Analysis of the work, health and well-being experience of immigrant personal support workers in minority language contexts in Canada: Scoping review protocol

The aging Canadian population has led to an increase in Canada’s use of home and community care services. In this context, the healthcare system relies heavily on personal support workers who work in various healthcare settings. A significant proportion of these workers are immigrants, and many live in linguistic minorities. Despite their pivotal role, the experiences and working conditions of these personal support workers are underrepresented in the scientific literature, specifically in intersectional analyses. This scoping review aims to examine the work experiences, health conditions, and well-being of immigrant personal support workers in Canada who work in a minority language setting.
