“…Parental sickness, work absence, related to unemployment, sick leave or disability, increase the risk of school absenteeism in children . In the same way, adverse experiences in childhood, such as the death or incarceration of a parent or financial hardship, familial substance use or neighbourhood violence increase the risk of making it chronic . Thus, in the evaluation of children with chronic school absenteeism, paediatricians should explore the home atmosphere and involve general practitioners to have a complete picture of the entire family behaviours, illnesses, and social conditions .…”

Chronic school absenteeism is a relatively common problem in childhood and adolescence, and paediatricians should be aware of the causes, implications, and possible consequences of this behaviour. Most children, who consistently miss school, remain at home with the awareness of their parents, reporting some medical causes for their behaviour. Therefore, paediatricians should learn to use chronic school absenteeism as a diagnostic clue, to appropriately address children and adolescents with this behaviour and their families.

“…El absentismo escolar puede ser considerado como un problema público educativo y social, e incluso de salud, puesto que expone al estudiante a riesgos para su desarrollo. Por ejemplo, estudios recientes como el de Stempel et al (2017) y Melander et al (2018 demuestran que el absentismo está asociado a la experiencia de acontecimientos traumáticos, principalmente la violencia en el barrio, el abuso de sustancias por parte de algún familiar y el maltrato. El estudio de Melander et al (2018) demostró que 25 por ciento de los estudiantes ausentes reportaron un tipo de maltrato, comparado con el 16 por ciento del total de la población.…”

El artículo explora el fenómeno del absentismo escolar desde una perspectiva biográfica en un grupo de jóvenes de centros educativos de secundaria en Cataluña. A partir de un enfoque metodológico cualitativo se analiza la visión de los jóvenes sobre su experiencia escolar, el significado que atribuyen a la escuela y las razones de su absentismo escolar. Lejos de los discursos dominantes sobre la deprivación cultural y social, los resultados muestran que se trata de un proceso relacionado con las rupturas y dificultades escolares. Los factores escolares fueron los más reconocidos, seguidos por los factores personales y familiares. Priman las causas escolares relacionadas con el binomio adolescencia-escuela, y con las relaciones interpersonales en el aula y el clima escolar, si bien no siempre se traduce en un desapego de estos jóvenes respecto del sistema escolar.The paper explores the phenomenon of school absenteeism from a biographical perspective in a group of young people from secondary schools in Catalonia. A qualitative methodological approach is used to analyze young people's views on their school experience, the meaning they attach to school and the reasons for their absenteeism. Far from the dominant discourses on cultural and social handicap, the results show that it is a process related to school breakdowns and difficulties. School factors were the most recognized, followed by personal and family factors. The causes related to adolescence, the relevance of the bond of friendship and the influence of peer groups, a process that seems to be exacerbated by the boredom and lack of motivation that come with being in class, related to the detachment of young people from the school system.
