Abstract

Resilience in female transgender people during confinement due to COVID-19 has been one of the strongest problems for this community, the lack of support as expressed by them and in turn the situations that have occurred due to work limitations and restrictions that were applied to contain the virus caused havoc and have been forced to remain among the population with greater visibility in search of income for their own survival.  The objective of the research is to determine the levels of resilience in female transgender people of the Trans Organization of the city of Portoviejo. To carry out the study, a methodology was applied that was of a mixed quantitative-qualitative descriptive nature, based on the survey and interview technique. To obtain and analyze the information, instruments were applied, which are the SV-RES resilience scale; and semi-structured interview to be able to identify the data that provide clarity to the information obtained. The percentile scale made it possible to identify that the resilience in the transgender women who participated in the research was of an average level during the pandemic and they were during the confinement time with financial problems, as well as that the impact on their lives was the emotional part up to the fear of risk of contagion by this disease. As part of the conclusions, it is indicated that transgender women must have comprehensive attention to the processes of overcoming problems, and that they provide them with a contribution towards their lives.
