Maximización, pesar, bienestar y salud en migrantes sudamericanos residentes en el valle central de Chile
Conteúdo do artigo principal
Resumo
La decisión de emigrar es compleja y tiene importantes consecuencias. Quienes emigran suelen ser los más educados y menos satisfechos con su situación en su país de origen, pero se desconocen sus estilos decisionales, si experimentan pesar al decidir y cómo eso se asocia con su bienestar y salud. Esto es analizado en 261 migrantes sudamericanos adultos, de ambos sexos, residentes en Talca (Chile), elegidos por disponibilidad, quienes respondieron instrumentos para medir estilos decisionales, pesar, bienestar y salud. Se observa una fuerte tendencia a la maximización, alto pesar, alto bienestar, y una autoevaluación de salud muy favorable. Se registran asociaciones positivas significativas de maximización con pesar (.374, p = .01), con bienestar (.161, p = .009) y con tres dominios de la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (.174, p = .005; .169, p = .006; .212, p = .001). Se discuten los resultados y se sugieren nuevos estudios.
