Estrés postraumático como consecuencia del conflicto armado en Colombia. Revisión sistemática de la literatura.

Resumen

The purpose of this research work was to identify the influence that the Colombian armed conflict has the appearance of post-traumatic stress disorder and how this psychological characterization, derived from this scourge that has affected our country for so many years; for this purpose, a documentary analysis was carried out on leading figures in recent decades, oriented towards the main theme. The foregoing, through a systematic analysis of the literature, using approximately 50 sources to answer the research question asked. In this way, an exhaustive and critical analysis of the academic documents consulted, research papers and scientific articles is carried out, in order to identify their contributions or theoretical elements of value to respond to the aforementioned, and taking as support the previously selected categories. The documents consulted allow us to account in the first instance for the impact that the armed conflict has had on mental health throughout the more than 50 years that it has been established in our territory, and in the second instance, for the importance that has been subtracted to the victims of this scourge and to their psychosocial well-being, leaving aside ensuring that their rights are restored and guaranteeing optimal mental health care that somehow makes it possible to repair the damage caused by armed violence in Colombia.
