Abstract:Introducción: El embarazo en la adolescencia tiende a presentar repercusiones personales, sociales, educativas y psicológicas en la madre y en el hijo. Es por ello por lo que el apoyo de la familia y su funcionalidad resultan cruciales. Objetivo: Determinar el nivel de funcionalidad familiar existente en las familias de las adolescentes gestantes asistentes a controles prenatales en tres instituciones de salud de Cartagena-Colombia durante 2021. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio descriptivo, de corte transversal, … Show more
“…Regarding family functioning and its association with protective and risk factors against violence, in the cohesion indicator, adolescents present a united family, meaning that this type of family functions as a protection factor against violence (Espino Balbin et al, 2023). Thus, the family can consolidate itself as a support network for adolescents through functional patterns of interaction based on respect, empathy and communication decreasing the likelihood of violent behavior (Manrique & Del Toro, 2022).…”
Objective: to analyze the risk and protective factors against violence associated with resilience and family functionality.
Method: A non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive design was used with a sample of 335 teenage university students studying psychology, both men and women, from 3 universities in Trujillo. The following instruments were used: The Resilience Scale, by Wagnild and Young, the Family Functioning Assessment Scale – FACES III, and the Family Cohesion and Adaptability Scale by Olson, Porhner and Lavee.
Results and discussion: The existence of protective factors against violence in resilience and family cohesion is evident. Regarding the adaptability indicator of family functionality, the flexible and structured family is associated with the protection factor against violence. However, rigid and chaotic families are associated as a risk factor for violence, with the risk factor prevailing for this group in the presence of chaotic families.
Implications of the research: it contributes to the understanding of the variable with respect to its descriptive categories in university students, from which greater evidence and new studies aimed at explaining, associating or predicting the variables can be generated.
Originality/Value: it was important because it analyzes protective and risk factors against violence, so that subsequent strategies can be used to reduce it and strengthen protective factors.
