Factores que inciden en la violencia intrafamiliar en los estudiantes de bachillerato de la Unidad Educativa Fiscomisional “Río Cenepa”, Morona Santiago-Ecuador

Abstract

Domestic violence, a phenomenon that transcends various social spheres and significantly affects family structures, is a universal problem that manifests itself in all social classes, cultures, religions, ethnicities, nationalities, and sexual orientations. This type of violence can include physical, psychological, and emotional abuse and has severe and lasting repercussions on the health and wellness of individuals and families. This problem not only deteriorates personal and family relationships but also has a deep impact on the psychosocial development and academic performance of the victims, especially children and adolescents. The objective of the study was to identify domestic violence and its influence on psychosocial factors and academic performance in high school students of the “Río Cenepa” High School in Morona Santiago, Ecuador. These findings show the importance of addressing the emotional and academic effects of domestic violence to develop effective intervention strategies that can improve children’s wellness and school performance. The research managed to identify the presence of domestic violence and its influence on psychosocial factors and the academic performance of students. A correlation was found between domestic violence and psychosocial factors; another significant correlation was evident between emotional wellness and academic performance, and also between domestic violence at home and academic performance. There is a need to implement intervention strategies that address domestic, psychosocial, and academic violence.
