Resumen
Se presenta una exploración teórica sobre los avances realizados en los últimos 5 años sobre los factores que determinan la resiliencia infantil en contextos vulnerables. Para ello se han evaluado un conjunto de documentos científicos y académicos que brindan aporte para la comprensión del tema, y que ofrecen una base sólida para un escenario futuro de investigación. En este sentido, se empleó la metodología PRISMA en la selección y depuración de documentos. El análisis reveló que la resiliencia infantil es una capacidad dinámica influida por factores individuales, familiares, comunitarios y estructurales. Destacan la autorregulación emocional, el apego seguro, la resiliencia parental, las experiencias benevolentes, las redes sociales, las innovaciones tecnológicas y las políticas de protección económica como elementos protectores clave. Los hallazgos proporcionan un marco integral para el diseño de intervenciones sostenibles orientadas a fortalecer la capacidad de afrontamiento y bienestar en la infancia vulnerable.
