description Social support is a protection resource for the quality of life of immigrant women and a form of social capital. The objective was to identify the frequency and satisfaction of the social support perceived and received by immigrant women from the Valparaíso Health Centers. The study was cross-sectional associative and the technique was the social survey. The Perceived and Received Social Support Questionnaire (ASORPE) and questions on sociodemographic characteristics were applied to 227 immigrant women between 18 and 44 years old. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square test were used. Marital status, education, years in Chile, type of housing, number of people with whom she lives, migratory status and having been diagnosed with a disease are related to the frequency and satisfaction of perceived and received social support from immigrant friends, Chileans, family and others. The social support provided by the networks of immigrant groups, whether informational, material or emotional support, constitutes social capital for their communities, enabling the existence of bonds of trust between relatives, immigrant and non-migrant friends, contributing to their integration into the society of reception.

El apoyo social es un recurso para la calidad de vida de mujeres inmigrantes y constituye capital social. El objetivo fue identificar frecuencia y satisfacción del apoyo social percibido y recibido por mujeres inmigrantes de Centros de Salud de Valparaíso. Estudio con diseño no experimental, transversal, descriptivo, mediante una encuesta social. Se aplicó el Cuestionario de Apoyo Social Percibido y Recibido y preguntas sociodemográficas a 227 mujeres de entre 18 y 44 años. Se utilizaron estadística descriptiva, r de Pearson y análisis de varianza. Los resultados sugieren que el país de nacimiento, estado civil, educación, años en Chile, motivos de migración, vivienda, número de personas con que vive, trabajo, situación migratoria y diagnóstico de enfermedades se relacionan con frecuencia y satisfacción del apoyo social percibido y recibido. El apoyo social informacional, material o emocional, proveniente de redes de inmigrantes contribuye a su integración en la sociedad de acogida.    Universidad Nacional de Córdoba 2023-04-29 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/racc/article/view/33258 10.32348/1852.4206.v15.n1.33258 Argentinean Journal of Behavioral Sciences; Vol. 15 No. 1 (2023): Revista Argentina de Ciencias del Comportamiento ; 145-155 Revista Argentina de Ciencias del Comportamiento; Vol. 15 Núm. 1 (2023): Revista Argentina de Ciencias del Comportamiento ; 145-155 1852-4206 10.32348/1852.4206.v15.n1 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/racc/article/view/33258/41171 Derechos de autor 2023 Fabiola Vilugrón, Ximena Sánchez, Daniela Casanueva, Estela Arcos http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0
