About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to understand more about the nutritional knowledge, nutritional status, and mental health conditions (depression, anxiety, and stress) of Indonesian live-in domestic migrant workers in Taiwan.
Participants must be 20 years or older and currently working and living in their employer's home. They will be asked to fill out a set of simple surveys, either online or on paper. These surveys will include questions about nutrition knowledge, food intake, and mental health.
The main goal is to find out how common malnutrition and emotional stress are in this group. The study will also look at how nutrition knowledge and food habits are connected to mental well-being. The results may help create better health programs for migrant care workers in the future.
