RISK FACTORS AND MENTAL HEALTH CARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE PERCEPTION OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN AGROECOLOGICAL PRODUCERS OF AZUAY

CLIMATE CHANGE REPRESENTS A CURRENT GLOBAL CHALLENGE. THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH OF THE ENTIRE POPULATION IS COMPROMISED. THIS PROPOSAL IS GUIDED BY THE QUESTION: HOW IS THE MENTAL HEALTH STATE OF THE AGROECOLOGICAL PRODUCERS OF AZUAY REGARDING THE RISK FACTORS THEY PERCEIVE IN THE CONTEXT OF CLIMATE CHANGE? AS A HYPOTHESIS, WE CONSIDER THAT THERE MAY EXIST A DIRECT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PERCEPTION OF RISK FACTORS DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE MENTAL HEALTH STATUS OF AGROECOLOGICAL PRODUCERS IN AZUAY. THE GENERAL OBJECTIVE IS TO ANALYZE THE RISK FACTORS AND THE STATE OF MENTAL HEALTH IN THE AGROECOLOGICAL PRODUCERS OF AZUAY. THE METHOD THAT WILL ANSWERING THE RESEARCH QUESTION AND VERIFY THE HYPOTHESIS WILL BE A MIXED APPROACH THROUGH THE USE OF THE GOLDBERG GENERAL HEALTH QUESTIONNAIRE (GHQ-28) AND THE RIFF PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING SCALE FOR QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION AND INTERVIEWS SEMI-STRUCTURED FOR QUALITATIVE INFORMATION. THE RESULTS OBTAINED WILL ALLOW US TO HAVE A DATABASE, MAKE AT LEAST TWO PUBLICATIONS AND SHARE THE MAIN DATA WITH THE PARTICIPATING COMMUNITIES
