Análisis de variables psicológicas asociadas a la salud y productividad en la universidad

PDF

Resumen

El consumo de sustancias adictivas y los problemas de ansiedad y depresión constituyen algunos de las complicaciones de la salud más frecuentes en la población, con serios costes para su bienestar y la productividad de la comunidad o institución a la que pertenecen. Se presenta un proyecto dirigido a analizar la distribución del estrés percibido y variables que modulan su impacto sobre la salud de la comunidad universitaria, incluyendo inflexibilidad psicológica y compromiso vital, predictores de bienestar psicológico. Se seleccionaron variables y escalas breves y adecuadas psicométricamente para la evaluación online anónima de profesores, estudiantes y personal de administración y servicios. Las variables seleccionadas fueron: estrés psicológico y variables mediadoras de su impacto sobre el consumo de sustancias y la salud: apoyo social, personalidad y estilos de afrontamiento. Los indicadores criterio de salud fueron: niveles de ansiedad y depresión, consumo de sustancias y satisfacción vital y laboral. El proyecto permitirá obtener perfiles que reflejen la distribución de las variables analizadas en la comunidad universitaria. Se discuten las implicaciones de los resultados esperados en el diseño y priorización de intervenciones dirigidas a la promoción de la salud, bienestar y productividad de la comunidad universitaria.
