Resumen
El presente trabajo aborda el impacto emocional que enfrentan las mujeres que trabajan como modelos webcam en Colombia, analizando los factores que afectan su salud mental y bienestar. El objetivo principal es examinar los efectos tanto positivos como negativos que esta actividad tiene sobre la autopercepción, el estrés y las emociones de las trabajadoras. Además, se exploran las complejidades de su entorno laboral y las estrategias que emplean para afrontar las presiones asociadas a su profesión.
En primer lugar, se abordan los antecedentes de investigaciones previas sobre el modelaje webcam, señalando su relación con la prostitución, la autopercepción, el empoderamiento y la salud emocional. Según Moya Albarracín y Gómez Carrillo (2023), esta actividad puede proporcionar autonomía y flexibilidad laboral; Sin embargo, también conlleva desafíos significativos como la cosificación y la presión para mantener ciertas apariencias. Estas dificultades, como señalan Saavedra Morris (2020) y Quijano Mantilla et al.

En el marco teórico, se destacan conceptos fundamentales como la autopercepción, que refleja cómo las trabajadoras se valoran a sí mismas en función de su experiencia laboral (Fernández Morales, 2022); el trabajo emocional, que implica gestionar sentimientos en entornos laborales exigentes (Quintero Chaves, 2021); y la salud mental, analizada desde una perspectiva integral, incluyendo factores psicológicos, emocionales y sociales (Marmól Barrios et al., 2023). También se incluyen enfoques teóricos sobre la prostitución y el género, subrayando cómo las normas sociales y las expectativas culturales influyen en la percepción y las experiencias de las mujeres en este campo (Contreras Araujo et al., 2023).
La metodología cualitativa de la investigación, basada en entrevistas semiestructuradas y observación, permitió obtener información detallada sobre las experiencias de las trabajadoras. Fernández Morales (2022) destaca que estas herramientas son clave para comprender las emociones y perspectivas únicas de las participantes. En este estudio, se exploraron temas como la motivación económica, el empoderamiento, la presión social y familiar, y el estrés laboral. Los resultados reflejan que, aunque las mujeres webcam encuentran estabilidad económica y una sensación de empoderamiento, enfrentan un conflicto constante entre sus logros financieros y las expectativas sociales que pesan sobre ellas.
Los hallazgos revelan que estas mujeres emplean estrategias como la evasión y la distracción para mitigar el impacto emocional de su trabajo. Sin embargo, estas tácticas, aunque útiles a corto plazo, podrían afectar su identidad y bienestar a largo plazo. A pesar de las críticas sociales y familiares, las trabajadoras demuestran una notable resiliencia, desarrollan mecanismos para manejar el estrés y seguir adelante con sus metas laborales.
