Abstract
Esta investigación se plantea estudiar si la percepción de apoyo social se relaciona positivamente
con la salud mental de las mujeres de familias monoparentales y biparentales y analizar las necesidades económicas de estas familias. Las participantes han sido 73 mujeres con hijos, 36 mujeres que afrontan en
solitario la maternidad y 37 mujeres que la comparten con su pareja, todas ellas son objeto de intervención
por parte de un equipo de tratamiento familiar de los Servicios Sociales. Las participantes responden a un
cuestionario que incluye las variables de estudio. Respecto a los resultados, las diferencias de medias
(MANOVA) y los análisis de correlación indican que las familias monoparentales tienen significativamente
más problemas económico-laborales y de salud mental que las familias biparentales. Los resultados también
muestran una relación negativa entre apoyo social y problemas de salud mental, las mujeres de familias monoparentales perciben menos apoyo social y manifiestan más problemas de salud mental que las mujeres de
familias biparentales. Estos resultados plantean la necesidad de ofrecer protocolos de actuación desde los
Servicios Sociales acordes con las necesidades de estas familias.
The aim of this research is to study if the perception of social support is favorably related to the mental health of the women of single-parent and two-parent families and to analyze the economic needs of these families. The participants have been 73 women with children, 36 women who face maternity by themselves and 37 women who share the maternity with their partners. All of them are object of intervention by a family treatment team of the Social Services. Participants respond to a questionnaire with the study variables. The results (MANOVA and Correlations) prove that the single-parent families have significantly more economic, working and mental health problems than the two-parent families. The results also prove a negative relation between social support and mental health problems, women from single parent families perceive less social support and show more problems of mental health than women from two-parent families. These results raise the necessity of offering action protocols from the Social Services according to the needs of these families.
