Percepciones sobre los factores que originan y perpetúan la institucionalización en adolescentes entre 12 a 17 años : casos de estudio de una institución de acogimiento en la ciudad de Guayaquil.

Abstract

The present research aims to "know the causes that originate and perpetuate institutionalization from the perspectives of adolescents and the technical team of the home". To carry out the present study, the qualitative research method was applied, since it was based on knowing the perspectives and experiences of the adolescents and the technical team regarding institutionalization. The population of children and adolescents belongs to the group of the most vulnerable, however, this research intervened with adolescents who have undergone drastic changes due to institutionalization. Through this research we were able to know the different perspectives, both positive and negative, from the adolescents and the technical team. In addition, it is evident that the institution does not have an established methodology to intervene in the family reintegration processes, which could be a reason why no adolescent has been reintegrated into her consanguineous or extended family.
