Psicoeducación para el desarrollo del autocuidado emocional de los y las adolescentes habitantes de Bastión Popular Bloque 10D

Abstract

The present systematization of experience is titled Psychoeducation for the Development of Emotional Self-Care of Adolescents Living in Bastión Popular Block 10D, which aims to characterize the psychoeducational process for the development of emotional self-care, and thus improve future community interventions by . of the practitioners. The receiving community is located in the popular bastion block 10D in the city of Guayaquil, where 8 adolescents from the sector were present. For this project, we worked from the cognitive-behavioral approach to address emotional self-care. Emotional self-care is defined as the management of emotions for well-being, while emotions are classified as healthy and unhealthy, first, secondary and complex. The methodology implemented was qualitative descriptive which was used for data collection, using daily records, learning recovery sheets and focus group. There were seven psychoeducational talks that were held virtually due to the current situation in the country. A positive response from the adolescents could be identified, although they faced different challenges such as the loss of connectivity due to weather situations and also low participation in some talks by the adolescents. This work highlights the importance of addressing the emotional needs of adolescents and provides a solid foundation for future research and practice in the field of emotional self-care in adolescents.
