Item Violencia intrafamiliar y resiliencia en mujeres(Universidad Técnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Trabajo Social, 2026-01-21) Guamaní Yanez, Doménica Lizbeth; Pino Loza, Eulalia DoloresDomestic violence is a persistent problem that significantly affects family well-being, particularly impacting women. This study analyzes the risk factors that manifest themselves in these contexts, as well as the levels of resilience in women who use the “Women's Center” program in the province of Osorno, taking into account a scenario characterized by sociocultural disparities, economic instability, and geographical differences that hinder access to protection. Two instruments were used, the Domestic Violence Risk Factor Scale (EFR-VIF) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), with a correlational, cross-sectional, and quantitative approach, in a sample composed of women who have suffered domestic violence. The results revealed that the most significant risks are related to traditional gender beliefs that legitimize abuse, the perpetrator's lifestyle linked to drug and alcohol use, age, family history of violence, economic difficulties, and health problems that increase dependence and vulnerability. With regard to resilience, medium to high levels were found, highlighting virtues such as persistence, self-efficacy, and tenacity, as well as the ability to adapt to change and support networks. However, weaknesses were observed in emotional control under pressure and in the use of spirituality as a coping strategy. The results obtained showed a relationship between risk factors and resilience, in which women recognize these factors and demonstrate coping skills. Likewise, a significant but weak correlation was found between domestic violence and resilience, indicating that women who experience more violence tend to activate their personal resources and the support they receive from their environment with greater intensity. In this sense, resilience does not appear on its own, but develops with support and accompaniment that help women regain stability and autonomyItem Mediación en casos de violencia intrafamiliar(Universidad Técnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Trabajo Social, 2026-01-19) Buenaño Cortés, Valeria Teresa; Vargas Villacrés, Borman RenánThe research focused on analyzing the viability of family mediation in contexts of domestic violence, considering the perceptions of professionals in Chile and Ecuador. The study began with the recognition that domestic violence persisted as a structural phenomenon that seriously affected the physical, psychological, emotional, and social integrity of victims. It was evident that, although mediation had been internationally recognized as an alternative method of conflict resolution, its application in scenarios of domestic violence generated tensions due to power inequalities and the risks of revictimization. The theoretical framework allowed us to identify that, in different countries, family mediation had shown benefits in relational conflicts, but also limitations when coercive dynamics existed. In Chile and Ecuador, the available figures revealed a sustained increase in violence, underscoring the need to explore innovative strategies without compromising the safety of victims. For this reason, the principles, stages, and skills required to carry out mediation processes were explored in depth, as well as the types and manifestations of domestic violence. Methodologically, the study adopted a qualitative, descriptive, and interpretive approach, based on interviews with professionals from the Women's Center in Osorno, Chile, and Ecuadorian specialists. The narratives collected showed that mediation, although valuable in other family contexts, was not legally or ethically viable in situations of domestic violence, as it did not guarantee conditions of balance, safety, or autonomy for victims. Likewise, professionals agreed on the importance of strengthening institutional protection, psychosocial care, and the specialization of teams involved in these cases. Overall, the findings led to the conclusion that mediation could not be considered an applicable mechanism in contexts of domestic violence; however, the analysis provided relevant insights for understanding the dynamics of the conflict, promoting prevention policies, and strengthening professional intervention from a social work perspectiveItem La intervención en la violencia intrafamiliary estrategias sistémicas(Universidad Técnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Trabajo Social, 2025-07-30) Paredes Nachimba, Luis Pablo; Campoverde Quijano, MaribelThis research addresses the problem of domestic violence from the perspective of Social Work, focusing on the use of systemic strategies by professionals with experience in social intervention. This issue acquires relevance in the current Ecuadorian context, where conflictive family dynamics significantly affect the well-being of individuals and violate their rights. For this reason, domestic violence not only generates psychological and emotional impacts, but also contributes to the reproduction of cycles of violence, which is directly linked to the exclusion and social integration line ofresearch. Thus, the main objective of the study was to analyze the use of systemic strategies in the intervention of cases of domestic violence, considering that these allow a comprehensive understanding of family relationships and promote structural changes in dysfunctional household dynamics. The methodology applied was qualitative, using semi-structured interviews aimed at social workers with expertise in the area through intentional sampling. Likewise, the analysis of the information was carried out using the ATLAS.ti software, which allowed the identification of relevant categories on the use, limitations and effectiveness of these strategies. It is concluded that although professionals recognize the value of systemic strategies, their application is still limited by institutional and training factors or even resistance to change, in response by adapting to the reality of professionals, it is proposed to strengthen the updating of knowledge and professional practice to improve results as well as the quality of interventions.Item Patrones familiares y violencia intrafamiliar en un mercado de la provincia de Tungurahua(2025-07-30) Cáceres Baño, Katherine Dayanna; Pino Loza, Eulalia DoloresDomestic violence is a persistent problem that significantly affects the well-being of families, especially in contexts of social vulnerability. This study was conducted in a market in the province of Tungurahua, Ecuador, with the objective of analyzing how family patterns influence domestic violence among workers and their families. The research was based on a mixed approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods to capture both statistical data and subjective experiences. The research methodology was bibliographic and field-based, as secondary information was collected through a review of the literature that supports the variables. It was field-based, as information was collected directly, that is, at the location where the events occurred. Structured surveys were administered to 100 workers and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 of their family members, which allowed for a deeper understanding of the relational dynamics, power structures, and intergenerational beliefs present in the homes. The study revealed that many families maintain traditional hierarchical structures, in which authoritarian attitudes persist, which, although normalized, foster violent behavior. Among the types of violence identified are physical, psychological, economic, and sexual, particularly manifested within couples. The results also showed that factors such as family structure, educational level, and communication within the home are closely linked to the emergence of these conflicts. Finally, the study concludes that domestic violence is not an isolated incident, but rather the result of deeply rooted sociocultural patterns that require comprehensive and sustained interventions to transform them.Item La violencia intrafamiliar en las etapas del ciclo vital de la mujer de la Provincia de Tungurahua(Universidad Técnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Derecho, 2025-03-21) Paredes Ruiz, Vanessa del Rocío; Poaquiza Poaquiza, Angel PatricioDomestic violence is violent acts committed by a family member that harm the well-being and physical and psychological integrity of women, who are exposed to many forms of violence regardless of the stage of their life cycle. A very relevant and important aspect is to analyze the effects that domestic violence causes in the stages of a woman's life cycle and how it affects her daily life in her home, so it is essential to identify the types of violence that have been used, and likewise to the person who exercises violence against the woman. It is estimated that 20% to 50% of women have suffered violence committed by a partner or family member, and a set of beliefs, attitudes and wrong behaviors have been used as an excuse to validate violence against women, resulting in the high rate of femicides in Ecuador, revealed by studies that women were psychologically, sexually and physically abused; They are more likely to have very serious psychological effects such as suicidal behavior, unwanted pregnancies and abortion. Therefore, it is essential that the State guarantees the protection of women's rights at different stages of the life cycle, as vulnerable groups, and the need arises to reinforce the public policy of protection and prevention towards women, by strengthening comprehensive programs that address domestic violence, and access to justice for victims must also be guaranteed.Item Medidas de protección en violencia intrafamiliar y su aplicabilidad para los hombres por aspectos de la masculinidad en la jurisdicción Ecuatoriana(Universidad Tècnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Derecho, 2024-08) Cisneros Guachimboza, Nadia Lizbeth; Tite, Ramiro SegundoProtection measures in domestic violence and their applicability for men due to aspects of masculinity in the Ecuadorian jurisdiction" is a research topic for the degree work that is incorporated into the Research Project "INTRA-WORK AND EXTRA-WORK PATHS OF WOMEN ACADEMIC IN TELEWORK AND IN-PERSON MODALITY; FROM A GENDER PERSPECTIVE.” It focuses on the analysis of protection measures in cases of domestic violence, with special attention to how masculinity and gender roles influence the administration of justice, which seeks to understand the dynamics of domestic violence from a legal and social perspective. The importance of the topic lies in the need to ensure the safety and protection of victims of domestic violence, as well as to understand the underlying factors that can influence the effectiveness of protective measures. The main objective of the study is to explore how masculinity and gender roles can affect the perception and application of protection measures by judicial authorities. The methodology used is based on an explanatory and qualitative approach. The inductive-deductive method and documentary-bibliographic technique, interviews with experts on the subject and a deductive method were used to analyze and understand in depth the phenomenon studied. This methodology was selected due to the complex and multifaceted nature of the topic, requiring detailed analysis of the perceptions and experiences of various stakeholders. The results revealed that the perception of masculinity and gender roles can significantly influence the application of protection measures. It was found that, in some cases, gender stereotypes can bias the perception of judicial authorities and affect the effectiveness of protection measures. In addition, gaps were identified in the implementation of these measures, especially with regard to the care and protection of victims. In conclusion, the need to raise awareness among judicial authorities about the importance of addressing gender dimensions in the administration of justice, as well as to implement policies and programs that promote equitable application, is highlighted. Continued research in this area is recommended to develop more effective strategies to prevent and address domestic violence in all its formsItem La violencia vicaria y las relaciones intrafamiliares(Universidad Tècnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Trabajo Social, 2023-03) Gómez Tapia, Sheila Thalia; Torres Carrillo, Silvia SusanaThe purpose of this thesis is to identify vicarious violence and intrafamily relationships of women belonging to the Ana de Peralta Collective, in addition it is intended to address this problem as it has become a social problem in recent years and this has been increasing, for the realization of the research we worked with a population of 60 women. The term "vicarious violence" is not a well-known term in society, but nevertheless it is a fact that in recent times has been negatively damaging the intrafamily relationships that exist within the home, being the most affected children, as they are used as a tool by their parent to cause harm and pain to the mother. It is important to address this problem, since in this way it will be possible to know how those families are after having gone through difficult situations that in many of the times have left traces impossible to erase and forget. For the execution of the research a quantitative approach was used, with the application of two questionnaires, one for each variable, on the one hand for the independent variable a previously elaborated questionnaire of own authorship was taken with the name of "Vicarious Violence" which consists of 7 questions and 3 dimensions which are the same that are: security, family environment and self-esteem, while for the dependent variable an evaluation was made using the questionnaire, designed, constructed and validated by Marchena Japan called "Intrafamily Violence " with 10 items and 5 dimensions, physical harm, emotional harm, severity of machismo, sexual violence, economic mistreatment. Similarly, a positive correlation was applied and the respective analysis of the results was carried out, after which the hypothesis was finally verified, which gave way to the alternative hypothesis: "Vicarious violence influences the intra-family relationships of women belonging to the Ana de Peralta Collective", and the conclusions and recommendations were made in the face of this problemItem Mediación comunitaria: análisis de aplicabilidad como medida preventiva en conflictos de violencia intrafamiliar(Universidad Técnica de Ambato,Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Derecho, 2022-09) Vargas Gómez, Laura Patricia; Jordán Buenaño, Jeanette ElizabethCurrently, one of the biggest problems is domestic violence, especially the one against women at home. Violence is a direct consequence of the environment in which people live, meaning that the more violent the environment is, the more likely people are to replicate these harmful behaviors. This research project is justified in the social sphere, in the need to create spaces that allow facing domestic violence through the use of extrajudicial methods such as community mediation. This research project exposes proposals such as mediation to face this problem, in which the actors of the family are involved and at the same time to generate spaces for pacification and peace culture. In addition to proposing community mediation as a way to resolve conflicts in all environments and consequently decongest the justice system. Thus, this research aims to explain the feasibility of using community mediation as a preventive measure in domestic violence conflicts, within the rural parishes of Juan Benigno Vela and Totoras. Through the application and analysis of investigative instruments such as the survey and interviews with indigenous leaders, experts on the subject of mediation, political lieutenants; as well as the residents of each community. The aforementioned, will obviate the need to apply mediation as a preventive measure, through the three dimensional analysis that will support the hypothesis of this investigation.Item La pandemia del covid-19 y su incidencia en la violencia intrafamiliar en el Ecuador(Universidad Técnica de Ambato,Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Derecho, 2022-09) Toapanta Quinatoa, Lesly Dennise; Guerrero Zuñiga, ÉdisonThe objective of this research project is to carry out an analysis of the factors that most influenced the increase in cases of domestic violence in the COVID-19 pandemic. The investigation is based on the fact that when the total confinement of the population was decreed as of March 19, 2020, several problems began to arise in all areas of life and human development, several of them had to return to coexistence between couples and children that as time passed in each of the members of the household suffocation was taking place, this occurred because more than 90% of the households already had a routine life where each one went out to their economic activity or one of the cohabitants, therefore they did not live a harmonious life of marriage or family coexistence, but after the emergence of the pandemic, family coexistence re-emerged; For many, this was an effect that produced an increase in cases of domestic violence, which occurred in most Ecuadorian homes regardless of their social status. The Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador guarantees the full protection of the family, as the fundamental nucleus within society, this is specifically found within article 67. The line of investigation that will be used within the investigation is Exclusion and social integrity and the descriptive research. Therefore, support mechanisms are proposed for those people who are victims of the social problem which is domestic violence.Item Análisis de casos múltiples desde el Trabajo Social con Familias víctimas de Femicidio(Universidad Técnica de Ambato,Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Trabajo Social, 2022-09) Rosero Carrera, Andrea de los Ángeles; Haro Lara, AídaFemicide has been a subject of constant struggle, determining a definition that is the death of women for being a woman or for its aggravating circumstances and also maintaining a power relationship between the victim and the aggressor.
