Description

Tipo de artículo: Artículo de revisión

La manera en la que los adolescentes utilizan las redes sociales es un fenómeno complejo con un impacto multifactorial y no lineal en su salud. Ante la necesidad de marcos teóricos que expliquen esta compleja relación, este artículo presenta un modelo etiopatogénico integrador que articula las diversas interrelaciones entre factores biológicos, psicosociales, sociales, ambientales e individuales. A través de una síntesis cualitativa y conceptual de la literatura científica (2020-2025), este trabajo constituye una contribución teórica fundamental para el campo, demostrando cómo una intrincada red de relaciones define la vulnerabilidad y resiliencia de los adolescentes. El modelo es una herramienta para la comprensión de las propiedades que presenta la experiencia digital y su impacto, proporcionando un marco sólido para el diseño de estrategias de prevención e intervención dirigidas a este grupo poblacional.

Abstract (English)

Article type: Review article

The way adolescents use social media is a complex phenomenon with a multifactorial and non-linear impact on their health. Recognizing the need for theoretical frameworks to explain this intricate relationship, this article presents an integrative etiopathogenic model that articulates the diverse interrelationships among biological, psychosocial, social, environmental, and individual factors. Through a qualitative and conceptual synthesis of scientific literature (2020-2025), this work makes a foundational theoretical contribution to the field, demonstrating how an intricate web of relationships defines adolescent vulnerability and resilience. The model serves as a tool for understanding the properties of the digital experience and its impact, providing a solid framework for designing prevention and intervention strategies aimed at this population group.
