calidad de vida, estrés, estudiantes universitarios

Resumen

PROBLEMA: la vida universitaria podría llegar a ser demandante académicamente, tanto que algunos estudiantes pueden presentar indicadores de estrés ante situaciones que son comunes como el cumplimiento de ciertos requisitos y el seguimiento de ciertas conductas. Al mismo tiempo, este ambiente proporciona la posibilidad de socializar con nuevos sujetos y permite entablar relaciones duraderas, ayudar a tener una mejor percepción de sí mismo y en conjunto la posibilidad de que a través de este proceso educativo mejoren las opciones laborales y puedan tener una mejor calidad de vida. OBJETIVO: determinar la asociación entre los niveles de calidad de vida y los niveles del estrés académico en estudiantes de psicología de la universidad pública de Guatemala. MÉTODO: el enfoque fue cuantitativo, no experimental de corte transversal y alcance correlacional predictivo. El muestreo fue no probabilístico por conveniencia y los datos fueron recopilados por un cuestionario integrado digitalmente, RESULTADOS: obteniendo 483 estudiantes de la universidad pública de Guatemala se realizó una regresión lineal con la que se obtuvo la siguiente ecuación: Calidad de vida = 127.053 - .777 (estrés académico), el modelo fue significativo, F (1, 481) = 183 p = < .001, lo cual representa el R = 52.50 % de la variación. CONCLUSIÓN: el estrés puede afectar negativamente la calidad de vida de los estudiantes, los resultados no son determinantes, pero ayudarán a la generación de teoría contextualizada.
