(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2025-10-16) Saravia Moya, Angélica Susana; Herrera Álvarez, Ángela María
La investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar la relación entre la evitación experiencial y los niveles de ansiedad, depresión y estrés de forma conjunta en estudiantes universitarios de Lima en el año 2025. Se empleó un enfoque cuantitativo, con un diseño no experimental de tipo básico y nivel correlacional. Los instrumentos utilizados para la recolección de los datos fueron el Cuestionario de Aceptación y Acción II (AAQ-II) y la escala de Depresión, Ansiedad y Estrés (DASS-21). Se evaluaron a 150 estudiantes universitarios. En los resultados se evidenciaron correlaciones significativas y positivas entre la evitación experiencial y la ansiedad (r=0,359), la depresión (r = 0,495) y el estrés (r = 0,499). A nivel multivariado, la correlación canónica fue de 0,575%, explicando el 33,0% de la varianza conjunta. Las correlaciones más elevadas se obtuvieron en las dimensiones tensión persistente (r =0,552), anhedonia – disforia (r = 0,515), irritabilidad y sobrecarga (r = 0,447) y desesperanza – desvalorización (r = 0,445). Se mostró el factor transdiagnóstico de la evitación experiencial en la sintomatología de ansiedad, depresión y estrés, con consecuencias físico emocionales del estudiante universitario. Se concluye que la evitación experiencial es un constructo importante en el malestar psicológico y puede incrementar los niveles de ansiedad, depresión y estrés. Se recomienda implementar programas de intervención enfocados en la aceptación emocional y la flexibilidad psicológica como la Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso (ACT) para disminuir el malestar psicológico y fortalecer el bienestar del alumno universitario.

The aim of the research was to determine the significant relationship between loneliness and suicidal ideation among adolescents in a public school in Metropolitan Lima, 2023. It was conducted using a qualitative approach with a cross-sectional correlational design. The study analyzed a population of 555 students from a public school in Metropolitan Lima, although data were collected from 408 adolescents. The instruments used were the Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale and the Paykel Suicidal Ideation Scale. The results showed that 74.8% of adolescents exhibited a medium-to-high level of loneliness, and 63% reported a medium-to-high level of suicidal ideation. The hypothesis test confirmed that loneliness and suicidal ideation are correlated (Rho = 0.239, sig = 0.000), as well as its components, Emotional Loneliness (Rho = 0.180, Sig = 0.000) and Social Loneliness (Rho = 0.190, Sig = 0.000). The conclusion was that higher levels of loneliness correspond to an increased frequency of suicidal ideations.

(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.
