RESUMEN
Objetivo: Describir la calidad de vida percibida en trabajadoras latinoamericanas como cuidadoras en España y sus diferencias en relación a ciertas variables que les son comunes. Métodos: Se utilizó el cuestionario SF-36 para la medición de la calidad de vida percibida en 517 mujeres de Baleares, Cataluña, País Vasco, Canarias y Madrid. Se estudiaron diversas variables relacionadas con su perfil sociodemográfico y proceso migratorio, usando la prueba t de Student, el test ANOVA y modelos de regresión lineal. Resultados: Obtuvieron muy bajas puntuaciones en las dimensiones de rol físico y rol emocional. El trabajo como interna, la falta de contrato, las múltiples tareas, el estatus irregular y la edad más joven se relacionaron con una peor calidad de vida dentro del grupo. Conclusiones: Las condiciones laborales y los factores ligados al proceso migratorio son determinantes para explicar la vulnerabilidad de estas mujeres (AU)
Objective: To describe perceived quality of life in Latin American caregivers working in Spain and how it varies in relation to certain variables shared by this group. Methods: We used the SF-36 to measure perceived quality of life in 517 women residing in five Spanish regions: the Balearic Islands, Catalonia, the Basque Country, the Canary Islands, and Madrid. Several variables related to the socio-demographic profile and migration process were studied using Student's t test, ANOVA and linear regression models. Results: The participants scored very low on the dimensions of physical and emotional roles. The factors associated with lower quality of life scores within the group were working as a live-in caregiver, lack of contract, multitasking, irregular status, and younger age. Conclusions: The vulnerability of these women can be explained by poor working conditions and other factors related to the migratory process (AU)
