Resilience and nursing intervention in adolescents from an educational institution in a vulnerable area of Lima

Family relationships are very important during adolescence, as they allow the development of skills and behaviors that improve resilience. Therefore, the research objective is to determine resilience and nursing interventions in adolescents from an educational institution in a vulnerable area of Lima. This is a quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional study with a population of 571 adolescents who responded to a questionnaire on sociodemographic aspects and the Conno-Davidson resilience scale. The results showed that 157 (27.5%) of the adolescents had low resilience, 301 (52.7%) had medium resilience, and 113 (19.8%) had high resilience. In conclusion, family interventions should be considered to identify factors that put adolescents at risk in their early development.
