Resumen

En 2009, la estimación de migrantes mexicanos en Estados Unidos era 11,500.0 millones (Centro Hispánico Pew, 2009). Dichos migrantes no siempre llevan a su familia con ellos. Ante esta separación, las familias transnacionales intentan compensar la ruptura con una cercanía emocional, a través del uso de las tecnologías de comunicación. Sin embargo ¿qué tipo de apoyo emocional se da cuando un familiar de la tercera edad padece una enfermedad crónica? ¿Cómo viven la emocionalidad dichas familias transnacionales? ¿Qué tecnologías utilizan para comunicarse? y ¿Cómo se relaciona la comunicación con el apoyo emocional? Para dar respuestas busqué cubrir las carencias de estudios previos, en los que sólo incluían la perspectiva de los migrantes e incluí el punto de vista de todos los miembros de las familias. Llevé a cabo un estudio cualitativo al occidente de México. Entrevisté a diferentes miembros de 15 familias transnacionales durante el año 2012 y 2013.  Los resultados mostraron que el apoyo emocional en las familias consistía en: a) el establecimiento de la comunicación iniciado por los migrantes, b) el intercambio de vivencias del día a día; c) la resolución de problemas o conflictos; y d) el acompañamiento, participación o presencia del migrante en fechas especiales. Los migrantes utilizaron las tecnologías de comunicación para mantener vínculos afectivos y dar apoyo emocional a sus padres. Dichas tecnologías también les permitieron manifestar soledad y nostalgia. Recomiendo estudiar a los migrantes nacionales y a las poblaciones rurales, para analizar si existen diferencias con las poblaciones de mi estudio.
