Victimización múltiple femenino: Historias de la vida, depresión, estrategias de coping
Resumen
La investigación documenta la existencia de una relación entre la victimización múltiple y mayor complejidad en la sintomatología. Sin embargo, hay mujeres expuestas a adversidad acumulada que no desarrollan problemas de ajuste psicológico. Este estudio trata de identificar las estrategias de coping de las mujeres ante la victimización múltiple sufrida durante toda la vida. Las 30 entrevistas semiestructuradas acerca de sus historias de vida fueron sometidas a un análisis temático. Los resultados patentizan la presencia de un coping diverso, heterogéneo y espontáneo, que se caracteriza por ser activo (por ejemplo, la resolución de problemas, la autoconfianza, la búsqueda de apoyo social). Las mujeres con y sin síntomas depresivos expresan estrategias de coping centralizadas en la resolución de problemas ante la victimización. Los resultados refuerzan la necesidad de, en los procesos de apoyo, se identificar y desarrollar esas estrategias activadas autónomamente por las víctimas con el fin de favorecer su adaptación psicológica.Descargas
