This investigation aims to analyze the association between the perceived physical and mental health and the sociodemographic, academic and psychological variables in a group of 520 students from a private university of Lima. For this purpose, the Short Form- 36 Health Survey (SF-36), the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and the Coping Estimation Inventory (COPE 60) were used. The results show that men obtained higher scores in the dimensions of physical health compared to women. Students who had less academic difficulties obtained higher scores in the dimensions of mental health. Finally, the perceived stress exhibited stronger correlations with the dimensions of perceived physical and mental health. It is expected that these results contribute to the development of programs focused on health prevention and promotion of university students. DOI: ht...

This essay describes and reflects on the experience of higher education in the context of the public health emergency generated by COVID-19 and declared in Peru from March 11, 2020 to the present. The physical locking of university settings has created great challenges for students and teachers across the country. The changes, mostly forced and unplanned, generated uncertainty and discontent in teachers and students. In this document, the authors seek to approach this experience in order to propose lessons learned and reflections on this situation that, as humanity, it is necessary to document for future generations.

El presente ensayo describe y reflexiona sobre la experiencia de la educación superior en el contexto de la emergencia sanitaria generada por la covid-19 y declarada desde marzo de 2020 hasta la actualidad. El cierre de las instalaciones de las universidades ha generado grandes retos para los estudiantes y docentes de todo el país. Frente a este contexto, se implementó la educación virtual con la finalidad de reducir los contagios y también garantizar la continuidad de los estudios de los jóvenes. La educación virtual propició cambios, los cuales, en su mayoría, fueron forzados y poco planificados; no obstante, también han representado una oportunidad para la implementación de plataformas y tecnologías para el aprendizaje. A partir de la revisión y el análisis de la literatura científica, en este documento se discuten las implicancias para estudiantes y docentes en este nu...

The main purpose of this study was to verify the factorial structure of the two scales that make up the Multicultural Inventory of Expression of Anger and Hostility from a confirmatory perspective. We performed the Confirmatory Factor Analysis with a non-probability sample of 264 participants from a private university in Lima, Peru. The sampling included university students (25%), faculty members (17.8%) and administrative staff (57.2%). The reliability of the instrument was evaluated using the congeneric, tau-equivalent and parallel models for each of the six subscales of the instrument, as well as calculated based on Cronbach's alpha coefficient with confidence intervals. Results: Factor analysis performed in the present Peruvian sample identified four dimensions for the Anger Expression Scale (Anger-In, Anger-Out, Anger/Control In, and Anger/Control-Out) and two factors for the Hostil...

Background: The sense of capability scale, originally validated in French university students (Drouin & Costalat-Founeau, 2020), measures people’s subjective representation of their own capacities and theirperceptions of what others think about them. The aim of this study is to adapt the scale for university students in Lima, Peru and to analyze its psychometric properties. Method: 516 students from a private university completed the questionnaire. Factor analysis and correlations were used to determine evidence of validity. Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega were used to evaluate reliability. Results: Contrary to the original 2-factor structure, our results suggested a single-factor solution that explained 52% of the variance; the items had high loadings. The model was confirmed by a best fit (χ2 = 362.84; df = 35; p < .001; CFI = .99; TLI = .98; SRMR = .06; RMSEA = .10...
