Estrés académico y su relación con la resiliencia en adolescentes

Abstract

Academic stress is known as an increase of tension in students due to different factors present at the time of learning, causing damage to their mental health. On the other hand, resilience is a person's ability to cope with difficulties, which could be related to academic stress. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a relationship between these variables in adolescents. For this purpose, 120 adolescent students from the city of Salcedo - Ecuador, between 14 and 17 years of age, used the Systemic Cognitive Inventory (SISCO SV21 Inventory) and the Wagnild & Young Resilience Scale. In the results it was found that most of the adolescents presented levels of academic stress between moderate and severe, in addition, significant differences were observed in gender since the female gender presented greater stress, on the other hand, it was found that most adolescents presented degrees of resilience between very low and medium. Finally, a slight positive correlation was obtained between the two variables, which means that as academic stress increases, so does resilience.
