Factores de riesgo psicosociales de los estudiantes de bachillerato de la Unidad Educativa Agronómico Salesiano que tienen progenitores migrantes, cantón Paute, año 2023

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the psychosocial risk factors in adolescents children of migrant parents, from an educational institution in the city of Paute. The sample was made up of 48 individuals, 16 men and 32 women, who are in their first, second and third year of high school,

whose ages were between 14 and 18 years old. The method was quantitative with a non- experimental approach and descriptive scope. Scales were used to measure self- esteem,

planning and decision making, family function, and neighborhood perception. The results indicate that a large part of the sample is located at a medium-low level of self-esteem.The results on planning and decision making place the sample at medium and high levels, indicating a perception at those levels about their ability to decide. In terms of family, it was found that the majority reported having a normal family relationship. That of the neighborhood resulted in a positive perception located mostly at medium and low levels. It is concluded that the migratory phenomenon can function as a risk factor for certain aspectsof the adolescent, but not as a predictor of negative effects for the most part, because familydysfunction was not found in this study.
