Abstract
Purpose : To determine the psychosocial risk levels in adolescents attending school in Ambato, Ecuador. Method : We worked with a group of 302 adolescents between 14-18 years old, from four educational institutions. The assessment was made through the Self-Description Inventory (SDI) for adolescents. Results : The results showed that the levels of risk behaviors and situations are below the cut-off point at all levels evaluated. Men exhibited greater differences (t(203)=3.094, p < 0.001) than women in the health risk dimension. We identified two vulnerable subgroups in the risk assessment: 20% of participants in the school dimension and 17% of women in the family dimension. Conclusions : Family and individual psychological history constitutes a risk factor that is present in more risk behaviors and situations. The scope of these results in future prevention and intervention plans with Ecuadorian adolescents is discussed.
目的:确定厄瓜多尔安巴托地区上学青少年的心理社会风险水平。方法:我们研究了来自四个教育机构的302名14-18岁的青少年。采用青少年自我描述量表(SDI)进行评估。结果:各评价等级的危险行为和危险情况等级均低于分界点。在健康风险维度上,男性比女性差异更大(t(203)=3.094, p < 0.001)。我们在风险评估中确定了两个易受伤害的亚群体:20%的学校参与者和17%的家庭女性。结论:家庭和个人心理病史是存在于更多危险行为和情况中的危险因素。这些结果的范围,在未来的预防和干预计划与厄瓜多尔青少年进行了讨论。
