Proyecto psicoeducativo para reducir la ansiedad en adolescentes de un centro de salud en Guayaquil 2025

Abstract

This systematic review illustrates the evolution of the experience of the psychoeducational project "Melodies for Youth Well-being," carried out at the Friendly Services Club of the Puertas del Sol Health Center, located in the Pascuales parish of Guayaquil. The project focused on five young people aged 10 to 19 living in a vulnerable urban environment and presenting signs of anxiety, academic overload, difficulties managing emotions, and limited family support. The objective of the intervention was to minimize anxiety levels through the design of a psychoeducational project with therapeutic purposes focused on music therapy, carried out over six sessions, so the activities included relaxation, singing, improvised musical creation and expression of emotions through instruments, since to measure the effect the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) was applied as the first diagnostic test, accompanied by a structured observation guide that was applied during the therapeutic sessions and to give greater validity to this project, a professional focus group was held made up of professionals from the health center, which facilitated the qualitative analysis process in the implementation of data triangulation, in such a way that positive results were obtained in relation to the objectives set. Overall, the project demonstrated a beneficial effect on the majority of young people, promoting participation, emotional expression, and the use of self-regulation tools. The experience corroborated the effectiveness of music as a therapeutic tool in disadvantaged psychosocial settings and underscored the importance of early interventions that incorporate accessible, creative, and culturally relevant tactics to promote mental health in adolescents.
