BRITO CRUZ, Teresa del Jesús et al. Failure, permanence and dropout in students in the health area users of the children's learning center of a university in southeast Mexico. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2022, vol.14, n.3, pp. 646-653. Epub 30-Jun-2022. ISSN 2218-3620.
Parents of university students face a series of difficulties in raising their children, many of them resort to the support of their relatives or to the childcare service as an alternative that allows them to complete their studies. As a result of this social problem, several universities in the country have focused on providing childcare services as support to prevent student dropout due to this factor. The objective of the present work is to characterize the impact that the child stay has on the failure, permanence and desertion rates in the students of the Faculty of Health Sciences who are users of the child learning center of a higher education institution in the southeast of Mexico. The study was quantitative, non-experimental and cross-sectional. The sample used was non-probabilistic, for convenience. In relation to failure, permanence and desertion in the stage where the student did not have the service, on average the student studied 6 learning units, 54.76% had at least one learning unit failed and 45.24% had 100% approved. of the assigned learning units, with an average grade of 80.14 ± 5.08, once the student had access to the childcare service, it can be seen that there were positive changes, 85.71% approved 100% of their assigned learning units, and 14.29% failed only 1, with an average grade of 85.8% ± 5.55. Child stay has reduced school dropouts and has improved the academic performance of these young people, which translates into better grades. This service has benefited families by strengthening their integration and their social environment, thereby generating a multiplier effect.
