Bienestar psicológico en estudiantes de carreras de la salud

Abstract

A theoretical model of psychological well-being that encompasses 6 distinct dimensions of wellness (Autonomy, Environmental Mastery, Personal Growth, Positive Relations With Others, Purpose in Life, Self-Acceptance) was tested with data from a nationally representative sample of adults (iV -1,108), aged 25 and older, who participated in telephone interviews. Confirmatory factor analyses provided support for the proposed 6-factor model, with a single second-order super factor. The model was superior in fit over single-factor and other artifactual models. Age and sex differences on the various well-being dimensions replicated prior findings. Comparisons with other frequently used indicators (positive and negative affect, life satisfaction) demonstrated that the latter neglect key aspects of positive functioning emphasized in theories of health and well-being.

Bienestar psicológico en médicos residentes de una universidad pública en México

“…Under this line, the results showed that most of the population studied has medium to low levels of PW, after considering the global scores. In the analysis of the sociodemographic variables, men had the lowest levels, while those living in consensual union and those who came from outside the host city had the lowest levels, similar to what was found in a study carried out in Chile, in students of health careers (19). It should be noted that the scale was validated with the study population and that better adjustments were found with only 4 dimensions and not with 6, as in the original Ryff scale, similar to the validation made in Mexican university students in 2017 (31).…”

“…In general, people with high levels of PW have been shown to cope better with the demands and challenges of the environment (18), are more productive and valued at work, endure pain better, take better care of their health, show more flexible thinking and accept different opinions (14); in addition, some research shows that PW has a role in both prevention and recovery from physical illness (7). Other studies have shown that an education based on psychological wellbeing improves students' learning and creativity (19), and helps them to be more motivated and perform better academically (20,21).…”

El optimismo y su relación con el bienestar psicológico

“…El término bienestar psicológico es caracterizado por ser multidimensional y, como sostienen Barrientos et al (2017), puede ser definido como el crecimiento personal y las capacidades de un individuo, a partir de las cuales éste muestra indicadores de un funcionamiento positivo. Constituye, afirman los mismos, una experiencia personal que se construye a lo largo del tiempo con el desarrollo psicológico del sujeto y con la capacidad de relacionarse positivamente con sus experiencias, teniendo en cuenta la incorporación activa de medidas positivas y no solamente la ausencia de aspectos negativos vivenciados.…”

¿Puede el optimismo mediar el efecto negativo de la ansiedad rasgo sobre el bienestar psicológico?

“…Diferentes estudios han demostrado como el contexto sociocultural influye en el nivel bienestar y en el significado social e individual de "estar bien", "sentirse bien" o "tener bienestar" (Ryff, 1989;Schimmack, Radhakrishnan, Oishi, Dzokoto, & Ahadi, 2002;Triandis, 1994;D´Anello, 2006, Muratori & Bobowik, 2015. En este sentido, se ha visto, como el contexto disciplinar y académico puede estar relacionado con el nivel de bienestar psicológico de los estudiantes de diferentes carreras (Veliz-Burgos & Apodaca, 2012), y como el nivel BP general varía en función del año académico que esté cursando el estudiante, no demostrándose si, una línea clara de variación (Sandoval, Dorner & Véliz, 2017).…”
