Descripción

The research’s goal was designing a life skills program in a psychiatric hospital in San Juan de Pasto. It was structured from the application of the HPV Test developed by Díaz, Rosero, Melo and Aponte. This program was developed with two groups of patients with intramural treatment. The results involve low scores in interpersonal relationships, management of feelings and emotions, critical thinking, resolution of problems and conflicts, which were taken into account in the formulation of eleven sessions. The results were based on the application of pretest and postest procedures; these phases got a significance level above 90 % according to Student’s T, and Wilcoxon tests.
