Abstract
VELASQUEZ-CORREA, Juan Carlos et al. Prevalence of non-resilience and associated factors in schoolchildren from a Colombian municipality 2019. Rev. Fac. Nac. Salud Pública [online]. 2022, vol.40, n.3, e02. Epub May 30, 2023. ISSN 0120-386X. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.rfnsp.e346304.
Objective:
To determine the prevalence of non-resilience and associated demographic, school, and family factors in schoolchildren in a Colombian municipality in 2019.
Methodology:
This is a cross-sectional study with twostage stratified probability sampling on a sample of 2,958 schoolchildren to whom the JJ46 questionnaire was administered. We calculated the prevalence of non-resilience and related it to the selected factors using 95% confidence intervals. Moreover, we constructed a binomial regression for non-resilience while controlling the independent variables that could potentially misidentify the relationship with the outcome.
Results:
A 58.4% prevalence of non-resilience was found, being higher in males (22.0%), from the urban area (29.0%), in the seventh grade (73.0%), and who had experienced some vulnerable event (40.0%), compared to females, from the rural area, in the ninth grade, and who had not experienced vulnerable events. The prevalence of non-resilience in males exceeded that of females by 20%. In 88% of cases, the most affectionate person to the schoolchild was another relative other than the parents.
Conclusions:
There is an urgent need to implement workshops in school programs for the promotion of resilience and to conduct a periodic assessment of resilience.
