Introducción. El presente estudio examina si existen combinaciones de factores resilientes que den lugar a diferentes perfiles de resiliencia en personas con movilidad reducida. Asimismo, comprueba si existen diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los grupos obtenidos respecto a las dimensiones de empoderamiento. Método. La “Escala de resiliencia” (1993) y la “Escala empoderamiento” (1989) fueron administradas a 94 personas con movilidad reducida, de entre 21 y 62 años (M= 29,35; DT= 6,43) Resultados. El análisis de conglomerados identificó tres perfiles resilientes: un perfil de baja resiliencia, un grupo con un predominio de aceptación de uno mismo y de la vida y un último perfil de alta resiliencia generalizada. Asimismo, se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los perfiles obtenidos respecto a las dimensiones de empoderamiento. Conclusiones. Esto sugiere la necesidad de profundizar en el conocimiento de la resiliencia y en el diseño de programas que potencien las fortalezas de las personas con discapacidad.
Introduction. The present study is aimed to identify different profiles in resilience in people with reduced mobility. In addition, significant differences in empowerment domains among profiles previously identified are also analyzed. Method. The Resilience Scale (1993) and Empowerment Scale (1989) were administered to 94 people with reduced mobility, aged 21 to 62 years (M= 29,35; DT= 6,43). The sample belongs to an association of people with motor disabilities. In order to obtain the different profiles, the method of quick cluster analysis was used. Subsequently, analyzes of variance (ANOVA) were performed with the objective of analyzing the statistical significance of the differences between the groups in the dimensions of empowerment. Results. Cluster analyses allowed identifying three different resilience profiles: a group of people with low in the three dimensions of resilience, a group with predominance of high scores in self and life acceptance and, finally, a group of people with high general resilience. Results also revealed significant statistical differences in most domains of empowerment among profiles. Conclusions. Results suggest the need of broadening the knowledge about resilience and designing empowerment programs for people with reduced mobility.
