Resumen
El objetivo principal de la presente investigación fue describir la salud percibida en un grupo de mujeres que participan en una Asociación, a través de la cual reciben apoyo psicosocial. Las participantes fueron 62 mujeres, cuyas edades fluctuaron entre los 18 y 60 años, quienes se capacitan en dicha institución en talleres técnicos productivos y, a la vez, estudian en la modalidad Centro de Educación Básica Alternativa (CEBA). El presente estudio es de tipo cuantitativo transversal, ya que el instrumento se aplicó en un único momento en el tiempo. Para medir la salud percibida se utilizó el cuestionario de salud SF-36v2 (Ware, John & Sherbourne, 1992). Los resultados mostraron que la mayoría de las mujeres calificaban su salud como “buena” o “muy buena”. En las dimensiones del SF-36v2 se obtuvieron niveles promedio, lo que indica que las mujeres perciben su salud en un nivel funcional que les permite realizar sus actividades cotidianas. En relación con las variables sociodemográficas y la salud percibida, se encontró que a mayor edad, las participantes reportaron mayor vitalidad. Asimismo, las mujeres con estudios universitarios mostraron una mejor percepción de su salud, especialmente en la dimensión de salud mental. Finalmente, las participantes solteras, madres solteras o separadas obtuvieron puntuaciones más altas en las escalas de salud general, salud mental y dolor corporal, en comparación con las mujeres casadas o convivientes.
The main objective of this study was to describe the perceived health of a group of women who receive psychosocial support through a private association. The participants were 62 women aged between 18 and 60 who take part in productive technical workshops and attend classes under the Alternative Basic Education Center (CEBA) modality. This was a cross-sectional quantitative study, as the instrument was applied only once. Perceived health was measured using the SF-36v2 health questionnaire (Ware, John & Sherbourne, 1992). The results showed that most of the women rated their health as “good” or “very good.” Average scores were obtained on the SF-36v2 subscales, indicating that participants perceive their health at a functional level that allows them to carry out daily activities. Regarding sociodemographic variables and perceived health, it was found that older participants reported higher vitality. Women with university education reported better health perception, particularly in the mental health dimension. Finally, participants who were single, single mothers, or separated scored higher in general health, mental health, and bodily pain scales compared to married or cohabiting women.
