OBJECTIVE:
To build up a scale for measuring the social
determinants modulators of resilient behavior
of adolescent students in Cuenca.
METHOD:
A quantitative study of construction of diagnostic
test. Reference population 49378
teenage students from schools in Cuenca.
A sample of 335 students randomly selected.
A Likert form structured ad hoc called
EDSRA to measure social determinants was
used. The internal consistency of the diagnostic
test was determined by Cronbach’s
alpha.
RESULTS:
A 23.6% (79) adolescents have low social
determinants influence that means their social
conditions modulate negatively the level
of resilience in adolescents.
CONCLUSIONS: The scale EDSRA has a
Cronbach’s alpha of 0.828; it is a reliable
tool that makes stable and consistent measurements.
