Overview

Develops and validates an index assessing reintegration in migrant workers, indicating its potential use in enhancing their post-return experiences.

Key Points

  • The aim is to create and validate an Index of Reintegration to measure the status of workers returning from the Middle East.
  • Conducted a three-phase process: item development, scale development, and scale evaluation.
  • Used literature reviews and expert interviews for item development.
  • Conducted a community-based survey with 650 returnee migrant workers.
  • Applied exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses to evaluate the scale.
  • Developed a 20-item Index of Reintegration with six identified factors.
  • The scale explained approximately 60% of total variance in reintegration experiences.
  • Achieved Cronbach’s alpha values ≥ 0.7, indicating high reliability for all components.
  • Confirmed good construct and content validity through rigorous evaluation.
