Estrés y resiliencia en adultos en condición de movilidad humana en la ciudad de Cuenca, 2023

Abstract

Resilience refers to the ability to adapt and recover in the face of challenges and adversities. On the other hand, human mobility involves the movements that people make for various reasons, whether within a country or between countries, in search of economic opportunities or to reunite with family. Stress in this context refers to the tensions and pressures faced during migration, from adapting to new environments to linguistic barriers. In this context, the main objective of this study was to determine the correlation between the variables of stress and resilience in the adult population experiencing human mobility in the city of Cuenca during the year 2023. With a quantitative approach, correlational scope, and non-experimental design, 80 individuals of various nationalities and migratory experiences were evaluated in programs at the University of Cuenca. A sociodemographic questionnaire, the Perceived Stress Scale, and the Brief Resilience Scale were used. The results were processed using SPSS software, version 28. The results revealed a high incidence of stress (66.3%). A statistically significant correlation was found between stress and resilience, with a moderate intensity and negative direction.
