• Resumen

  • Resilience in teenage mothers will play an important role, as it will help them improve their ability to cope with situations that make them vulnerable during pregnancy. Therefore, the research objective is to determine the level of resilience in teenage mothers treated at a hospital in Lima. This is a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional, non-experimental study with a total population of 125 teenage mothers who responded to a questionnaire on sociodemographic aspects and the 25-item Connor and Davidson Resilience Scale. The results show that 5 (n=4.3%) have a low level of resilience, 29 (n=25.2%) have a medium level of resilience and 81 (n=70.4%) have a high level of resilience. In conclusion, the adolescent's environment must be assessed, as this will allow us to identify any protective or risk factors that promote resilience.
