after attending assertive communication workshops. The second group completed the surveys before attending the workshop and were referred as the control group. Data were collected in December 2017–January 2018. Results A total of 123 out of 150 nursing students completed the surveys. Following the assertiveness communication training programme, a higher percentage of students from the intervention group demonstrated the intention to speak up. The intervention group also displayed higher levels of assertiveness, although the results were not statistically significant.
