Análisis comparativo del nivel de resiliencia durante el confinamiento producto de la pandemia por COVID-19 entre adultos de una comunidad rural del cantón Pedro Moncayo y una urbana del cantón Quito de la provincia de Pichincha – Ecuador.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to compare the level of resilience during confinement as a result of the covid-19 pandemic of adults in a rural community in the Pedro Móncayo canton with adults in an urban community in the Quito canton of the Province of Pichincha – Ecuador. Considering that we have worked from the determination of the problem and the referential theoretical framework that is conformed by the theoretical support of the three variables of study that are “confinement”; “resilience”; and “urban and rural community”, which concern the studied topic. For this study a quantitative research of descriptive and exploratory scope was used, and it had a sample of 192 participants among adult men and women from 18 to 64 years of age. Only one instrument was used for data collection, the Connor and Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), to measure the level of resilience with its five corresponding dimensions. The results obtained showed that most of the adults in the residential complex “Los Cedros” consider themselves to have a low level of resilience, in contrast to the great majority of adults in the “Santa Mónica” commune who present a high level of resilience. Thus, it was possible to verify the proposed research hypothesis.
