Proyecto de intervención para la disminución de los niveles de ansiedad por causa de la pandemia de la COVID-19 en jóvenes de primer semestre de psicología de una universidad privada de Quito 2021-2022

Abstract

The present systematization work was carried out to an intervention project, which was carried out with the objective of reducing anxiety levels in a group of university students who are studying the first year of the psychology degree. With this process, the aim is to understand the experience of group psychological intervention in order to extract the learning obtained during the intervention by the participants. The methodology used is qualitative, using the documentary analysis technique where the field diaries will be reviewed together with the empirical observation by the coordinators. The categories of analysis established in the project, which will be systematized, are: social skills, in which the young students avoided interacting with other students in the same group; healthy habits, due to poor nutrition or different eating times, lack of physical exercise and lastly the excessive use of social networks which indirectly affect the sleep/wake schedule; anxiety management, where the self-regulation of emotions and the recognition of anxiety states will be worked on. Finally, conclusions and recommendations are offered regarding the learning that was obtained during the intervention and systematization experience with the group of university students who demonstrated high levels of anxiety due to the COVID -19 pandemic.
