Calidad de vida y sintomatología ansiosa en adolescentes de una unidad educativa de la ciudad de Quito en el período 2023-2024.

Abstract

Adolescents are the population whose quality of life is mostly affected by being exposed to situations that generate an emotional state that becomes unpleasant in situations over which they have no control, such as the economic aspect, physical health, social relations and the environment, which is reflected in feelings of discomfort such as anxiety and nervousness. Therefore, the main objective of this research project is to analyze the relationship between anxiety symptomatology and quality of life in adolescents of an educational unit through a non-experimental design of cross-sectional quantitative type in a sample of 84 students between women and men of which (53.6%) are 16 years old and (46.4%) are 17 years old, chosen through a non-probabilistic intentional sampling. From the identification of this problem, the need to recognize the relationship between the quality of life of adolescents and the presence of anxiety symptomatology was identified, so this proposal is structured from the data derived from the WOQOL-BREF Quality of Life scale and the Beck Anxiety Inventory, where the results showed that with 95% confidence there is a low inversely proportional (negative) relationship.
