AUTOESTIMA Y RECUPERACIÓN PARA LA REINSERCIÓN SOCIAL EN MUJERES DEL CENTRO DE REHABILITACIÓN SOCIAL DE PORTOVIEJO

Abstract

Self-esteem establishes a significant relationship in psychosocial processes. The prison context generates tensions and psychological effects that harm the individual's self-perception. This study sought to determine the influence of self-esteem and recovery for the social reintegration of women deprived of liberty of the Center for Social Rehabilitation of Portoviejo. The methodology used was descriptive, with a qualitative approach with support in the quantitative paradigm, a quasi-experimental method. The Rosemberg Self-Esteem Scale was used to establish self-esteem levels in 100 women deprived of liberty. The results denoted an index of low self-esteem of the inmates. The interview with those responsible for the treatment area confirmed the limited intervention in the procedure to strengthen self-perception. This social rehabilitation center requires the application of a more effective protocol that guarantees the restoration and protection of mental health of female prisoners. It is necessary to deepen the subject because there is little research where the variables studied are related.
