%X Migratory processes test the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of migrants and
their relatives that stay in their place of origin. This article presents an abridged analysis
of an interdisciplinary and applied research developed between 2015 and 2019 about
Ecuadorian migrants in the United States and Spain, relatives of migrants who stayed
in Ecuador, and return migrants. By paying attention to health and migration histories,
family dynamics, care practices, transnational intersections of social structures, and individual
and collective agency, this study identifies health processes and conceptualizes
psycho-sociocultural mechanisms that migrants and their relatives use to cope with migration-
related health challenges. It discusses how the application of a critical, feminist,
and activist theoretical-practical sociological approach provides a transformative vision
to the traditional study of health and migration, which is effective to prevent and take
care of health problems resulting from migration.
