LIFESTYLE AND RESILIENCE IN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS (WHO ARE MOTHERS AND WORKERS AT THE SAME TIME)

Abstract

Although important advances have been made in society with regard to female academic training, this continues to be an enormous challenge for those women who, in addition to being students, are also mothers and workers. The objective of this work is to investigate the influence produced by the concomitant exercise of these roles on the quality of life of these women, as well as the recognition of those factors inherent to resilience that are necessary to exercise them. This is verified that the fulfillment of academic, work and family responsibilities by student mothers receive more attention than self-care itself. In addition, for this combination of roles to be possible and for these women to achieve their academic goals, personal life projects and the execution of work and/or domestic tasks, a great deal of resilience is necessary, manifested in effort, responsibility , commitment and organization of time. It is concluded that, in addition to implying one of the sources that requires the greatest dedication and attention, motherhood is presented as the basis of resilience that allows them to overcome the obstacles that come from the triple combination of roles.
