ABSTRACT

This article shows the data obtained in the research conducted by a model ex-post-facto. We have constructed a questionnaire ad hoc in which we analyse the relationship between Severe Mental Disorder (SMD) and early school dropout. We select those 67 graduates, from a day care hospital specialized in severe mental disorder, who have a disengagement with the centre of at least five years. The ages of the participants are between 18 and 24 years old. With the instruments applied and the obtaining of an internal consistency of .826, we chose to interpret the relationship between variables with Fisher’s exact test. Obtaining p = .026 < .05, we can say that there is a statistical relationship between SMD and early school dropout. We have also been able to observe how obtaining compulsory secondary education is fundamental so that the individual continues structuring their academic life and access to the working world.

RESUMEN

En este artículo se presentan los datos obtenidos en una investigación realizada mediante un modelo ex post facto. Los autores elaboraron un cuestionario adhoc en el que se analizan las relaciones entre el trastorno mental grave (TMG) y el abandono escolar temprano. La muestra estaba formada por un total de 67 participantes seleccionados en un hospital de día especializado en trastornos mentales graves y desvinculados del centro durante por lo menos cinco años. El rango de edad de los participantes era de 18 a 24 años. Los instrumentos utilizados y la consistencia interna obtenida, de .826, llevaron a interpretar las relaciones entre las variables mediante la prueba exacta de Fischer. Con un valor p = .026 < .05 se puede afirmar que existe una relación estadística entre el trastorno mental grave y el abandono escolar temprano. También hemos podido constatar que la obtención del certificado de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO) es fundamental para la futura estructuración de la vida académica y el acceso al mundo laboral del estudiante.
