Povzetek

The study is aligned with the third Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), which promotes health and well-being at all stages of life. Its objective was to analyze how vulnerability, risk, and protection factors affect the coping strategies of adolescents cared for in a public institution in Moyobamba in 2024. The applied, quantitative approach used a non-experimental, cross-sectional design and surveys as a data collection technique. The results highlight that protection factors have a significant positive impact on coping strategies, highlighting the importance of strengthening emotional, social, and family support. Although most adolescents presented low levels of vulnerability and risk, moderate risks related to family dynamics and sociocultural factors were identified, underscoring the need for targeted interventions. Emotional coping strategies showed limited effectiveness, indicating the influence of other unstudied elements. On the other hand, protection factors positively impact cognitive, behavioral, and social strategies, strengthening adolescents' ability to manage trauma. This shows that a positive family and social environment is crucial to mitigate the effects of sexual harassment or abuse, reinforcing the need for comprehensive policies and interventions that strengthen these aspects.
