Barreras invisibles en la universidad: consecuencias del estigma percibido en estudiantes con discapacidad: Una revisión sistemática
Resumen
El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar las consecuencias del estigma percibido en estudiantes universitarios con discapacidad mediante una revisión sistemática. Los estudios analizados permiten establecer una relación consistente entre el estigma y distintas dimensiones de la experiencia universitaria. Las conclusiones indican que su efecto se traduce en problemas adaptativos al contexto universitario y en niveles de rendimiento adecuados, a lo que se une la tendencia a no acudir a los apoyos disponibles o acceder a ellos sin finalmente utilizarlos. En el ámbito académico, el estigma percibido influía en las adaptaciones a la universidad, en el rendimiento y en el acceso a recursos de apoyo. En el ámbito de la inclusión social, el análisis mostró escasos niveles de integración y sentido de pertenencia, así como experiencias de exclusión y discriminación. Finalmente, se identificaron barreras culturales e institucionales como la poca preparación docente, los escasos apoyos y las actitudes estigmatizantes, lo que evidencia la brecha entre las demandas estudiantiles y las respuestas institucionales. En definitiva, el estigma percibido aparece como un factor transversal que afecta la experiencia universitaria, por lo que su abordaje implica tanto estrategias personales como transformaciones estructurales y culturales de inclusión.
