Estrategias de afrontamiento en familias monoparentales del ICBF de San Martin - Meta

Abstract

This research has a qualitative approach and aims to understand the coping strategies implemented by (3) single-parent families headed by women in the Municipality of San Martin- Meta. The phenomenon will be understood from a constructionist epistemology, which facilitates the understanding of the relationships of the family system and how they face their daily challenges. The paradigm is that of complexity given from its three principles: dialogical, holographic and recursive, analyzing the realities of each family system from different perspectives. This research gives an understanding of the participants in how they have developed reciprocal parenting guidelines with authority with their children, which has helped to have good communication and closeness in the mother- child relationship; the participants have the support of the family welfare Institute (ICBF) that although they have support, it is not enough when having to fulfill the role of father and mother at the same time, leaving an emotional overload and few spaces for self- care in them.
