Cuidado y atención responsable de hijos e hijas después de la separación o divorcio de los padres y madres del CEIAP y del CIBV Pitufos, 2017-2018

Abstract

Divorce or separation is a phenomenon that shows social and family transformation experienced by its members, and how it impacts the system of their relationship, especially when there are children involved. The objective of this research was to determine the responsible care and attention of a mother and father towards their children after divorce or separation in order to develop a training guide that contributes to a balance in family dynamics so that children and adolescents exercise their right to quality care by both parents. This research was quantitative, descriptive and transversal. The participating institutions were from the Center for Integral Stimulation and Psychotherapeutic Support of the University of Azuay and the Children's Center of Good Living (CIBV) One of the groups, the Smurfs, had a universe of 275 parents, where a non-probabilistic sample of 42 people are divorced or separated, of which 25 are women and 17 are men. The measuring instrument was a Questionnaire for the Evaluation of Adopters, Caregivers, Tutors and Mediators (CARIDA), which assesses the level of care. The statistical program SPSS 22 was used to process the information collected. The results show a low level of responsible care, 54,8% is attributed to mothers and 40,5% to fathers. On the other hand, 2,40% of mothers and 0% of fathers show an average level of responsible care. The figures vary according to the age of the sample. The results of the average ranges in terms of responsible care with a better profile are between 41 and 50 years old. For the CEIAP group of parents, the average is 2.56 and for the CIBV an average of 1.53. The difference that exists in responsible care between these groups is not significant, however the CEIAP parents have a better profile in responsible care for their children.
