Intervención psicosocial en estudiantes jóvenes a través del deporte. Un estudio mixto

Community intervention allows everyday situations to be integrated and linked to concepts of peace and conflict resolution, helping to strengthen protective factors related to violence among young people within the framework of the Pazegol strategy (Golombiao® by UNICEF). To this end, a mixed-method exploratory study was conducted with qualitative-to-quantitative data transformation (QUAL→QUAN), non-probabilistic, intentional sampling, convenience sampling, with the voluntary participation of 87 school students with an average age of 14.87 years (57.5% female, 42.5% male), applying the Characterization Form, the Antisocial-Delinquent Behavior Questionnaire (A-D), and the Perception Survey. As a result, adolescents do not exhibit antisocial or delinquent behaviors (with no statistically significant differences between sexes: antisocial behaviors t (85) = 1.04, p = .302, d = 0.23; criminal behaviors t (85) = -0.43, p = .668, d = -0.09). The risk factors found are bullying, the sale and consumption of psychoactive substances, and negligent/authoritarian parents, although these are not statistically significant. The intervention plan was carried out to strengthen protective factors in a total of seven sessions, taking the principles of the strategy as a reference. It was evaluated with a perception survey, which was rated as excellent. Sport is considered a protective factor in adolescence against various types of violence. Therefore, psychosocial intervention programs should incorporate sports activities to promote these factors.
