“…The primary objective of this research was to measure the levels of fear of COVID-19, anxiety, stress, and depression and their possible differences by gender among university students in Ecuador. It is clear that the participants, as a group, show high levels of stress, anxiety, and depression, and the levels recorded are above the cut-off points described in the scientific literature for each of these phenomena in similar populations of young undergraduates (e.g., Román et al, 2016). This shows that major psychological health problems exist among university students in the context of the COVID-19 lockdown, which is consistent with the moderate to severe symptoms of anxiety, stress, and depression observed in the Chinese population in the early stages of the pandemic (Huang and Zhao, 2020).…”

Fear of COVID-19, Stress, and Anxiety in University Undergraduate Students: A Predictive Model for Depression

et al. 2020

Depression is a disabling illness which increases the risk of suicide. The Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to a rise in fear, anxiety, stress, and depression among the population: of these, university undergraduates from countries severely affected by COVID-19 are some of the most vulnerable of all, as they face strict lockdown measures and have fewer resources to cope with it. The aim of this study was to analyze the levels of fear of COVID-19, stress, anxiety, and depression during lockdown among undergraduates from Ecuador, and to test these possible predictors of depression using a model taken from our study of the scientific literature. A total of 640 undergraduates (72% women) between 18 and 47 years old (M = 21.69; S.D = 4.093) were surveyed. The resulting mean levels found for stress, anxiety, and depression were above levels considered non-pathological. Women showed higher levels of fear of COVID-19 than men. The statistical prediction for depression showed a good fit. This depression could be related: both directly and positively by fear of COVID-19 and stress, and indirectly, as a result of these two factors, positively mediated by anxiety. Our study concludes by highlighting the important role that the complex relationships between fear, stress, and anxiety can play in the development of depression symptoms and how they can be taken into account in programs aimed at preventing and alleviating this disorder. We propose some general measures for reducing fear of COVID-19 and stress and suggest that specific programs be designed to control and overcome anxiety among undergraduates.

“…On the other hand, we find high correlations between the three instrument scales, both in the correlation rates between the latent factors and between the direct scores of each scale. This finding is not surprising given that studies using clinical scales of anxiety and depression often reflect moderately high or high correlations between the two constructs [14,15,34,68]. This precisely indicates that the impossibility of adequately discriminating between symptoms associated with depression and anxiety is the biggest problem when using DASS-21 in Hispanic populations.…”

“…DASS-21 has been translated into Spanish and validated into Hispanic populations, revealing adequate psychometric properties [12][13][14][15]. The short version has shown adequate psychometric properties in validation studies of adults, the general-population, and in clinical samples.…”

“…In the case of Puerto Rico, very few researchers have conducted studies to analyze the psychometric properties of the most commonly used depression and anxiety measures in clinical scenarios [9][10][11]. Therefore, we do not find instrumental studies that evaluate the psychometric properties of the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS-21) in Puerto Rico, which is an instrument that in recent years has taken on become much more widely used for Spanish-speaking populations [12][13][14][15].…”

The main purpose of this research was to examine the construct validity of the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS-21) in order to determine whether it is able to adequately discriminate between symptoms of depression and anxiety in the Hispanic population in Puerto Rico. This study has an instrumental design. A total of 1073 Hispanics participated in this psychometric study. The results showed that the DASS-21 has serious psychometric deficiencies, especially related to the construct validity, as well as convergent and discriminatory validity. In addition, it was shown that DASS-21 do not replicate the three-dimensional structure of the original instrument in the Hispanic community. Finally, it was confirmed that the DASS-21 have difficulty in properly identifying and discriminating between symptoms associated with depression and anxiety in a Hispanic population.

“…Dentro de este contexto, los adolescentes pueden sentirse aceptados e integrados por el grupo o, por el contrario, rechazados, acosados y sufrir toda clase de violencia virtual. Si ellos se vuelven permeables a estos aspectos negativos, puede verse afectada su salud mental (Román, Santibáñez & Vinet, 2016), ya que las TIC no solo acarrean ventajas sino también algunas desventajas. En muchos casos, permiten el anonimato, lo que ha conllevado a que sean utilizadas por algunos usuarios para incitar la violencia y, en otros casos, para realizar violencia cibernética.…”

En el siglo XXI, una característica común en los adolescentes, en tanto miembros de una sociedad global, es que las tecnologías de información y comunicación están presentes en su vida cotidiana, en los ámbitos personal, familiar, amical y educativo. Viven para ellas y por ellas, asumiendo los riesgos y beneficios que impliquen. Por ello, en esta investigación se abordó el ciberbullying y la depresión como problemas sociales y de riesgo que afectan a los adolescentes en todo el mundo. El objetivo fue determinar la relación entre ciberbullying (cibervictimización verbal y escrita, visual, exclusión online y suplantación) y la depresión en estudiantes de educación secundaria de una institución pública de mujeres de Piura, en Perú.El estudio es de tipo descriptivo, con diseño no experimental, transeccional, correlacional. Se ejecutó con una muestra de 363 estudiantes mujeres de 11 a 16 años de edad. Y los resultados demostraron que existe relación entre el ciberbullying y la depresión (p=.020). La dimensión cibervictimización verbal y escrita tiene una mayor incidencia en la depresión (p=.010); aunque es mayor la significancia en la relación entre cibervictimización visual y depresión (p=.024). En cambio, no se encontró relación entre la exclusión online y suplantación.
