Item type:Ítem, La identidad y salud mental en niños, niñas y adolescentes(Universidad Técnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Trabajo Social, 2026-07-09) ;Lema Lema, Mayuri NicolePino Loza, Eulalia DoloresThis research focused on analyzing identity and its impact on the mental health of children and adolescents at the "General Rumiñahui" Educational Unit. The study arose from the identification of problems evidenced in the data obtained, which revealed manifestations of insecurity, difficulties in self-perception, doubts about personal abilities, emotional vulnerability, and the presence of emotions associated with anxiety and sadness that influence the students' holistic development. Methodologically, a quantitative, descriptive, and correlational study was conducted, applying a survey to 63 students using validated instruments such as the Identity Development Scale for Young University Students and the Positive Mental Health Scale. The main results showed that parenting styles, emotional support, communication, and family support significantly influenced personal security, self-esteem, and emotional stability. Furthermore, insecurity, difficulties with self-concept, and emotional vulnerability were identified as limiting identity consolidation. Furthermore, the research revealed manifestations of anxiety, sadness, and difficulties in emotional regulation; however, students with greater socio-emotional skills, coping abilities, and family support showed higher levels of self-esteem, decision-making capacity, and healthy interpersonal relationships. The study concluded that identity and mental health are closely linked and interdependent processes, where strengthening a solid identity fosters the development of emotional, social, and personal skills, highlighting the need to implement preventive strategies and interventions from a social work perspective aimed at strengthening students' emotional well-being and holistic development
