However, very few deal with higher education students, so this research examines this relationship in Honduran university students. The sample consists of 345 undergraduate students from the San Pedro y San Pablo campus (SPSP) of the Catholic University of Honduras (UNICAH) between 18 and 45 years old, 75.1 % female and 24.9 % male. Most students are at the lower levels of the sense of life (prone to experience noogenic neurosis, show existential emptiness or be in a zone of frustration, alarm, and risk), and 59.4 % manifest psychic alterations. There is also a significant inverse relationship between the meaning of life and mental health and their respective dimensions. The article recommends a preventive and corrective psychological approach to address the problem.Existen varios estudios que han investigado la relación entre el sentido de vida y la salud mental, aunque muy pocos en estudiantes de educación superior, por lo que esta investigación examina la relación entre el sentido de vida y la salud mental en estudiantes universitarios hondureños. Se utilizó una muestra de 345 estudiantes de pregrado de la Universidad Católica de Honduras (UNICAH), campus San Pedro y San Pablo (SPSP) entre 18 y 45 años de edad, el 75.1 % correspondiente al sexo femenino y 24.9 % al masculino. La mayoría de los estudiantes se encuentran en los niveles inferiores del sentido de vida (pudiendo experimentar neurosis noógena, mostrar vacío existencial o estar en una zona de frustración: alarma y riesgo) y un 59.4 % manifiestan alteraciones psíquicas. Existe también una relación inversa significativa entre el sentido de vida y la salud mental, así como con sus respectivas dimensiones. La problemática evidenciada debe ser gestionada mediante un abordaje psicológico preventivo y correctivo.Universidad de Lima2023-08-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://revistas.ulima.edu.pe/index.php/Persona/article/view/620810.26439/persona2023.n26(1).6208Persona; Vol. 26 No. 1 (2023); 79-99Persona; Vol. 26 Núm. 1 (2023); 79-99Persona; v. 26 n. 1 (2023); 79-992309-90621560-613910.26439/persona2023.n26(1)reponame:Revistas - Universidad de Limainstname:Universidad de Limainstacron:ULIMAspahttps://revistas.ulima.edu.pe/index.php/Persona/article/view/6208/6467https://revistas.ulima.edu.pe/index.php/Persona/article/view/6208/6469info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/62082025-03-28T12:48:03Z
