Abstract

Anxiety is a response to situations of fear or danger, this can be categorized as normal when stressful situations occur, however, when feelings are excessive and have no specific cause, it is called pathological anxiety. According to several studies, the rate of adolescents who present anxiety is high, due to the fact that they are exposed to constant situations of fear and uncertainty. The present project analyzes and identifies the index of adolescents who present anxiety in the Reference Center "Mi Patio" located in the sector of Chillogallo. For the collection of information, quantitative and qualitative methods were used from a mixed approach, where it was identified that of the 30 adolescents who participated in the intervention, 100% present anxiety, however, in the tools applied to identify it, it classifies anxiety in mild anxiety, moderate anxiety and severe anxiety. From the results obtained in the Hamilton Anxiety Scale, it was found that 23.3% of adolescents between 13-17 years old and in the results of the Beck Anxiety Inventory it was found that 13.3% of adolescents between 13-17 years old have severe anxiety; additionally, the Sacks Incomplete Sentences Test was applied to show anxiety in adolescents of 12 years old to identify hostilities, fears and attitudes related to anxiety.
