Resilience and family violence in Peruvian adolescents from youth rehabilitation centers

The objective of this research is to determine the relationship, as a correlation, between family violence and resilience in adolescents in medium-open youth centers in Lima, 2019. The research was developed under a quantitative approach. with an applied cross-.sectional design in 132 adolescents whose ages range between 15 and 21 years of age. The results determined that the presence of abuse in the family environment is weak and significant related to the ability to overcome adversity (r =, -356), that is, the greater the violence within the family group, the lower the individual's ability to overcome unfavorable situations. Furthermore, the relationship is weak and significant between family violence and resilience factors, except for those which refer to models, learning and generativity. The same thing happens with resilience in the dimensions of family violence: physical and psychological.Therefore, a comparison between violence and resilience according to age was made, obtaining as a result that there are significant differences in relation to resilience according to age (p = 0.025). Similarly, there are differences between identity, autonomy, satisfaction, pragmatism and networks in favor of the elderly. It is concluded that there is a statistically significant and inverse relationship between family violence and resilience.
