El presente trabajo tiene por introducción: Es frecuente que los estudiantes de medicina humana (EMH) presenten malestar psicológico, como ansiedad, y la resiliencia se plantea como un potencial factor protector frente a ello; no obstante, en el Perú se cuenta con evidencia fragmentada sobre ambas variables, pero aún no se ha explorado en profundidad la magnitud de su relación en contextos andinos. Objetivo: Determinar la asociación entre el nivel de resiliencia y ansiedad en estudiantes de medicina humana de dos universidades del Cusco en el año 2025. Métodos: Estudio observacional, transversal, correlacional, realizado con una muestra de 558 EMH. Para la recolección de datos se aplicaron una ficha sociodemográfica, la Escala de Resiliencia de Connor-Davidson (CD-RISC 10) y el Inventario de Ansiedad de Beck (BAI), ambos válidos y confiables. Resultados: El 50.9% de encuestado...

Objective: To determine the perception of possible infection caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and associated complications according to the labor sector in Peru. Methods: We performed an observational, cross sectional, and secondary data analysis. The study had three dependent variables that were obtained from a locally validated questionnaire, in which it is asked whether the professionals had the perception that they could be infected with SARS-CoV-2 at work, or could transmit the virus to their family/friends, and regarding the possibility of complications related to the infection. Results: Of the 2843 workers participating in the study, those in the health sector perceived that they were more likely to be infected at work. In the multivariate analysis, adjusted for four variables, health sector workers also perceived that they could be infected...

Objective: To determine the association between depression, anxiety, and stress according to sociodemographic and occupational factors in Peruvian health professionals during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods: Cross-sectional analytical and multicentre study, based on a virtual survey sent to Peruvian health personnel (from the 25 Peruvian regions) working during the COVID-19 pandemic. The three dependent variables (depression, anxiety, and stress) were measured with the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale -21 (DASS-21) (Cronbach’s Alpha: 0.93) and compared with sociodemographic and occupational variables. P-values were obtained through generalized linear models, adjusted for each location where the survey was sent. Results: Of the 550 participants, 2%, 13%, and 3% of them had severe or very severe depression, anxiety, and stress, respectively. In the multivar...
