Vamping y dinámica familiar en adolescentes.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The investigation of descriptive and correlational type, with a population of 171 students, aims to determine the relationship between vamping and the family dynamics of adolescents of the "Francisco Flor" Educational Unit. Mobile devices have come to revolutionize society, especially the youngest, due to the various purposes they have, however, excessive use at night time generates drastic changes in daily activities, to the point of neglecting important aspects such as sleep, family and social relationships, academic performance and basic needs. For the execution of the research, a methodology with a quantitative approach was used, three previously validated questionnaires were used, for the independent variable the "Mobile Phone Dependence Test" was merged, consisting of the dimensions of abstinence, lack of control and derived problems and tolerance and interference with other activities with the "Oviedo Sleep Questionnaire", composed of subjective sleep satisfaction, insomnia and hypersomnia, and for the dependent variable, the "Family Functioning Perception Questionnaire" was used with the dimensions of adaptability, roles, affectivity, permeability, communication, harmony and cohesion. In the process of hypothesis testing, a positive correlation was demonstrated that determines that vamping has an impact on the family dynamics of adolescents, which reflected that a considerable number of students practice this technological phenomenon. In addition, cell phone dependence and sleep quality are factors that are related to family type, where problems are accentuated in severely dysfunctional families, and are reduced as household functionality improves.
