Resumen
El objetivo del estudio fue describir el ajuste psicológico en niños y adolescentes (n=14) entre
6 y 15 años que viven con VIH.
Estudio cuantitativo, con diseño
descriptivo. Se utilizó el Child
Symptom Checklist CBCL/6-18
adaptado a población latina para
evaluar el ajuste psicológico. La
escala de competencias en actividades sociales y escolares mostró
que el 79% de los participantes
se ubicaron en el rango clínico y
21% en el rango normal. El 43%
se ubicó en rango clínico, 36%
borderline y 21% en rango normal en la escala síndromes. Se
evidenció bajo nivel en las competencias sociales debido a poca
participación y habilidades, sin
vinculación a organizaciones de
carácter social, con red social
mínima y desempeño escolar por
fuera de lo esperado. Asimismo,
la mayoría de la muestra reflejó
problemas de conducta psicosomática, agresividad y ansiedad,
indicando un desajuste psicológico de tipo interiorizado y exteriorizado.
