Abstract
LOPEZ-GONZALEZ, Mónica María; BENAVIDES-PONCE, Magda Fernanda and BUITRAGO-MONTOYA, Ruby Marcela. Tensions in the daily life of university students: a study in three universities of Quindío. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2023, vol.21, n.3, pp.400-418. Epub Jan 19, 2024. ISSN 1692-715X. https://doi.org/10.11600/rlcsnj.21.3.6050.
Over time, the access of young people to the university has been greater; however, a series of factors can cause students to experience tensions during this transit that influence their overall health. Therefore, knowing what are the tensions that students experience in the university context constitutes a starting point for their well-being. A qualitative research with a phenomenological design was carried out, through focus groups and semi-structured interviews. The categorization was carried out with the IRaMuTeQ Software and its analysis using the content analysis technique. It was found that support networks can become agents of tension: family network, expectations regarding academic performance; social network, need to fit in and establish relationships, and university network, methodologies of some professors and lack of knowledge of infrastructure.
Keywords : University students; tensions; family network; social network; university network.
