Se evaluaron a 113 madres que acudieron a sus controles postnatales en una posta de salud de la ciudad. Se utilizó la Escala de Depresión Postparto de Edimburgo, previo consentimiento informado. Para efectos del estudio, se valoraron las propiedades psicométricas del instrumento, reportándose adecuados niveles de validez y confiabilidad para la muestra evaluada. Resultados: Los resultados indican que aproximadamente, el 41% de las madres no tiene riesgo de depresión postparto, 14% presenta riesgo y 45% tiene síntomas de depresión postparto. Asimismo, se encontró que el grado de instrucción se relaciona de manera negativa con los niveles de depresión postparto, pero no hubo diferencias significativas en función del tipo de par...

In the present study we analyze relations among personality and the computer time of using among university students of computing engineering. We work with a sample of 67 students from a private university located in Arequipa City, who fill a brief survey and the Eysenck Personality Inventory. The results show 44.7% of students are sanguine personality type the most of students dedicate more time using computers to get fun.

The present article describes the process of construction of a Family Integration Inventory which contents 52 items distributed in a Likert scale, and has optimum criteria of validity and reliability (α = .739). We obtain a KMO value of .922 which admits the factorization of the instrument As result of the factorial analysis applied in two moments we finally have a unidimensional inventory. Moreover, we settle the percentiles in three levels of family integration: high, medium and low.
