Belum banyak upaya dilakukan untuk mengetahui kesehatan mental tenaga kerja wanita yang berada di luar negeri. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat gambaran dan faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan kesehatan kesehatan mental pada Tenaga Kerja Indonesia yang bekerja di Taiwan. Data diambil menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan alat ukur the Hopkins Symptoms Checklist-25 (HSCL-25) untuk mengetahui tingkat distres psikologis dan pertanyaan mengenai karakteristik sosiodemografik. Partisipan penelitian ini adalah 181 tenaga kerja wanita Indonesia yang sudah bekerja di Taiwan selama minimal enam bulan, dikumpulkan dengan teknik convenience sampling dan snowball sampling. Berdasarkan penghitungan statistik, sebanyak 17% dari total partisipan mengalami gejala depresi dan kecemasan. Dari uji hipotesis, diketahui terdapat hubungan positif signifikan antara distres psikologis dan komunikasi rutin dengan keluarga, keaktifan di komunitas, dan alasan kerja untuk mencari kesempatan lebih baik.
