Although the link between immigrants' health status and employment is well established, there is little information on the combined impact of three components of acculturation (that is, dual self-identity, language proficiency, and realized expectations) on this link. Immigrants who came to Israel from English-speaking countries (N = 377) were categorized into three groups based on the work-retirement continuum (that is, working, same occupation; working, changed occupation; or retired). Using a cross-sectional design, this study examined whether the link between health and acculturation varied by immigrants' location on the work-retirement continuum. Bivariate analyses revealed group differences for two acculturation components, language proficiency (p < .0001) and dual self-identity (p < .05). Multivariable analyses indicated an interaction effect between the acculturation component of realized expectations and work-retirement continuum group status on health status. As a result, good health was related to higher levels of realized expectations for the retired group; related to lower levels of realized expectations for the "working, changed occupations" group; and unrelated to realized expectations for the "working, same occupation" group. The acculturation component of realized expectations varies depending on the immigrant's location on the work-retirement continuum. Health and social welfare professionals can promote health in working or retired immigrants by providing clear and realistic information to better align with immigrants' expectations.

移民的健康，适应和工作退休连续性。

尽管移民的健康状况和就业之间的联系已得到很好的建立，但是关于这种适应的三个组成部分（即双重自我认同，语言能力和已实现的期望）的综合影响的信息很少。来自英语国家（N = 377）的以色列移民根据工作退休连续性（即工作，相同职业，工作，改变职业或退休）分为三类。本研究使用横断面设计检查了健康与适应能力之间的联系是否因移民在工作退休连续性上的位置而异。双变量分析揭示了两个适应成分的组差异，即语言熟练程度（p <.0001）和双重自我认同（p <.05）。多变量分析表明，已实现的期望的文化成分与工作退休连续体组状态对健康状态的相互作用。结果，良好的健康状况与对退休人员的更高期望实现水平有关。与“工作，改变职业”组的已实现期望的较低水平有关；与对“同一职业”群体的期望实现无关。实现的期望的适应成分取决于移民在工作退休连续区上的位置。卫生和社会福利专业人士可以通过提供清晰，现实的信息来更好地符合移民的期望，从而促进工作或退休移民的健康。
