  • Exercise of sexual reproductive rights of Venezuelan immigrant women during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    They are women who migrated after 2018, considered by UNHCR as Venezuelans displaced abroad, people who are likely to be in need of international protection, requiring protection against forced returns and access to basic services, regardless of age, educational level and migration status. The population is a database of migrant population of which 2,495 are women of legal age who migrated from Venezuela between April and May 2019, through the migratory corridor between Ureña/San Antonio and Villa del Rosario Cúcuta, digesting to different destinations in South America including Colombia. It is a population that has continued to be linked to the High Border Studies Group (ALEF) of the Simon Bolivar University, because it has been consulted for various studies to study the living conditions in the host countries. And in this study we want to make visible the need to understand the conditions of female migration in terms of access to and exercise of SRR. The sampling frame design was non-probabilistic. An online survey was applied to 2495 women during April 1 to June 3, 2021, obtaining the response of 86 women (sample for this study). 3.5%

  • Venezuelan human mobility. Characteristics of those who emigrated in 2019
    The data shows socio-demographic information, related to decisions and causes of emigration, country of destination, governance in host countries, accompanying persons on the journey and return to Venezuela. Respondents were Venezuelan emigrants who left their country of origin in 2019, considered by UNHCR as Venezuelans displaced abroad, persons who may be in need of international protection, requiring protection against forced returns and access to basic services, regardless of their age, education level and migration status. The design of the sampling frame considered both temporal and spatial dimensions. The temporal dimension was defined by the number of days of the week, from Monday to Sunday in a period of 4 weeks, from 8 April to 5 May 2019. A In turn, each day was distributed in 4 cycles of 3 hours each, totalling 12 hours per day for the application of the questionnaire. The spatial dimension is the aforementioned office of Migration Colombia, where Venezuelan nationals carry out the procedure for stamping their entry into Colombia. Therefore, these were documented migrants. Since the probability of selection of the subjects within the population was unknown, non-probabilistic sampling was used, using the consecutive sampling technique, which aims to include all accessible and available subjects in the spatial dimension. This procedure resulted in a sample size of 12,957 respondents. The criterion for the selection of respondents was to apply the instrument only to those Venezuelans who left their country. Venezuelans who entered Colombia to collect remittances, buy food, medicines or any other goods, as well as those who entered to visit relatives or go on holiday in Colombia or another country, were excluded, as these people stated that they were returning and would continue to live in Venezuela. The collection of primary data allowed for a quantitative, descriptive analysis. These data can also be used to build predictive statistical models.

  • Food security in rural and urban Venezuelan households on the Colombian-Venezuelan border.
    The instrument was applied to 808 heads of households living in the municipalities of Torbes and Fernández Feo in the State of Táchira in Venezuela. These are households in a situation of economic vulnerability. The variable defined as the dependent variable: "On some occasion when there was no food in the household" through a dichotomous response category: 1 = Yes and 2 = No. The research hypotheses were: 1. H0: There is no significant evidence of a significant relationship or association between the time when there was no food in the household and the household's access to the CLAP box. 2. H0: there is no significant evidence of a relationship or association between the occasion when there was no food in the household and a member of the household having received money through a government voucher or mission. 3. H0: there is no significant evidence of a relationship or association between the occasion when there was no food in the household and a member of the household went to bed hungry. 4. H0: There is no significant evidence of a significant relationship or association between the occasion when there was no food in the household and a household member went a whole day and night without food. 5. H0: There is no significant evidence of a significant relationship or association between the occasion when there was no food in the household and difficulties in acquiring food due to lack of income. 6. H0: there is no significant evidence of a relationship or association between occasions when there was no food in the household and asking for help from friends and family to feed themselves. 7. H0: there is no significant evidence of a relationship or association between the occasion when there was no food in the household and reduced portion sizes at meal times. 8. H0: there is no significant evidence of a relationship or association between the occasion when there was no food in the household and having restricted the amount of food consumed by adults so that children can eat. 9. H0: There is no significant evidence of a relationship or association between the occasion when there was no food in the household and a reduced number of meals per day. 10. H0: There is no significant evidence of a relationship or association between the occasion when there was no food in the household and at least one of the household members receiving a food basket or bag as a benefit for his or her work. 11. H0: there is no significant evidence of a relationship or association between the occasion when there was no food in the household and receiving food or help to buy food from an organization other than the school canteen. Mediante las pruebas de Chi-cuadrado de Pearson y Chi-cuadrado de razón de verosimilitud y el estadístico V de Cramer, se midió la fuerza de asociación, a un nivel de confianza del 5%, excluyendo las que resultaron sin relación estadísticamente significativa.. Only 7 variables were statistically significant.

  • Entrepreneurial attributes of Venezuelan migrants in Gramalote, Norte de Santander, Colombia
    The data come from a structured instrument applied to a population of 88 Venezue-lan migrants over 18 years of age who are entrepreneurs of productive units in the urban area of the municipality of Gramalote, Norte de Santander, Colombia. The population consulted for this study represents 45.36 per cent of the population registered by the mi-gration authority in this municipality (Immigration authorities report 194 immigrants registered as of 31 December 2020 (Colombia Migration 2020)). Geographically, the study sample is located in the municipality of Gramalote, Norte de Santander, Colombia, bordering Venezuela. In 2020, due to the fact that Norte de Santander was the department with the third highest unemployment rate in Colombia, registering 21% and a variation of 6.4 percentage points with respect to the previous year (Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística [DANE] 2020), and due to the willingness of Venezuelan migrants to live in the country, it is important to know the entrepreneurial attributes established in the literature; factors to consider in the policies of the Colombian State in terms of education programmes and formalisation of the labour market. These data correspond to the research project "Towards a globalising view of the impact of the Venezuelan migration crisis", code: C2032170819, Universidad Simón Bolívar, Colombia.

  • Niveles de ansiedad durante el confinamiento obligatorio por COVID-19, en estudiantes de una Universidad Estatal del Caribe colombiano
    Introducción: La alarma mundial por la pandemia del covid-19 ha afectado no solo la salud física sino también la salud mental de toda la población, incluyendo a los jóvenes universitarios. Objetivo: Caracterizar la presencia de la ansiedad (Ansiedad Estado-AE y Ansiedad Rasgo-AR) en estudiantes de una Universidad estatal del Caribe colombiano en situación de confinamiento obligatorio por el covid-19. Método: investigación cuantitativa de tipo descriptiva y diseño transversal, con muestreo intencional. Participaron 371 estudiantes de las seis Facultades de la universidad participante, hombres y mujeres, con edad mínima de 16 y máxima de 33 años, M de 18,3 años y DT de 2,1 años. Los estudiantes respon-dieron el Cuestionario STAI (State Trait Anxiety Inventory), mediante la plataforma de Google Forms, el cual fue enviado a 1200 estudiantes por medio de correo electrónico, durante el mes de mayo de 2020. Los datos fueron procesados mediante el SPSSv21, se hicieron análisis descriptivos por grupos y de Odds Ratio (OR). Resultados: Se hallaron niveles de ansiedad, ligeramente superior en AE y AR en el sexo masculino en la categoría muy alto tanto para adolescentes como adultos. Mientras que, en la categoría alta, se presentó mayor AE en el sexo femenino en el rango de edad de 19 años o más, y en el rango de 16 a 18 años AR ligeramente más alta en el sexo femenino. Así mismo, las mujeres adolescentes tienen un OR de 2,2 veces más de AE que las adultas, representando un riesgo para su salud. Conclusiones: Los estudiantes universitarios presentan altos niveles de ansiedad, ligeramente mayor en los adolescentes respecto a los adultos, lo que pone en riesgo su salud mental, por lo que se sugiere medidas de intervención desde la psicología de la salud con fines de prevención y monitorear los avances mediante nuevas investigaciones.
