Se analiza la relación del apoyo social y la resiliencia con la satisfacción vital y la salud mental de los inmigrantes, y las diferencias en dichas variables según la región de origen (África, Europa, Latinoamérica y Asia). En el estudio han participado 1094 inmigrantes que residen en España. Los resultados de la regresión por pasos muestran que la tenacidad, el apoyo social de la familia y de los autóctonos, y el control personal son los mejores predictores de la satisfacción vital. La tenacidad, el apoyo de la familia y el control lo son de la salud mental.

“…The diversity of measures used to assess the construct may be contributing to these discordant results, since different instruments have been used in line with sources and functions of support. Thus, a multidimensional approach to social support could be more revealing (García-Martín, Hombrados-Mendieta, & Gómez-Jacinto, 2016).…”

El apoyo social percibido es considerado un factor clave para la reducción del riesgo de estrés psicológico, fracaso académico y abandono de los estudios universitarios; sin embargo, la investigación relativa al modo en que el apoyo social puede incidir en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes universitarios es escasa. El presente estudio examina la relación de diferentes provisiones y fuentes de apoyo social con el rendimiento académico de estudiantes universitarios españoles, en su primer y tercer curso. La muestra estaba compuesta por 219 adultos emergentes, 149 mujeres y 70 hombres, con una edad media de 18.01 años (SD= 0.46), matriculados en distintas titulaciones de una universidad pública española. Los datos se recabaron durante el primer año académico (tiempo 1) y de nuevo en el tercer año (tiempo 2). Los análisis de regresión realizados mostraron que diferentes dimensiones del apoyo social percibido predecían el éxito académico en el intervalo de dos años. Los resultados del estudio podrían servir para mejorar programas y políticas dirigidas a promover el ajuste y rendimiento académico de los estudiantes. Perceived social support is considered a key factor for reducing the risk of psychological distress, academic failure and student withdrawal from university; however, research concerning how social support may influence academic performance in undergraduate students is scarce. This study aimed to examine the relation of different provisions and sources of perceived social support with academic achievement of Spanish university students in their first and third year. The sample consisted of 219 emerging adults, 149 women and 70 men, of average age 18.01 years (SD= 0.46), enrolled on different degree courses at a public Spanish university. Data were collected during the first academic year (time 1) and again during the third academic year (time 2). Regression analysis of the data showed that different dimensions of social support predicted academic success throughout a period of two years. The study findings could be used to help university counsellors and administrators refine programmes and policies aimed at enhancing students’ adjustment and academic achievement.

“…Studies describe how inadequate social conditions are directly associated with indicators of illness or adverse life conditions, and also influence the individual's emotional well-being [7][8][9][10][11][12] . From this perspective, Social Support (SS), especially informal support, plays an important role as a tool to support the health care of people aged 60 years or older 13,14 .…”

“…Some authors conceptualize SS as the accessible support for an individual through social ties with other individuals, groups and the community 14 . Squassoni et al 15 describe social support as a form of information that leads the individual to believe that they are loved, that there are people who care about them, that they are appreciated, valued, and affiliated with groups with mutual responsibilities, and that a differentiation can be made between formal support, formed by a network of professionals and diverse institutions, for example, and informal support [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] .…”

“…Informal Social Support (ISS) refers to any support received from a network of those close to the individual, usually consisting of family members, friends or neighbors, and which can involve diverse aspects such as social interaction, support in dayto-day activities, and material and financial support, among others [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] . These aspects can form the latent dimensions of ISS.…”

Objective: The objective of the study was to carry out the factorial validation of the questionnaire for the evaluation of informal social support (ASI) for the elderly. Method: It is a descriptive, observational, quantitative type research. It was executed between August and December of 2016 in the municipality of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte and other locations in Brazil. In Inclusion criteria, were have age 60 or older and cognitive ability preserved. We performed Exploratory Factor Analysis (AFE). As criterion of exclusion of the items was adopted a reference value greater than or equal to 0.35 of factorial load and greater or equal to 0.5 of commonality per item. To determine the amount of retained factors, the criteria of own values>1, minimum cumulative explained variance of 60% and parallel Horn analysis were observed. Results: A sample of 259 elderly people from the five regions of Brazil was obtained. After AFE, 4 items were excluded due to the poverty of their factorial loads, remaining 20 items in 4 retained factors. Conclusion: The instrument has good psychometric properties, such as acceptable factor loads and excellent commonalities.
