          Abstract

          Introducción. El estrés se asocia a un pobre desempeño académico y problemas de salud mental entre los universitarios. Existen pocos instrumentos adaptados a esta población que identifiquen las fuentes de estrés académico. Objetivo. Evaluar las propiedades psicométricas del cuestionario de estrés académico en la universidad (CEAU) en estudiantes mexicanos. Sujetos y métodos. Contestaron el CEAU y la escala de malestar psicológico de Kessler (K-10) 232 alumnos de primer año de Medicina. El CEAU contiene 19 ítems sobre situaciones escolares potencialmente estresantes, mientras que la K-10 mide el malestar psicológico global inespecífico con 10 ítems. La validez de constructo se evaluó por composición factorial y por convergencia con la K-10. Las medidas de confiabilidad se obtuvieron por consistencia interna y estabilidad temporal. Resultados. Los reactivos se agruparon en los cuatro componentes de su versión original y explicaron el 45% de la varianza total, con cargas factoriales bajas en dos reactivos y uno fuera del factor propuesto inicialmente; eliminar este último reactivo produjo un mejor ajuste de los componentes y aumentó la explicación de la varianza al 57%. La consistencia interna fue de alfa = 0,88 para la puntuación total, con valores de alfa = 0,70-0,83 en sus subescalas y una estabilidad temporal de r(202) = 0,76 (p = 0,0001). La correlación del CEAU con la K-10 fue de r(232) = 0,64 (p = 0,0001). Conclusiones. El CEAU cumple con los criterios de confiabilidad y validez de constructo, se ajusta a los factores propuestos y correlaciona con el malestar psicológico en el sentido esperado.

          Introduction. Stress is associated with poor academic performance and mental health problems among university students. There are few instruments adapted to this population that identify sources of academic stress. Objective. To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Academic Stress Questionnaire at University (CEAU) in Mexican students. Subjects and methods. 232 first-year medical students answered the CEAU and the Kessler psychological distress scale (K-10). The CEAU contains 19 items on potentially stressful school situations, while the K-10 measures nonspecific global psychological distress with 10 items. The construct validity was evaluated by factorial composition and by convergence with the K-10. Reliability measures were obtained by internal consistency and temporal stability. Results. The items were grouped into the four components of their original version and explained 45% of the total variance, with low factor loadings in two items and one outside the initially proposed factor; eliminating this last item produced a better fit of the components and increased the explanation of the variance to 57%. The internal consistency was α = 0.88 for the total score, with values from α = 0.70 to 0.83 in its subscales and a temporal stability of r(202) = 0.76 (p = .0001). The correlation between CEAU and K-10 was r(232) = 0.64 (p = .0001). Conclusions. The CEAU meets the reliability and construct validity criteria, adjusts to the proposed factors and correlates with psychological distress in the expected sense.

            The prevalence and correlates of depression, anxiety, and stress in a sample of college students.

            Over the past four years, the Franciscan University Counseling Center has reported a 231% increase in yearly visits, as well as a 173% increase in total yearly clients. This trend has been observed at many universities as mental health issues pose significant problems for many college students. The objective of this study was to investigate potential correlates of depression, anxiety, and stress in a sample of college students.

              The prevalence and socio-demographic correlations of depression, anxiety and stress among a group of university students.

              The mental health of university students is an area of increasing concern worldwide. The objective of this study is to examine the prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress among a group of Turkish university students. Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-42) completed anonymously in the students' respective classrooms by 1,617 students. Depression, anxiety and stress levels of moderate severity or above were found in 27.1, 47.1 and 27% of our respondents, respectively. Anxiety and stress scores were higher among female students. First- and second-year students had higher depression, anxiety and stress scores than the others. Students who were satisfied with their education had lower depression, anxiety and stress scores than those who were not satisfied. The high prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress symptoms among university students is alarming. This shows the need for primary and secondary prevention measures, with the development of adequate and appropriate support services for this group.
