BackgroundAnxiety and depressive disorders occur in all stages of life and are the most common childhood disorders. However, only recently has attention been paid to mental health problems in indigenous children and studies of anxiety and depressive disorders in these children are still scarce. This study compares the prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms in Aymara and non-Aymara children. Among the Aymara children, the study examines the relations between these symptoms and the degree of involvement with Aymara culture.MethodsWe recruited 748 children aged 9 to 15 years from nine schools serving low socioeconomic classes in the city of Arica, in northern Chile. The children were equally divided between boys and girls and 37% of the children were Aymara. To evaluate anxiety and depressive symptoms we used the Stress in Children (SiC) instrument and the Children Depression Inventory-Short version (CDI-S), and used an instrument we developed to assess level of involvement in the Aymara culture.ResultsThere was no significant difference between Aymara and non-Aymara children on any of the instrument scales. Dividing the Aymara children into high-involvement (n = 89) and low-involvement (n = 186) groups, the low-involvement group had significantly higher scores on the Hopelessness subscale of the CDI-S (p = 0.02) and scores of marginally higher significance in overall Anxiety on the SiC (p = 0.06).ConclusionsAlthough Aymara children have migrated from the high Andean plateau to the city, this migration has not resulted in a greater presence of anxiety and depressive symptoms. Greater involvement with the Aymara culture may be a protective factor against anxiety and depressive symptoms in Aymara children. This point to an additional benefit of maintaining cultural traditions within this population.

“…[los] niños y adolescentes pertenecientes a esta etnia [aymará], además de presentar un menor rendimiento académico, muestran a menudo una percepción de sí mismos con una apariencia personal negativa, lo que, en términos psicológicos, podría estar relacionado con procesos de alienación y discriminación (Caqueo-Urízar, De Munter, Urzúa, & Saiz, 2014;antropología).…”

“…Para el caso de los estudios cuantitativos, se reconoce un fuerte énfasis en la medición a partir del uso de escalas que buscan operacionalizar y medir aspectos psicosociales implicados en el surgimiento de problemas que afectan a la niñez, sobre todo, en contextos educacionales (Alfaro et al, 2016;Álvarez, Briceño, Álvarez, Abufhele, & Delgado, 2018;Caqueo-Urízar, De Munter, Urzúa, & Saiz, 2014;Casas et al, 2015;Gorostegui & Dörr, 2005;Haquin, Larraguibel, & Cabezas, 2004;Quintana & Muñoz, 2010;Santelices et al, 2012;Urzúa, Caqueo-Urízar, Albornoz, & Jara, 2013;).…”

Este artículo presenta la información producida a partir del análisis de fuente secundaria, fundamentalmente, de 69 artículos científicos provenientes de las bases de datos Scielo-Chile y Scopus, donde se pretende identificar qué y cómo se ha investigado sobre niñez en Chile, en el período comprendido entre los años 2005 y 2019. El ejercicio propuesto busca identificar y caracterizar las nociones que están detrás de los modos de conceptualizar a los niños. El corpus seleccionado fue sometido a un análisis de contenido categorial temático, del cual emergen categorías centrales como noción del sujeto/objeto, implicancias para la intervención social y metodologías utilizadas. Se concluye que coexisten miradas sobre la niñez que van desde ubicar al niño como objeto de protección, estudio y cuidado, hasta considerarlo sujeto de derechos.

“…At the contextual level, it has been observed that factors such as environmental conflicts, the irruption in their ancestral lands, the displacement (Luque et al, 2016; Snodgrass et al, 2017) and the colonialist structure still prevailing (Pelcastre-Villafuerte et al, 2020), negatively affect the well-being of indigenous people. At the individual level, it has been found that cultural involvement—understood as the participation in traditional activities or the use of the native language (Caqueo-Urízar et al, 2014; Carlson & Güler, 2018; Dockery, 2011)—has a positive effect on the well-being of indigenous people (Hapeta et al, 2019; Kirmayer, 2015; Lindstedt et al, 2017), also playing a key role in the process of development of ethnic identity and influencing the assessment and affective bond established with the reference group (Phinney, 1992).…”

Evaluate the relationship between the cultural involvement and the different dimensions of the Lickan-Antay well-being, as well as the possible mediating effect of ethnic identity and the self-esteem in this relationship. An observational design was used. Three hundred ninety-five Lickan-Antay adult men and women residing in Lickan-Antay development areas and in two cities and northern Chile participated. The variables well-being, Lickan-Antay cultural involvement, self-esteem, and ethnic identity were measured with validated ad hoc scales and with good fit indicators. Cultural involvement has a positive direct effect on dimensions of Lickan-Antay well-being, and total and specific indirect effects on all dimensions of Lickan-Antay well-being, through self-esteem and ethnic identity. Self-esteem and ethnic identity explain an important part of the relationship between cultural involvement and the different dimensions of Lickan-Antay well-being. The results were discussed in the light of previous theories on cultural involvement, ethnic identity, and self-esteem and their relationship with well-being in indigenous communities, recognizing the particularities of these last ones in the Andean Latin American context.
