Item La funcionalidad familiar y su relación con la ansiedad en adolescentes de bachillerato(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Psicología Clínica, 2023-03-01) Caguana Sopa, Mishel Elizabeth; Tobar Viera, Andrea Susana Ps. Cl. Mg.Family functionality is known as a system where there are inter-family and interpersonal relationships that facilitate satisfaction within the home. In addition, due to the changes that adolescents undergo, the family should be the pillar of support for the formation of their behavior. Likewise, it facilitates the development and growth of each member of the household, respecting their personal space, privacy and freedom. It contributes as a means of protection in situations of risk and problems that are typical of adolescence. In this sense, if the family dynamics are altered, the family members generate several psychological alterations, among them anxiety. Anxiety in adolescents is presented through exaggerated worry, behavioral changes, traumatic experiences and fears generated by specific objects or in situations of social interaction. The study consisted of 141 adolescents aged 14 to 17 years with a mean of 14.9. The FF-SIL Questionnaire was used to evaluate the first variable and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale for the second variable. The results of the research show that adolescents identify with a moderately functional family is 44.0% and 48.9% have mild anxiety. It was shown that anxiety does not differ according to sex and it can be concluded that having an adequate perception of family functionality is related to anxiety in adolescents.
