Sistematización de experiencias: Plan preventivo contra las autolesiones no suicidas en adolescentes del Centro de Salud N° 7 de la ciudad de Guayaquil en el periodo de mayo a septiembre del 2023

Abstract

The development of emotional regulation in the adolescent stage is of great importance, since possessing the necessary skills and tools to deal with various problems that arise in this period of human development, contributes significantly to reduce various complications such as self-injurious behaviors in this population. Self-injurious behaviors are actions that result in death. On the other hand, non- suicidal self-injury (NSA) is present as a way of causing harm without the intention of death, and has become popular among adolescents as an escape from situations that cause emotional turmoil, which is why the implementation of actions aimed at the prevention of suicidal behaviors is essential.
