Estrategias de afrontamiento frente a los conflictos materno-filiales de madres estudiantes de psicología de la universidad seccional Villavicencio.

Abstract

This research aims to understand the coping strategies against maternal-filial conflicts of student mothers linked to the Universidad Santo Tomás Villavicencio section. The line of Institutional Research that directs this study is called Psychosocial Approaches at the Regional Level. A qualitative approach was used with a narrative methodological design, which is framed in the interpretive paradigm, with a phenomenological epistemology. The semi-structured interview was applied as a data collection tool, which was carried out in four individual sessions with four participants between 18 and 24 years of age. In the mothers' stories it is found that mother-child conflicts can be triggered by situations such as problems with other family members, parenting patterns and stressors. Likewise, mothers look for strategies according to the needs of the child-rearing process, to solve the problem, how to define the problem, find its cause, and when the strategy used does not work, they look for alternative strategies to resolve conflicts with their parents. children, although in some cases physical violence is resorted to, for one mother it is normal and she approves of it, another recognizes that at some stage she was very violent with her children but is no longer so, now she prefers dialogue. It is believed that being psychology students allows them to understand the needs of their children in a reflective way, in this way, they can use appropriate coping strategies when faced with conflicts, although sometimes they are affected by stressful situations, which they do not deal with adequately. and this results in exhaustion, therefore, they can resort to abuse to respond to conflicts that arise.
