BRIDGES OF HEALTH: HOW EDUCATION, FAMILY, AND CULTURE SHAPE MIGRANT INTEGRATION IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC FROM A PUBLIC HEALTH PERSPECTIVE

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Introduction. Migration is a multifaceted process that goes beyond physical relocation, involving the integration of individuals into new social, cultural, and economic environments. In the Czech Republic, where the number of migrants is steadily rising, effective integration has become a critical issue. Factors such as education, family background, and cultural adaptation play key roles in shaping the quality of life for migrants, influencing both their health and broader societal integration. Aim. This study aims to explore the integration of migrants in the Czech Republic, focusing on the relationships between health, education, cultural factors, and their impact on integration. It specifically examines how socio-demographic factors such as family background and education influence the integration process and health outcomes of migrants from a public health perspective. Materials and methods. The research was conducted within the framework of the GAJU 101/2022/S project, with data collected through a survey of 965 migrants residing in the Czech Republic from January 2023 to October 2023. The survey addressed reasons for residence, number of children, school attendance, and integration into the educational system. The collected data were processed using SASD 1.5.8 (Statistical Analysis of Social Data) (license Version SASD 1.5.8) and SPSS software (license Version IBM SPSS Statistics 29.0.1.0 (171)). Statistical tests, including Pearson‘s chi-square test, were used to identify significant associations with minimum significance levels of p&lt;0.05. Results. The study identified several statistically significant relationships between the main reasons for staying in the Czech Republic and factors such as the number of children and their school attendance. Family-related factors, including the presence of children, played a critical role in migrants‘ reasons for staying. Additionally, a significant relationship was found between education levels and migration motivations, with respondents citing various reasons such as education, work, or socio-political factors. Gender and country of origin were also strongly linked to leisure activities, highlighting the influence of cultural preferences on migrant integration. Conclusions. The findings underscore the complexity of migrant integration, emphasizing the importance of education and family background in shaping integration outcomes. The study also points to the need for culturally sensitive policies that consider gender and cultural differences in promoting successful integration. The integration process requires a comprehensive approach addressing both socio-demographic and cultural contexts to ensure sustainable and effective integration.
