Dinámica familiar y habilidades relacionales en adolescentes durante la crisis sanitaria del Covid-1

Abstract

The research is of the Correlational and Descriptive type, with a finite population of 50 adolescents in an age range of 13-17 years belonging to the “Puñapí” community of the Patate Canton, whose objective was to determine the influence of Family Dynamics on Development of Relational Skills in Adolescents during the Covid-19 Health Crisis. Family Dynamics within its structure has several aspects that contribute to both the growth and development of each of its members, allowing them to develop and adaptto society. These factors play an important role in the way of relational relationships with peers or superiors, due to the health emergency this contact has been slowed down and in some settings “forced”. For the execution of the research, a methodology with a quantitative approach was used, two previously validated instruments were used, for the Family Dynamics variable the “Intrafamily Relationship Assessment Scale” was used, composed of three dimensions that are: Union and Support; Difficulties and Expression on the other hand, for the variable Relational Skills the “Social Skills Test” was used, which has four expressed dimensions: Assertiveness; Communication; Self-esteem and Decision Making. Once the results of both variables were obtained, the hypothesis testing process could be carried out, where a positive correlation was demonstrated that determines that family dynamics affects the development of skills in adolescents from the Puñapí community. In addition, it was identified that the dimensions most accepted by adolescents are Expression and Communication. Within this study, good results were obtained in both variables, showing that adolescents, at least from the community, have not seen a change in their social and family relationships due to the health emergency
