Abstract: The paper presents a detailed analysis of the role of nursing in a Primary Health Care Center (CAPS) in Barrio Las Flores, Rosario, Argentina, focusing on male adolescents between 12 and 15 years of age attended between March and October 2020. During this period, 276 services were recorded, highlighting health controls, violence due to social vulnerability, consumption of illicit substances, traffic incidents and domestic violence. The research addresses psychosocial risk factors, such as poverty, child labor, and exposure to criminal activities, including drug trafficking and its territorial implications. In addition, the relationship between violence, drug use, and family problems is explored. The study highlights the importance of resilience and its relationship with the construction of life projects, based on theoretical approaches such as Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory and Nola Pender's Health Promotion Model. Also, antecedents in Colombia and Peru on resilience and protective factors in adolescents are analyzed. It is concluded that nursing has a strategic role in mitigating psychosocial risks through community and educational interventions.
