Afrontamiento familiar y su relación con el bienestar infantil y familiar: estudio sobre familias en condición de vulnerabilidad

The objective of this study was to establish the relationship between the perception of family coping strategies and the perception of family and child well-being in families in vulnerable conditions. The research is quantitative with a cross-sectional analytical design. 113 families were evaluated through questionnaires on family coping and well-being; the children also completed a child welfare inventory. Results showed that children report the highest moderate average score in family well-being, followed by fathers and finally mothers. For family coping, mothers demonstrated higher average coping levels, followed by fathers and children. Bivariate correlations indicated significant relationships between child well-being (IBI), family coping coping (Family Coping Index -FAMCI), and perceived general well-being. The discussion focuses on the mother as a promoter of well-being within the family, the stressors that families suffer and the relationship with experiences of displacement in the past that influence the selected coping strategies.
