Objective: to know the explanatory potential of coping strategies on the symptoms of psychological disorders in Peruvian university students in the context of COVID-19. Methodology: quantitative with a structural equation model. The multidimensional coping strategies inventory COPE and the self-report questionnaire of symptoms of mental disorders SRQ were applied to 699 university students. Results: Three explanatory models were developed; the second model was considered because it obtained better goodness-of-fit indices. This model reflects that symptoms of psychological disorders are explained by avoidance strategies, as they are risk factors. Coping strategies are protective of psychological disorders, being moderately linked with strategies oriented to social and emotional well-being.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between job satisfaction, burnout syndrome (BS) and depressive symptoms (DS) based on the job demand-control framework model on a nationally representative sample of physicians working in the Peruvian Health System. Setting We carried out a secondary data analysis of the National Survey of Satisfaction of Users in Health 2016 in Peru. Primary and secondary outcome measures Our study assessed the development of the predictive model and had two parts: (1) to evaluate the association among the variables based on the job demand-control framework, and (2) to assess the proposed model acceptability using the structural equation modelling approach to estimate goodness-of-fit indices (GOFIs). Participants We excluded physicians older than 65 years, who did not report income levels or who had missing data related to the workplace. Thus, we analysed 2100 part...
