(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-07-26) Asmat Cornejo, Josshelyn Dayana; Ortiz Alcántara, Mercedes Inés
The research aimed to determine the relationship between emotional impact from COVID-19 and resilience among citizens over 18 years old from Metropolitan Lima, 2023. A quantitative approach was applied with a basic, non-experimental, cross-sectional correlational design. A sample of 113 citizens from Metropolitan Lima was surveyed. The instruments used were the COVID-19 Emotional Impact Profile Questionnaire (PIE-COVID19) and the Resilience Scale. The results showed a significant inverse correlation (p < 0.05) of low strength (rho = -0.262) between emotional impact from COVID-19 and resilience. The predominant level of emotional impact from COVID-19 was low, according to 48.7% of the participants, while 74.3% showed high resilience. In conclusion, the results indicate that lower emotional impact from COVID-19 leads to higher resilience.

Suicidal ideation and post-pandemic stress in young adults in a district of Metropolitan Lima - 2023
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2024-02-28) Jimenez Merino, Arely Maru; Ortiz Alcántara, Mercedes Inés
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between suicidal ideation and stress experienced by young adults after the pandemic period in a specific district of Lima Metropolitana during 2023. A quantitative, non-experimental, and correlational methodology was adopted. The target population consisted of young adults between the ages of 20 and 29 living in the district of Chorrillos. To assess suicidal ideation, the Beck Suicidal Ideation Scale (SSI) was applied, while stress levels were measured using the Global Stress Perception Scale (EPGE-14). The results revealed that 99.2% of participants had low suicidal ideation, while 66.3% reported moderate stress levels and 21.7% reported severe stress levels. Statistical analysis showed a significant correlation (p = 0.010) between suicidal ideation and post-pandemic stress in young adults. However, a very low positive correlation (Rho = 0.173) was observed between the two variables. Based on these findings, it is concluded that there is a connection between suicidal ideation and stress levels in young adults after the pandemic, with suicidal ideation increasing as post-pandemic stress levels rise, and vice versa.
