Abstract
El propósito de esta investigación es examinar los determinantes sociales de la salud (DSS) que inciden en la situación de familias migrantes venezolanas en Medellín, Antioquia, a partir de las perspectivas y conocimientos de los hombres y las mujeres inmigrantes residentes en esta ciudad. La investigación se realizó bajo un enfoque cualitativo, exploratorio y descriptivo, utilizando entrevistas tanto a varones como a mujeres venezolanas inmigrantes, mayores de 18 años y que residían de manera permanente en la ciudad de Medellín. Los DSS identificados incluyen factores del contexto socioeconómico y político, en el que se evidencian políticas públicas restrictivas que obstaculizan el acceso a servicios de salud debida a las barreras administrativas para lograr la regularización de los migrantes. En relación con la posición socioeconómica, se observan empleos informales con bajos ingresos y condiciones laborales precarias, así como barreras administrativas que limitan el acceso a servicios sociales. Además, se destacan condiciones inadecuadas de habitabilidad, hacinamiento, exposición a entornos contaminados, alto consumo de sustancias psicoactivas y experiencias de discriminación y xenofobia, los cuales impactan negativamente la salud mental de los inmigrantes y sus familias. En conclusión, el análisis de los DSS requiere un abordaje integral e interseccional que promueva la equidad en el acceso a los servicios de salud, proteja la salud pública y fomente la integración y el bienestar de la población inmigrante.
The purpose of this research is to examine the social determinants of health (SDH) affecting Venezuelan migrant families in Medellín, Antioquia, based on the perspectives and experiences of male and female immigrants residing in this city. The study was conducted using a qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive approach, with interviews conducted with Venezuelan immigrant men and women over the age of 18 who had established permanent residency in Medellín. The identified SDH include factors within the socioeconomic and political context, where restrictive public policies hinder access to healthcare services due to administrative barriers that complicate the regularization of migrants. Regarding socioeconomic status, the study finds informal employment characterized by low income and precarious working conditions, as well as administrative obstacles limiting access to social services. Furthermore, inadequate housing conditions, overcrowding, exposure to contaminated environments, high levels of substance abuse, and experiences of discrimination and xenophobia are prominent, all of which negatively impact the mental health of immigrants and their families. In conclusion, an integrated and intersectional approach to SDH analysis is essential to promote equitable access to healthcare, protect public health, and foster the integration and well-being of the immigrant population.
