Design of a protocol to develop resilient skills in students of the Proezas Integral Development Center

Abstract

The design of this research project has as its fundamental purpose the design of a protocol to promote the development of resilience in a population of children and adolescents from 9 to 14 years of age. A non-experimental, descriptive research was carried out with 67 NNA (volunteer subjects) from the Integral Development Center ES/976 to offer a response to the detected needs and suggest lines of work and research in future interventions. The level of resilience was obtained by applying the Scale of School Resilience (Salvadoran) in which the protective and risk factors of the participating population were determined. It was also identified that of the entire population evaluated, 49% (average 12 years) obtain a low level of resilience (percentiles from 1 to 25). The dimensions of ERE-S with predominance in low scores (risk factors) are related to generativity-learning, external resources, networks-models. The areas that can be enhanced, because their predominance is in average scores (protective factors), are identity-self-esteem and internal resources. In conclusion, the importance of developing resilient skills in children and adolescents (from 9 to 14 years old) is observed through a model based on ACT and MVR, in which aspects such as pain and suffering will always be present in the life of the human being.
