Objectives: Migrant farmworkers face many hardships in both their working and living environments including dangerous and demanding tasks, long hours, and inadequate rest. This study sought to explore gender differences in the reporting of fatigue and pain and to identify predictors of fatigue and pain among migrant farmworkers in Nebraska (n = 241). Methods: Bivariate tests were used to assess associations among study variables. Linear and generalized linear mixed effect models were used to assess gender as a predictor of fatigue and pain respectively while controlling for covariates. Results: Females reported significantly higher levels of fatigue (M score = 15.5, SD = 6.1 compared to M score = 12.8, SD = 4.3) than their male counterparts. Females were also more likely to report pain (56.9% of females compared to 36.3% of males). Being female, pain, hours of sleep, and job demands were significant predictors of fatigue. Fatigue and job-related injury were the only significant predictors of pain. Conclusions: There are gender-related disparities in the reporting of fatigue and pain among Latino/a migrant farmworkers. Extra precautions need to be taken to protect worker health and safety and reduce fatigue, particularly for female workers. Implications for employers, supervisors, and healthcare providers are discussed.

:目标:农民工在工作和生活环境中都面临许多困难,包括艰巨而艰巨的任务,长时间工作和休息不足。这项研究旨在探讨内在疲劳和痛苦报告中的性别差异,并确定内布拉斯加州外来务工人员中疲劳和痛苦的预测因素(n = 241)。方法:双变量检验用于评估研究变量之间的关联。线性和广义线性混合效应模型用于评估性别,分别作为疲劳和疼痛的预测指标,同时控制协变量。结果:女性报告的疲劳水平明显高于男性(M评分= 15.5,SD = 6.1,而M评分= 12.8,SD = 4.3)。女性也更容易报告疼痛(女性为56.9%,而男性为36.3%)。作为女性,疼痛,睡眠时间和工作需求是疲劳的重要预测指标。疲劳和与工作有关的伤害是疼痛的唯一重要预测指标。结论:在拉丁裔/移民农民工的疲劳和疼痛报告中,存在与性别相关的差异。需要采取额外的预防措施以保护工人的健康和安全并减少疲劳,特别是对于女性工人。讨论了对雇主,主管和医疗保健提供者的影响。
