Abstract

Is investigated the psychosocial impact of COVID-19 confinement on coping styles of boys and girls from 9 to 12 years old from the Francisco Jacome area 243-245 for the design of a psychosocial and community intervention proposal aimed at strengthening resilience. The methodology applied is a qualitative approach, with a field intervention design (virtual), bibliographic-documentary, at an exploratory level; the study sample consisted of 22 participants; the instruments applied were survey, focus group and questionnaire. The results show that, in some cases, the adaptive strategies of active solution and positive reappraisal used prior the confinement by a large percentage of children decreased moderately after confinement. Thus, it is also observed that there was a moderate increase in unproductive coping such as aggressiveness and behavioral avoidance.
