Item Detección temprana de alteraciones de salud mental en adolescentes escolarizados de una institución educativa pública en el corregimiento de Amaime - Palmira. 2022(2024) Hincapié Martínez, Cristian David; Jaramillo Paz, Laura Melisa; Maldonado Duarte, Anyela Katherine; Bedoya Sandoval, Juan Fernando (Director)This article aims to identify the risk of mental disorders among adolescents enrolled in a school in the municipality of Palmira. It is an exploratory, descriptive, and cross-sectional study conducted with students aged 16 to 17 from the rural area of Amaime. A 39-item instrument was used to assess demographic variables and indicators of mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, stress, suicidal ideation, alcohol abuse, and psychosis. Participants were guided to read and complete the questionnaire, and the data were processed using Excel and analyzed with SPSS version 27, focusing on frequencies and percentages. Most respondents were 16-year-old females, mestizo, from socioeconomic stratum 1, under a subsidized health regime, and enrolled in grade 11. The analysis showed that females exhibited more significant emotional, physical, and behavioral symptoms than males. Although no clinically significant findings were identified across the entire group, the study suggests that these adolescents live in environments conducive to healthy development. However, it concludes that females may be more predisposed to psychological disturbances, with elevated levels of stress, depression, and anxiety, indicating a potential risk for mental health disorders. Continuous and timely monitoring of adolescent psychological well-being is recommended.
