Description
Summary:In the state of Tamaulipas, conflicts between organized crime groups have increased levels of community violence. An observational, cross-sectional analytical study with 500 university students, both men and women was held with the aim of analyzing the relationship between direct and indirect victimization, resilience and psychological symptoms. Different scales for measuring variables were used and statistical analysis with chi-square, Student t test, Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analysis was performed. Gender differences in victimization and psychological symptoms, and significant associations between victimization and symptoms were found. The relationship between victimization and psychological symptoms, is regulated by resilience. It is required to consider this variable in prevention programs aimed at young men and young women exposed to community violence.
