Abstract

The article presents the psychosocial profile of student's first semester, product of a culminated investigation in the Faculty of Education (conformed by six degrees) of a Private University in Bogota (Colombia). The objective was to analyze the psychosocial profile of students in the socio-demographic, health, recreational, academic-vocational and emotional dimensions. A descriptive quantitative approach was used as a methodology, with a sample of 828 new students in 2016; the form with the characterization instrument consisted of 68 reagents with the five above-mentioned dimensions; the data were analyzed with descriptive statistics. All the ethical care arranged in the Declaration of Helsinki of 1975 and Resolution 8430 of 1993 of the Ministry of Health of Colombia for an investigation without risk were contemplated. The results reflected an overview of psychosocial vulnerability that could affect future rates of desertion. In the socio-economic factors showed low family economic resources, low employability and low support in scholarships. Learning difficulties such as attention, memory or concentration, as well as depressive tendencies, anxiety and family and couple difficulties were identified. The results reflect a high vulnerability in the group studied from the economic, mental health, academic and emotional dimensions, being important to establish inter-institutional agreements and local support networks that sponsor integral intervention processes.
