Abstract

The main objective of this research was to determine the relationship between post-traumatic stress and resilience in fifth-year high school students from educational institutions in South Lima, in times of pandemic of covid-19. Participants were 206 fifth grade high school students from public and private educational institutions, both sexes, whose age range was between 15 and 17 years old. The instruments used were the The Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptom Severity Scale-Revised by Echeburua et al. (2016) and the Resilience Scale of Wagnild and Young (1993). Results indicated that 46.12% of participants showed significant clinical symptomatology of postraumatic stress. There were no significant correlations between severity of symptoms of postraumatic stress and resilience, neither in total scores nor in dimensions. Significant difference between sexes were observed only in severity of symptoms of postraumatic stress (total and dimensions scores), having women the highest scores. Related to resilience, it was observed significant higher score in women only in the equanimity dimension.
