Item Impacto del machismo interiorizado en hombres entre 15 y 24 años(2025) Cáceres Ocoró, Emmanuel; Arrechea Caicedo, Kevin Johan; Espitia Laguna, María José; Alzate Velásquez, Natalia (Asesora)This study analyzes how internalized machismo affects young men between the ages of 15 and 24 in vulnerable contexts such as the communities of Cali. They face realities marked by poverty, violence, and social exclusion. Masculinity is constructed under traditional mandates that promote control, harshness, and emotional repression. This generates significant impacts on young people's emotional health and social relationships. A qualitative documentary review was conducted of 30 academic studies—10 local, 10 national, and 10 international—taken from databases such as Scielo, Redalyc, and Google Scholar. Keywords related to internalized machismo, masculinities, gender violence, and social representations were used. The documents were analyzed using a state-of-the-art matrix. The findings reveal that young men reproduce macho models due to social pressure, a lack of alternative role models, and as a protection mechanism in a host environment. However, experiences of change were also identified. Some young people are beginning to question these models through community, educational, and artistic spaces. It is concluded that transforming masculinities requires a collective intervention through social work with institutional, community, and pedagogical support. Reflecting on internalized machismo at this sensitive stage of a young person's life is necessary to build more equitable relationships, prevent gender-based aggression, and foster a more empathetic and emotionally diverse society.Item Identidad, género y encierro en adolescentes en conflictos con la ley(2025) Pantoja Pay, Greys; Cárdenas Jiménez, Alejandra; Villa Molina, Yorlady; Alzate Velásquez, Natalia (Asesora)This article aims to analyze adolescent incarceration and symbolic exclusion, the formation of identity in adolescents under the custody of the (SRPA) Special Program for Adolescent Responsibility, and the construction of gender stereotypes in contexts of confinement. It highlights that these young individuals face significant disruptions that affect their development, due to the lack of positive relationships and the reproduction of violent male role models. The study is based on a documentary review of research published between 2018 and 2024, using a qualitative hermeneutic approach. An analytical review matrix was used to organize the information according to criteria such as language, year, and keywords. The results indicate that many of these adolescents have experienced social exclusion, lack of institutional support, and family problems, which directly impact their identity. In detention centers, rigid gender stereotypes are observed, where sensitivity is punished and masculinity is associated with control and violence. Based on these observations, it is concluded that the identity of young people is formed in connection with their environment, including institutions and social messages. The lack of freedom not only limits their physical movement but also affects their ability to understand and experience life independently.Item Experiencia de dos familias en torno a un integrante con adiccion a sustancias psicoactivas(2023) Diaz Vega, Nathalia Andrea; Hernandez Amu, Amy Yireth; Suescun Ramirez, Nicole; Granja Escobar, Luis Carlos (Director)This undergraduate degree work presents a qualitative research study with a phenomenological approach, aimed at exploring the experiences of two families in relation to the rehabilitation of a member with addiction to psychoactive substances.

Information was collected through interviews with relatives of the drug-dependent person, which were transcribed and analyzed according to the established objectives and proposed contextual, theoretical, and conceptual frameworksItem Análisis de la participación ciudadana durante el paro nacional de 2021 según lo presentado en noticias uno.(2023) Montoya Galeano, Isabella; Ramírez Burbano, Diana Margarita; Muñoz Joven, Luis Armando (Director)In this degree work, an analysis is carried out on citizen participation in the face of the national strike of 2021 in the month of May, with the objective of knowing the discursive practices of the participation of social actors in the broadcasts of the Colombian channel Noticias Uno. It was thought from the qualitative approach, taking into account the variables of citizen participation, social movements and the right to protest based on different perspectives of authors, to finally think about its emphasis on social work. The method of analysis of media discourses allowed us to understand the gaze of Noticias Uno from a neutral point of view, according to the typologies of the communication medium. It is concluded that citizen participation is achieved from different actors politically involved in the social contract and that citizen mobilization is demanded, in which the media served as rapporteur of the sequence of events of participation. 8 Keywords: Social work, citizen participation, national strike, demonstrations.Item Los/as jóvenes de puerto resistencia en la protesta social en colombia 2021.(2023) Cortes Viveros, Daniel; Gutiérrez Montilla, Maycol Filleraldt; Sinisterra Paz, Esteban; Chacón Gironza, Laura Sofía (Directora)The protagonists of the 2021 National Strike were many, and of different age groups, but mainly young people. These young people who came out to protest did not belong to the traditional organizations that represent them in Colombia. The majority belonged to marginal locations of the country, like little municipals, remote neighborhoods, community groups, youths on the block and in the parks, etc. This article presents a description of the participation of young people in Santiago de Cali in particular, in the context of Puerto Resistencia, which became a symbolic place for protests, acquiring the connotation of "resistance". The objective is to know the subjective constructions that led young people to participate in the social protest in Puerto Resistencia during the demonstrations of the National Strike of 2021. One of the findings of the research is related to the evidence of how young people, through their education, awaken an awareness of a socio-cultural reality that shapes their lives, and affirm themselves as conscious subjects. It is concluded that young people are of great relevance in the national political and social agenda, demonstrating that there is not only electoral power, but also popular power where the latter achieves a subjective structural change both at a personal and collective level.Item Abordaje Psicosocial en Salud Mental(2023) Duque Carvajal, Lina María; Martínez Rodas, Liliana; Quintero Parra, Isabella; Giraldo Henao, CarolinaAlzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. It is a degenerative neurological disorder that progresses over time and has no cure. Its main indicator is memory loss for recent events, but as it progresses, other symptoms may emerge such as lack of interest, sadness, mood swings, restlessness, irrational thoughts, wandering, and in some cases, moments of aggression. This study aimed to investigate to raise awareness about the burden of caregivers of patients with Alzheimer's, to analyze this approach the study was based on analyzing four categories: the effects of caring for a patient with Alzheimer's, feminization and familiarization of care, the coping strategies to overtake the care and care of the caregiver as preventive and accompaniment programs. The method used was a systematic review through searches in the Scopus, Sage Journals, Science Direct databases of the library repository of the Santiago de Cali University between the years 2019 and 2023. In conclusion, caring for a patient with Alzheimer's is a challenge that requires dedication, patience, and understanding. Caregivers play a crucial role in providing emotional, physical and practical support to patients. It is important for carers to take care of themselves, greater awareness and support from society at large is required to ensure that carers receive the necessary support in their important work.Item El estigma de la madre soltera: una revisión documental de su impacto en la sociedad y en la vida de las mujeres(2023) Alvarez Ramirez, Karol Anett; Ardila Guzmán, María Isabel; Amú Molina, Gloria Andrea; Giraldo Henao, CarolinaThis article presents the vision of single motherhood and the dimensions that affect the female gender in this analysis that was compiled in a review of forty-nine academic documents, covered by research projects, degree and master's theses, scientific articles, which 48% were written in Spanish and 41% in English. The tracking of these documents was made in 17 databases (opened and closed), from different countries and continents such as America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, for their analysis 49 files were prepared with the objective of collecting information on women. single mothers and respectively; The review made visible how society stigmatizes women who are single mothers and how this has a particular impact on their self-perception, their physical and mental health, as well as economic and labor. Finally, we recognize the importance of motivating people to denature and deconstruct gender roles that influence and have a relevant impact on mothers and their childrenItem Impacto de las sustancias psicoactivas en las familias según su experiencia(2024) Sanchez Caicedo, Yuliana Maria; Lopez Franco, Luis Esteban; Gil Claros, Maria Fernanda (Director)This thesis addresses a qualitative research with a phenomenological approach, the purpose of which is to explore the experiences of two families in which one of its members is involved in the consumption of psychoactive substances. The main objective is to understand the perspectives, relate the experiences and analyze the reflections of the members of these families regarding the situation experienced. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews directed to the relatives of the individual affected by dependence on psychoactive substances. Subsequently, these interviews were transcribed and analyzed according to the objectives set out in addition to the established contextual, legal and theoretical frameworks; the responses to the interviews revealed how these personal experiences have generated important changes in the lives of the interviewees, for example, some adopting habits such as smoking or facing anxiety crises and persistent fears, while others have reconfigured their beliefs and behaviors, showing themselves more open to substance use in certain cases. These experiences highlight the need to address the consumption of psychoactive substances in a comprehensive manner, considering both the individual and their family environment, promoting empathy, mutual support and providing adequate resources to face these challenges in an effective and healthy way.Item Impactos socio familiares en consumidores de sustancias psicoactivas en los usuarios de alma CAD, Valle del Cauca(2024) Arévalo Osorio, Alexa; Morales Valencia, Mariana; Trochez Martinez, Yennifer; Melo Lopez, Diana Paola (Director)The following chapter of research aims to identify the socio-family impacts generated by the consumption of psychoactive substances in users of the Alma CAD rehabilitation center located in the township of Borrero Ayerbe, based on specific objectives, such as analyzing the impact of the consumption of psychoactive substances on communication and the dynamics of family relationships; to determine coping patterns and strategies in affected families and finally, to understand the socio-family context and family changes associated with the consumption of psychoactive substances. Finally, the findings showed that positive family relationships, characterized by affective bonding and emotional support, can be protective factors that minimize the likelihood of drug use. However, poor assertive communication and family cohesion are related to an increased risk of psychoactive substance use. The research highlights that the consumption of psychoactive substances changes the perception of reality, which is associated with family patterns of consumption and communication problems, which increases the risk of addictive behaviors.Item Violencia de genero: feminicidios en contextos familiares en Colombia(2024) Toro Tumal, Daniela Alejandra; Velez Barrera, Diana Carolina; Gonzalez Martinez, Luisa Tatiana; Samboni Vallejo, Adriana (Director)Femicides in Colombia are a scourge that affects thousands of women, adolescents and girls, this being one of the most serious consequences of gender violence at the national level. After conducting a bibliographic analysis of 30 research articles and taking into account a time frame of 5 years and three major categories for the search, which were: gender violence, femicides and family, it became evident that this problem has great consequences in family contexts, generating psychological damage to the indirect victims, it was also identified that there are several causes of femicide such as jealousy, psychosocial factors and inefficiency in the Colombian judicial system which are determinants for these actions against women to be generated. Likewise, it became evident that the term “patriarchy” is closely related to this problem since it was a constant that was evidenced in the articles analyzed through the selection of three subcategories which were: causes of femicide, consequences at the family level and patriarchy. Taking into account the above, the objective of this literature review article was based on the analysis of the possible causes and consequences of femicide in family contexts in Colombia.Item Trébol de efectos: el impacto profundo de la violencia familiar en el desarrollo de los adolescentes(2024) Rodriguez Nicole Dayan; Jimenez , Ingrid Yiced; Arias Florez, Juana Valentina; Samboni Vallejo, Adriana (Director)Domestic violence is a persistent phenomenon that affects multiple dimensions of human development, this representing a serious risk for those who suffer from it. The World Health Organization (WHO) has highlighted domestic violence as a priority public health problem due to its immediate and long-term negative consequences. This problem is especially critical during adolescence, a period of significant biological, psychological and social changes that can be deeply marked by violence. Adolescents, as a vulnerable group, often internalize it. This article seeks to contribute to the understanding of these impacts. Through the methodology of documentary analysis, the bibliographic review technique and the hermeneutic paradigm, collecting studies carried out between 2018 and 2024. Using the Specialized Analytical Review (RAE) matrix to organize the information in a structured way. The results highlight that psychological and physical violence are the most common forms of abuse in the family environment, generating behavioral effects in adolescents such as aggression and the normalization of violence, as well as cognitive problems related to learning and memory. In the emotional sphere, these adolescents present high levels of stress, low self-esteem and a greater risk of psychopathologiesItem Rol ético-político del trabajador social en los programas de promoción y prevención de la mortalidad materna(2024) Calle Cortes, Angie Marcela; Gil Claros, Maria Fernanda (Director)Background: Maternal Mortality is highly relevant in the context of public health in Latin America, highlighting the importance of reducing the high rates that still persist over the years. The objective of this work is to analyze the ethical and political role of the social worker in the promotion and prevention programs aimed at maternal mortality in Latin America, highlighting the results obtained and the challenges they have faced according to the bibliographic review. Methods: Bibliographic review of scientific articles consulting academic databases such as Pubmed, Scopus, Web Of, Science and Google Scholar. Reports from international organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) were also included, taking into account all the articles that included or talked about Maternal Morbidity and Mortality and eliminating the rest. Results: The selected articles, which in total were 30, as the literature is reviewed, the results obtained from the different sources are compared to identify patterns, trends or discrepancies in the data in order to compare how the role of the social worker has been in each country and how this has impacted positively or negatively. Conclusions: The review of the literature on maternal morbidity and mortality in Latin America between 2010 and 2020 reveals that, despite advances in prenatal care and access to health services, significant challenges persist that contribute to unacceptable rates of maternal mortality, but this is where the role of the social worker in promotion and prevention programs is highlighted and how they work day by day to mitigate some of these problems, taking into account that in places where extreme poverty exists, they lack economic resources for access to health services, much less have knowledge about the ethical and political role of the social workerItem Barreras en el camino: limitantes en la búsqueda de apoyo por parte de mujeres víctimas de violencia familiar(2024) Quiñones Casierra, Lesly Yuleisy; Renteria Murillo, Keisy Yileni; Villada Guapacha, Enyi Tatiana; Samboni Vallejo, Adriana (Director)This bibliographic review article analyzes the barriers presented by women victims of family violence in Colombia, pointing out how structural factors such as machismo and gender inequality make it difficult for victims to access timely care. In marginalized communities, this problem is intensified by the lack of institutional protection, thus perpetuating a cycle of abuse and normalization of violent behavior in the home. The research adopts a qualitative hermeneutic approach to interpret relevant texts, using the documentary review method and selects 36 studies in relation to the topic. These studies suggest that power and control dynamics affect both women and their children, who, growing up in a violent environment, may replicate these patterns in their future relationships. Therefore, the objective was to understand the affective and emotional barriers that hinder access to support resources for women victims of family violence in Colombia. Among the most important findings, the impact of emotional dependence and control on women's family dynamics stands out, which contributes to their isolation and limits access to support services.Item Rompiendo el silencio: análisis de la violencia contra los hombres(2024) Carabali Lasso, Wanda Dayelly; Quiñones Garces, Diana Marcela; Sánchez preciado, Oscar; Samboni Vallejo, Adriana (Director)This article called “Breaking the silence: Analysis of violence against men”, is based on a documentary review on violence against men; a topic that has historically received less attention but that deserves to be analyzed carefully. Violence against men in the context of couple relationships in Latin America is a frequently underestimated and under-researched phenomenon; Traditionally, the narrative about domestic violence has been dominated by the image of women as victims and men as aggressors. However, recent research has begun to shed light on the experience of men who experience violence from their female partners. Likewise, studies indicate that men can be victims of various types of violence. This is why this article bases its methodology on documentary analysis, using the bibliographic review technique and the specialized analytical review matrix-RAE, as an instrument for organizing information. Likewise, the objective is to analyze the types of violence that affect men in the Latin American context. Finally, we can affirm that according to what has been researched, the literature on violence against men remains scarce, especially in Latin America. It is crucial to be able to promote more research on this topic to fully understand the phenomenon and develop appropriate public policies that make these experiences visible to break social esteems regarding masculinity.Item Violencia económica: un ciclo silencioso de control y dependencia(2024) Rengifo Mosquera, Clara Isabel; Rengifo Piedrahita, Juliana Valentina; Caicedo Sánchez, Leidy Rocío; Samboni Vallejo, Adriana (Director)Economic violence is a social phenomenon that has become normalized in families, evolving from seemingly harmless actions to cycles of control. This type of violence is characterized by the limitation or denial of access to monetary resources, which generates economic dependence and vulnerability. Although this phenomenon can occur in any type of relationship, studies and statistics indicate that, in most cases, women are the main victims. The family, as a source of values and behaviors, reinforces patterns of interactions that can perpetuate this dependency, mainly affecting women. This article aims to analyze how these dynamics of control and dependence manifest themselves in economic violence against women in the family context. The documents analyzed show that the financial control imposed in the family environment negatively impacts the lives of women, restricting their autonomy and ability to access financial resources. The study adopts a qualitative approach and is developed within a hermeneutic paradigm, following the methodology described by Hernández Sampieri (2003). For the research, the documentary review method was used, applying a document analysis technique to examine studies and specialized literature on the topic. One of the findings refers to the fact that women face structural financial discrimination that manifests itself in situations of family violence, such as control of their income, manipulation and denial of access to resources and normalization of this violenceItem La pertinencia social de la política social de desarrollo rural 2018- 2022 en la experiencia de los productores pertenecientes al mercado orgánico de la ciudad de Cali(2024) Rivas Silva, Valentina; Gil, Maria Fernana (Director)The main objective of this research is to analyze how agricultural policies for rural development (PADR) 2018-2022 affect the experiences of producers in organic markets in the Valley. A methodology with a qualitative approach was proposed, where techniques such as documentary review and semi-structured interviews were used in order to achieve a deeper understanding of the political, economic and social context in which organic market producers operate. This allowed not only to inquire about the social policy of the rural sector, but also to reflect on its relevance in the community proposals of the producers. It was possible to identify some inconsistencies that limit this development, which requires a rethinking of the policy towards a more just, equitable and environmentally sustainable model, with a focus on comprehensive agrarian reform and the valorization of the cultural diversity of rural communities, through inclusive and sustainable policies that can promote an agriculture in these communities that not only protects biodiversity, but also ensures the welfare of farmers and promotes a production that values local traditions.Item Relación que existe entre el maltrato experimentando en la infancia y los estilos de crianza que se ejercen desde la actualidad(2024) Verdugo Hoyos, Herlyn Andrea; Lozano González, Isabella; Ramírez Bustamante, Viviana; Velandia García, AdrianaThe objective of this research project was to understand the relationship that exists between the abuse experienced in childhood and the parenting styles that are practiced today recognizing that what is learned in childhood has an impact on future development, it was based on a detailed analysis of studies and literature on the subject. It began by identifying maltreatment in parenting styles through narratives, then key theories on child maltreatment and parenting styles were addressed. In addition, the research was contextualized in time, space and legal framework related to the prevention of child maltreatment. The proposed methodology focused on dialogues and reflections that allowed understanding the connection between the maltreatment suffered by caregivers in their childhood and their current parenting practices. Using a narrative-based qualitative methodology, this study explored the relationship between child maltreatment and parenting styles. Through in-depth interviews and discourse analysis, the underlying mechanisms linking childhood maltreatment experiences with current parenting practices were identified. The results obtained contribute to a better understanding of the psychological processes involved in the intergenerational transmission of maltreatment, in addition to the reconfiguration of perception regarding maltreatment and parenting practices. Childhood maltreatment experiences influence parenting styles adopted in adulthood. Through qualitative analysis of personal narratives, recurrent patterns were identified in the way child maltreatment is related to dysfunctional parenting practices. The findings support Urie Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory and Diana Baurind's theory of parenting styles and have important implications for the prevention and treatment of child maltreatment.Item Una mirada profunda a las principales causas del abandono a la persona mayor en colombia(2024) Casiani Monroy, Yineth Yurani; Cortes Muñoz, Ángela Del Mar; Góngora Castro, Lorena; Samboni Vallejo, AdrianaThe abandonment of older adults in Colombia is a problem that seriously affects their well-being, especially in vulnerable communities where factors such as family disintegration, poverty and lack of institutional care increase their precariousness. This phenomenon impacts not only the physical, but also the emotional and social sphere, weakening their quality of life and deepening their exclusión. Through a hermeneutic review of thirty-four qualitative studies, patterns in family, economic and social dynamics that perpetuase this problem were identified, integrating multiple perspectives for a comprehensive visión. Therefore, the results show that power dynamics in the family nucleus, combined with economic pressures, are determining factors in abandonment decisions, which limits access to support networks, weakens the selfesteem and capabilities of older adults and perpetuates a cycle of social exclusión that increases the risk of depression and cognitive decline. This abandonment transcends physical neglect, also being reflected in the los of opportunities to build meaningful bonds, affecting their quality of life. It is worth mentioning that the findings highlight the urgent need to implement strategies that promote socialization, strengthen self-esteem and encourage the active participation of this population. Addressing this problem in a comprehensive manner requires strengthening support networks, developing inclusive public policies and fostering strong intergenerational relationships, which is essential to break the cycle of isolation, improve the emotional and social quality of life of the elderly, and guarantee their full integration into society.Item El afrontamiento de la diversidad sexual y de género al interior de las familias de algunos estudiantes de la universidad Santiago de Cali(2024) González Lobatón, Dylan Nicolle; Calero Rodríguez, Nicolle Vanessa; Caicedo Quiñones, Norieth Meliza; Melo Lopez, Diana PaolaThe following article aims to address sexual and gender diversity in the family context, focusing on students from the Universidad Santiago de Cali who identify themselves as part of the LGBTIQ+ community. For its development, three specific objectives were broken down to allow for a deeper understanding of specific aspects of the topic. The first consists of documenting the history of sexual diversity and diverse gender identity in Colombia. The second focuses on reconstructing the life stories of people with sexual and gender diversity in their family relationships. The third seeks to identify the patriarchal imaginaries and representations that perpetuate violence against LGBTIQ+ people in families. Given the sensitivity of the topics addressed in this research, a hermeneutic paradigm was adopted, focused on understanding individual experiences using a qualitative and descriptive approach the narrative method in order to meet the objectives set out in relation to addressing sexual and gender diversity within the family. The work begins with a review of the history of sexual diversity in Colombia, highlighting normative changes that have influenced social perception. The results indicate that the family is a key space where tensions arise due to the non-acceptance of sexual identity, which can negatively impact the emotional well-being of individuals. However, it is suggested that dialogue and education are essential to transform these dynamics towards a more inclusive environment. This study highlights the importance of the active participation of families in the fight for the acceptance of sexual and gender diversity, promoting a respectful family environment. Therefore, this research work contributes to raising awareness about the challenges faced by LGBTIQ+ people and the need for support policies in educational institutions.Item Representaciones Sociales de tres víctimas de explotación sexual que han sido apoyadas por la Fundación Empodérame de Cali(2024) Castro Estacio, Saidy; Rodríguez Triviño, Monica Yulissa; Ospina Nieto, YovanySantiago de Cali is a Colombian district which is considered the capital of the Valle del Cauca, which is positioned as the third most populated city in Colombia and the third economic and cultural center. But, in the same way, it highlights the different social problems that are framed within it, focusing on sexual exploitation as a manifestation of gender violence based on inequality and economic and social vulnerability, which makes it difficult for victims to recover and reintegrate into society. In this case, the male gender as a sign of hierarchy in patriarchal society is positioned in the conservation of an unequal model within the structure of labor, social and cultural practices in this context, putting women in a vulnerable situation. This is why, from a qualitative approach and in relation to the general objective, we sought to “Analyze the social representations of three victims of sexual exploitation who have received psychosocial support from the Empodérame Foundation of Cali”, in which three categories were identified as the main causes of the social problem presented, these allowed the development of the writing in the following way, mainly the social representations of Serge Moscovici and other referents, secondly sexual exploitation and finally psychosocial care. Now, the collection instrument used was semi-structured interviews and life stories, which allowed the writing to be placed in the realities presented by these women in relation to sexual exploitation, to give answers to the different theories that are intertwined with the reality of society.
