Abstract

Migrant care workers (MCWs) play a crucial role in addressing healthcare workforce shortages in many developed countries. Existing reviews document the significant challenges MCWs face—such as language barriers, interpersonal discrimination, and sexual harassment—and describe the social support that MCWs receive, but ambiguous application and heterogeneous measurement of theoretical constructs have thus far precluded researchers from deriving generalizable insights about how various types of social support positively and negatively impact MCWs’ well-being. Therefore, we conducted a scoping review on this topic and organized the literature using four theoretical perspectives on social support.
