Abstract

SALDANA, Claudia  and  LOERA, Luis de. Personal satisfaction of women in conditions of vulnerability of Ciudad Guzman, Jalisco. Rev. Univ. Ind. Santander. Salud [online]. 2017, vol.49, n.2, pp.312-318. ISSN 0121-0807.  https://doi.org/10.18273/revsal.v49n2-2017004.

Introduction:

The vulnerability conditions of specific sectors of population have to deal with circumstances that jeopardize their self-concept and personal satisfaction with their lifestyle.

Objective:

Evaluate the satisfaction levels of women in conditions of vulnerability in Ciudad Guzman, Jalisco, according to the self-perception of their life situation.

Methodology:

Correlational descriptive study implemented in June 2016. 122 beneficiary women answered the ISP-RELEBA instrument. The global score of dissatisfaction was compared with the vulnerability conditions and sociodemographic variables with a Pearson’s Chi-squared test.

Results:

The vulnerable sectors with highest personal dissatisfaction levels are lonely women and widows, followed by pregnant and breastfeeding women, whose educational levels do not cover the basic school.

Conclusion:

There are few initiatives to attend to the psychological problems of those involved. It is suggested a psychological assistant and social integration program which stimulate the individual progress of vulnerable women.

Keywords : Personal Satisfaction; health vulnerability; psychosocial factors; self-concept; professional autonomy.
