Social Supports as an Aspect of Social Integration of the Poles Living in the Czech Republic

Original language description

Social support constitutes a factor whose effects may modify the effects of challenging life situation on human health. The protective effect of social support is found by a number of studies, in spite of the uncertainty prevailing in understanding of the essence of its effect. When assessing social support of the Poles, we considered the following indicators: type of residence in our territory, the anticipated social support from people from the mother country and from the Czech Republic, the density of social network that may provide support.Out of the total number of 197 respondents, an overwhelming majority maintains per-manent contacts with people from their country of origin - from Poland. The contacts are important to the respondents, particularly to women. Compared to men, women anticipate social support very well, given the greater extent and density of social networks both in their home country and in the Czech Republic. Men, whose dispositional personality characteristics include more often introversion, do not show as much social activity as more extraverted women, and are less dependent on the social world. Overall, the social integration of Polish respondents can be assessed as excellent. No significant manifestations of social inequalities that could negatively affect the health of this ethnic minority were found.
