Psychological, subjective and social well-being of victims of the armed conflict in the municipality of Chalán – Sucre (Colombia) /

Objective: To describe the level of psychological, social and subjective well-being in victims of the armed conflict in the municipality of Chalán. Theoretical Framework: Mental health includes psychological, subjective and social well-being. Psychological well-being encompasses the satisfaction and optimal functioning of the individual. Subjective well-being refers to the perception of quality of life and personal satisfaction. Social well-being assesses the perception of social functioning and social context, including social integration and contribution. Method: A quantitative approach was adopted with a descriptive non-experimental cross-sectional cohort design. The participants were 75 victims of the armed conflict. The following scales were used: Ryff's Psychological Well-Being, Keyes' Social Well-Being and Sánchez Cánovas' Subjective Psychological Well-Being. Results and Discussion: 56% of the participants reflect a deficit in their psychological well-being, 36% are at a standard level and only 8% are at a high level, in line with research on victims of the armed conflict in Colombia. The 46.6% evaluate their subjective well-being negatively, while 57.3% evaluate it positively, highlighting the complex interaction between traumatic experiences and current satisfaction. 88% present a deficit in their social well-being. Research implications: The results have direct implications for the formulation of policies and intervention programs aimed at improving the comprehensive well-being of victims of the armed conflict. Originality/value: It lays the foundation for future research and practices focused on similar contexts, expanding knowledge and improving interventions in conflict and post-conflict situations globally.
