Influencia de la violencia intrafamiliar en el rendimiento académico de los hijos de las víctimas que acuden a un Centro de Atención Integral en la ciudad de Cayambe desde la perspectiva de las madres.

Abstract

Domestic violence is a social problem that transcends the private sphere and can affect the academic and emotional development of children and adolescents. In this context, the present research aimed to analyze the relationship between domestic violence and the academic performance of the children of women receiving care at the Comprehensive Care Center in the Cayambe canton, using an ecological-systemic approach. The study adopted a quantitative approach, with a non-experimental, cross-sectional design, applying a structured questionnaire to 93 mothers who were victims of domestic violence through census sampling. The results showed that a significant majority perceive that violence influences school performance, with decreased performance, concentration difficulties, absenteeism, and behavioral problems identified in a significant proportion of students. The relational analysis showed a correlation between the presence of domestic violence and academic and behavioral manifestations in the school environment. From an ecological-systemic perspective, it was interpreted that disruption of the family system impacts the educational system, affecting cognitive and behavioral processes related to learning. It is concluded that domestic violence is associated with conditions of academic vulnerability, which highlights the need for comprehensive interventions that link family, school and institutional social work.
