Funcionamiento familiar y su relación con la ansiedad en adolescentes

Abstract

Family dysfunction brings serious consequences for adolescents. One of the most characteristic symptoms is anxiety, which is why this research study aimed to determine the relationship between family functioning and anxiety levels. A quantitative and cross-sectional study was carried out, the sample was 90 participants from the "Capitán Giovanni Calles" Educational Unit. To collect data, the Family Functioning Questionnaire (FF-SIL) was applied to assess family functioning and the Trait-State Anxiety Scale (IDARE) to assess student anxiety. The SPSS program was applied to compare the two variables using Spearman's Rho Coefficient. The results allowed the researcher to conclude that there is no significant relationship between family functioning and anxiety. On the other hand, the Moderately Functional Family prevailed with 56.7%, the high level in State Anxiety with 43.3%. And the high level in Trait Anxiety with 62.2%.
