RESUMEN
Se realizó un trabajo descriptivo, retrospectivo y transversal de los alumnos caracterizados con factores de riesgo, así como de sus familiares durante el curso escolar 2000-2001 en la Escuela Primaria "Patria Nueva", en el Vedado, con el objetivo de determinar cómo se comporta el maltrato infantil, y específicamente identificar aquellos niños que pueden ser objeto de maltrato. Se determinó el nivel socioeconómico y el sociocultural de las familias objeto de nuestra investigación, así como la identificación de los miembros de la familia que fueron objeto de maltrato en su niñez. Como metodología investigativa se aplicó la técnica cualitativa de grupos focales por constituir un método idóneo para obtener información acerca de conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas sobre un tema determinado en una población en cuestión. Se obtuvieron resultados y se arribó a conclusiones como que el nivel sociocultural y el socioeconómico no determinan que se produzca el maltrato infantil, sino el aprendizaje que tuvieron los padres en su niñez, y estos a su vez, no tienen conciencia de que están maltratando a sus hijos.
ABSTRACT
With the objective of determining the situation of child abuse and particularly identifying those children that might be subjected to abuse, a retrospective cross-sectional and descriptive study was made on students characterized by risk factors and their relatives during the school year 2000-2001 in the elementary school "Patria Nueva" located in Vedado neighborhood. The study determined the socio-economic and socio-cultural levels of the families included in our research and additionally it identified the members of the family that suffered child abuse in their childhood. The research methodology applied was the qualitative technique of focal groups because it represented a suitable method to obtain information about pieces of knowledge, attitudes and practices in a specific topic or in a particular population. We achieved results and arrived at the conclusions that neither the socio-cultural nor the socio-economic levels are determining factors for child abuse, but instead the learning acquired by the parents in their childhood is, and also that these parents are not fully aware of the fact that they ill-treat their children.
