Unveiling the burden: prevalence and predictors of psychological distress among domestic workers in Kigali-Rwanda
Half of the domestic workers in Kigali-Rwanda experience distress. To mitigate this burden, awareness of psychological distress among domestic workers and improvement of services to mitigate psychological distress should be increased. These services should particularly target those who are female, with more dependents, who have worked longer in the profession, and who use substances of addiction.
