Abstract

Background: Gender violence affects 35% of women worldwide, being a concern in the authorities and in the health system due to the serious consequences it brings. In the field of mental health, self-esteem is affected in every woman who suffers violence.
Objective: To determine the degree of self-esteem before and after the intervention of women who experience violence, Azuay-Cañar
Methodology: The research is quasi-experimental of chronological series with the design modality of pretest and posttest of a single group. The instrument to collect the data is the Rosenberg Test, a questionnaire to explore personal self-esteem understood as feelings of personal worth and self-respect. The population will be selected through a probabilistic sampling, because we will work with women who experience gender violence and go to the care center. The expected sample is 55 participants.
Results: Regarding the sociodemographic variables, there is a higher frequency in the age group from 18 to 30 years with 52.7%, followed by the group from 31 to 45 years with 27.3%; Regarding marital status, 58.2% are single and 34.5% are married, in terms of education, 50.9% have secondary education. In the Rosemberg Self-esteem Scale it was reflected that 94.5% have low self-esteem, increasing considerably after the intervention workshops. A statistically significant association is presented between the degree of self-esteem and the age of 18-30 years with a value p=0.003; economic income with a value p=0.019, the other variables do not show association. 


Conclusion: Health care intervention workshops and empowerment therapy contribute to increasing self-esteem in women who experience gender violence
