The object of the presented study is to analyze the importance of health factors on emigrational intentions of Lithuanians. The subjects are 559 Lithuanians: 194 (34.7 percent) men and 365 (65.3 percent) women. 58.1 percent of participants declared the intentions to emigrate, 41.9 percent of participants had no intentions to emigrate. The main variables of the study are: general self-rated health, health complaints, depression, psychosocial stress and tobacco, alcohol and other drugs consumption. The results showed that Lithuanian men and women don't differ on intentions to emigrate: 60.8 percent of men and 56.7 percent of women had intentions to emigrate, but both men and women with emigrational intentions were younger. Women who had intentions to emigrate showed better self-rated health, lower psychosocial stress and used tobacco, alcohol and other drugs more regularly compared to not intended to emigrate women. Younger age, lower psychosocial stress, higher depression and more regular consumption of alcohol and other drugs were significant in prognosis of women's emigrational intentions. The analysis showed no differences on health variables between men with and without emigrational intentions; however, younger age and less complaints about psychological health were found to be significant predictors of men's emigrational intentions.
Straipsnyje pristatomi tyrimo, kuriuo siekiama įvertinti asmens sveikatos rodiklių svarbą aiškinant lietuvių ketinimus emigruoti, rezultatai. Tyrime dalyvavo 194 vyrai ir 365 moterys. 58,1 proc. tiriamųjų teigė ketinantys išvykti gyventi ar užsidirbti į užsienį, 41,9 proc. tiriamųjų emigruoti neketina. Tyrime analizuojami tokie sveikatos rodikliai kaip: subjektyvus sveikatos vertinimas, nusiskundimai fizine ir psichine sveikata, patiriamo psichosocialinio streso ir deperesiškumo lygis, tabako, alkoholio ir kitų narkotikų vartojimo dažnumas. Tyrimo rezultatais įrodyta, kad vyrų emigracinius ketinimus prognozuoja jaunesnis amžius bei didesnis nusiskundimų psichine sveikata skaičius. Moterų ketinimus emigruoti prognozuoja jaunesnis amžius, mažesnis patiriamas psichosocialinis stesas, aukštesni depresiškumo rodikliai, reguliarus alkoholio vartojimas ir bandymas vartoti kitokias narkotines medžiagas.
