“Adaptación social y bienestar psicológico en población refugiada en ecuador”

Abstract

The objective of this research project was to determine the relationship between social adaptation and psychological well-being in refugees in Ecuador. The sample was of 30 people belonging to the Civil Association "Venezuelans in Ecuador" in the city of Quito, which comprised an age range of 18 to 50 years and with a maximum stay of one year in the host country. The psychometric instruments used were the SASS Applied Social Scale of Social Adaptation and the Ryff Psychological Wellbeing Scale. Through the results obtained, it was determined that social adaptation is related to psychological well-being in refugees who are currently based in Ecuador, indicating a correlation of r =, 572 (p, 001) between the two variables. In the results of the self-applied scale of social adaptation SAAS the results showed that 29 people presented a normal level of adaptation, while 1 person presented pathological super adaptation. Finally, in Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale it was concluded that the 30 people evaluated had a high psychological well-being.
