“…This is higher than the 31% 1-month prevalence of shoulder pain reported in a study of MexicanAmerican custodians working at a university [Flores and Deal, 2003]. It is, however, similar to the 49% 12-month prevalence of shoulder pain reported by kitchen and cleaning staff [Andersen et al, 2007], and the 49-64% prevalence in hospital cleaners [Unge et al, 2007].…”

“…36,129 Numerous investigations have found that acute and chronic pain is a common complaint among HA workers employed in agriculture, 8,19,60,88,110,117,121,135 construction, 5,21,52 and the service industry. 48,52,56 Furthermore, a survey of 300 HA farmworkers with musculoskeletal pain found that 28% were above the CES-D clinical cut point for depression. 121 Among HAs working in manual labor and agricultural occupations, awkward posture and repetitive movements predicted higher rates of low back pain.…”

Although Hispanics are a burgeoning ethnic group in the United States, little is known about their pain-related experience. In order to address this gap, we critically reviewed the existing literature on the pain experience and management among Hispanic Americans (HAs). We focused our review to the literature on non-malignant pain, pain behaviors, and pain treatment seeking among HAs. Pain management experiences were examined from HA patients’ and healthcare providers’ perspectives. Our literature search included variations of the term “Hispanic” with “AND pain” in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and PsycINFO databases. A total of 117 studies met our inclusion criteria. We organized the results into a conceptual model with separate categories for biological/psychological and sociocultural/systems-level influences on HAs’ pain experience, response to pain, and seeking and receiving pain care. We also included information on healthcare providers’ experience of treating HA patients with pain. For each category, we identified future areas of research. We conclude with a discussion of limitations and clinical implications.

“…Consistent with the JD-R framework, working conditions of Hispanic immigrants impose undue demands that are related to experience of SIG. Based on the JD-R model, emphasizing the negative impact of demands on people's well-being, Hispanic immigrants likely experience deteriorated perceived physical health when faced with immigration-related job demands (Flores and Deal, 2003). Unlike psychological distress, physical strain captures somatic reactions to stressful events (e.g.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to examine stressor-strain relationships that play a role in foreign-born Hispanic workers' well-being and family-to-work facilitation (FWF) as a moderator in this relationship. Design/methodology/approach -The authors used a unique sample of foreign-born Hispanic workers employed in blue-labor jobs in Texas (n ¼ 163). Findings -Consistent with the theoretical assertions, the authors found support for the negative relationship between legal status concern and Hispanic workers' psychological and perceived physical health. Further, FWF attenuated the negative consequences of lack of English language proficiency on psychological well-being. Research limitations/implications -Both organizations and Hispanic workers can benefit from the results of the study. Hispanic immigrants can enhance their well-being by relying more on their families and seeking more support from their friends and families when dealing with immigration-related stressors. Organizations and policymakers can improve Hispanic workers' well-being by educating them about immigration-related issues and by offering help with mastering English language. Originality/value -The authors studied psychological and physical well-being of a population that is generally underrepresented in the literature -foreign-born Hispanic immigrant employees. The paper also examined what employers can do to improve the work experience of these workers.
