Objective: To determine if there is a significant relationship between styles of coping with stressand anxiety in young people between the ages of 18 and 26 belonging to the San Martin region.Methodology: Quantitative approach, of a descriptive correlational type and a non-experimental, crosssectionaldesign. The population was 303 participants, obtained through a non-probability samplingfor convenience. For data collection, the Lima Anxiety Scale (EAL-20) and the Coping with StressQuestionnaire (COPE) were administered. Results: The results showed that there is a statisticallysignificant inverse relationship between two dimensions of stress coping styles, which are problemfocusedcoping and emotion-focused coping, and anxiety (rho = -0.367, p = 0.000; rho = -0.339, p =0.000 respectively).

Isaño and cola de caballo are used in Bolivia for their traditional use as a diuretic, but there are nopharmacological studies that confirm this effect. Objective: to determine the diuretic effect of theaqueous extract of isaño and cola de caballo. Methodology: male mice were used, which were dividedinto four groups, a positive and negative control and two dose groups (D1 and D2) of the extract. Bothdried plants were fractionated for the preparation of the aqueous extract, with which the preliminaryphytochemical screening was carried out, and the technique described by Lipschitz was carried out todetermine the diuretic effect. Results: The phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of flavonoidsfor the aqueous extract of cola de caballo. And the aqueous extract of Isaño showed the presenceof tannins, anthocyanins and flavonoids. The highest volume of urine collected was for the positivecontrol, and the lowest volume was for the negative control. The volumes of urine of the extract studiedwith respect to the negative and positive control are not statistically significant, but the value of thevolume of urine of the higher dose is closer to the value of the positive control. The electrolyte resultsshowed a decrease in the excretion of Na +, K + and Cl- in the urine of the problem mice with respectto the negative control group and the positive control, except the K + showed somewhat high valueswith respect to the positive control. Conclusion: The results confirm a possible diuretic effect of isañoand cola de caballo

Objective: to analyze the psychometric properties of a scale to measure the deterioration of romanticrelationships in young people from the department of Puno. Methodology: non-experimental design,cross-sectional, instrumental type and quantitative approach, it is made up of 600 subjects whovoluntarily participated in the study from an outpatient application, some type of sampling was notused, the characteristics of the population show that the most perish to both genders, their ages arebetween 18 to 26 years and all of them establish a sentimental relationship. Results: the “IRTEP”scale, in its translated version, has a validity index (V = .958) based on the evaluation of four evaluationcriteria (clarity, context, congruence and command of the construct) in 6 judges. Regarding contentvalidity, it was obtained using the KMO and Bartlett’s sphericity tests, whose values (KMO = .942; p<.05) would indicate that the instrument is appropriate for a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), whichsuggests that The instrument must have a content distributed in 4 fixed factors in the extraction, it was possible to explain 47.6% of the explained variance. Reasons that led to a more detailed analysis such as structural equations. The findings demonstrated an RMSEA = .049 less than .05; CFI = .911 and aTLI = .903 both greater than .90; these results demonstrate an adequate model fit. Conclusion: theinstrument shows good internal consistency and construct validity.

Objective: to analyze the psychometric properties of the cyberbullying coping strategies questionnaire. Methodology: the study was carried out in a sample of 250 adolescents between 14 and 17 years of age for the pilot test and 300 adolescents between 12 and 17 years of age between men and women, the data collection was carried out virtually by means of the Google form platform. Result: the questionnaire on cyberbullying coping strategies in its final version has a validity index (V = .98) that was obtained thanks to the evaluation of six expert professionals and having 4 evaluation criteria (Clarity, Context, Congruence and Construct domain). Regarding content validity, it was achieved through the KMO and Bartlett’s sphericity tests whose values were (KMO = .876; P <.05) which would translate into which instrument is suitable for confirmatory factor analysis ( AFC), which suggests that the instrument must have a content distributed in 2 factors that explain 41.7% of the accumulated variance, a more detailed analysis was carried out using the structural equations, in which RMSEA = 0.077 greater than the , 005; CFI = 0.882, and UN TLI = 0.860, both results show an adequate fit. Regarding the reliability of the instrument through Cronbach’s alpha, this reached (.873), likewise the reliability of the two dimensions of the questionnaire was analyzed by calculating the McDonald’s Omega coefficient (evaluation of threats and evaluation of coping) obtaining a reliability of .957 and. 851 respectively, which would indicate which instrument has adequate global reliability. Conclusion: the instrument shows good internal consistency and construct validity

Objective: to determine the relationship between risky sexual behaviors and family functioning in students aged 14 to 19 from public and private institutions in Lima. Methodology: quantitative approach, non-experimental design, correlational and cross-sectional type since the variables are not manipulated. In data collection, the Sexual Behavior Questionnaire and the Family Functioning Perception Test (FFSIL) (designed by Pérez, Cuesta, Louro and Bayarre in 1997) were applied. The population was made up of 201 students from the 3rd, 4th and 5th grades of the secondary level. Results: In the first variable, the significant percentages in family dynamics are 34.3% and 36.8% in “Moderately functional” and “Functional”, respectively, with a “Adequate” family environment mostly perceived; likewise, in the second variable, 28.4% indicate that they are sexually active, being the age of 12 years the earliest in sexual initiation. Finally, in the association between both variables, a significant correlation is obtained between Family functioning and Group sexual relations (p <0.05, p = .004), however, a negative relationship is perceived between the other risky sexual behaviors and family functioning. Conclusion: There is a negative relationship between risky sexual behaviors and family functioning, however, a positive relationship was found between sexual behavior “group sex” and family functioning.

Objective: to determine if there is a significant relationship between perceived social support and risk of addiction to social networks. Methodology: a non-experimental, cross-sectional, correlational type and quantitative approach design. 153 students were surveyed, using a non-probability sampling, with inclusion criteria, students from 3rd to 5th grade, with internet connection and ages between 14 and 18 years. The instruments used were the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MMSP), reaching a confidence index of .93 and a validity of V = .99. Regarding the scale of Risk of Addiction to Social Networks (C’ARS), it reaches a degree of confidence, 90 and validity of V =, 1; both instruments measure what they should measure and consistently. Results: there is an indirect and highly significant correlation (rho = - .303; p <.05), likewise with respect to the specific objectives of the family (rho = -, 350; p <.05) and other significant ones (rho = -, 247; p <. 05), on the other hand, in the specific objective of friends, no indirect relationship was found (rho = -. 143; p> .05). Conclusion: students who have a higher score in perceived social support from family and other significant ones, lower scores will have at risk of addiction to social networks, on the other hand, in adolescents who perceive support from friends it would not have the same effect because in social networks they canfind support, too, they run the risk of falling into problematic use.

Objective: to determine if there is a significant relationship between time management and academiccommitment in psychology students from a private university. Methodology: non-experimental design,cross-sectional, correlational type and quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 217 students,who were selected through stratified probability sampling where they were divided into 5 populationgroups of psychology students aged 18 years and over, taking into account men and women who areenrolled in the student cycle 2021-1. The instruments used were the Time Management Behavior Scale(TMBS), this instrument reaches a confidence index of .867 and a validity of V = .99. Regarding theUtrecht Work Engagement Student (UWES) instrument, this instrument achieves a confidence index of.917 and a validity of V = .99; These instruments indicate a degree of validity and reliability that showsthat both instruments measure what they should measure consistently. Results: time managementand academic commitment are positively and statistically significantly correlated (r = .335, p = .000).Likewise, there is a correlation in the vigor dimension (Rho = .373; p = .000), dedication (Rho =. 231;p = .000) and Absorption (Rho = .287; p = .000), being highly significant. Conclusion: the greater thetime management, the greater the academic commitment.

Objective: to determine the relationship between the inclination to infidelity and the ways of lovingin university students. Methodology: non-experimental design, quantitative approach, correlationaltype, cross-sectional. The population consisted of 195 university students, with ages ranging from 17to 36 years, the sampling was non-probabilistic for convenience. Results: a significant correlationwas found between the inclination to infidelity and the ludus and mania love styles (p <0.05), however,no significant relationship was found with the love styles: Eros, storge, pragma and agape (p> 0.05).Conclusion: there is a significant relationship between the tendency to infidelity and the styles of love,ludus and mania, since the behaviors of these types of love tend to ephemeral, insecure love, with littlecommitment.

Introducción: los resultados visuales de la cirugía de catarata en pacientes con uveítis son menos predecibles.Objetivo: analizar los resultados visuales de pacientes con uveítis operados de catarata en la provincia de Pinar del Río entre enero de 2018 y agosto de 2020.Métodos: se realizó un estudio observacional, analítico de cohorte en el Hospital General Docente “Abel Santamaría Cuadrado” de la provincia de Pinar del Río. El universo estuvo constituido por pacientes con uveítis que asistieron a la consulta de infecciones e inflamaciones oculares y recibieron cirugía de catarata; la muestra quedó conformada por 42 ojos de 42 pacientes. Para el análisis estadístico se empleó Chi cuadrado de independencia, probabilidad exacta de Fisher y riesgo relativo con su intervalo de confianza; se utilizó una significación estadística del 95 %.Resultados: el 83,3 % de los ojos logró una agudeza visual final superior a 0,3. El resultado visual no mostró diferencias según grupos de edades (p=0,679), sexo (p=0,690), color de la piel (p=1,000), zona de residencia (p=1,000) y agudeza visual preoperatoria (p=0,569). Hubo diferencias significativas según clasificación anatómica (p<0,001), técnica quirúrgica (p=0,011) y complicaciones intraoperatorias (p=0,002). El resultado visual y las complicaciones posoperatorias no mostraron asociación.Conclusión: la cirugía de catarata en pacientes con uveítis logra una evidente mejoría en la agudeza visual final; los resultados son favorables en casos de uveítis anterior, tratados con facoemulsificación y ausencia de complicaciones intraoperatorias. 

Introducción: la infertilidad constituye un evento que implica una crisis generadora de intenso estrés, tanto individual como de pareja. Por lo que se hace necesario la asunción de conductas que favorezcan la resiliencia ante la nueva condición.Objetivo: caracterizar el proceso de la resiliencia en la pareja infértil durante el período de inseminación artificial, atendidas en el Centro de Reproducción Asistida del Hospital General Docente “Abel Santamaría Cuadrado” en el periodo noviembre 2020 a febrero 2021.Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo, de enfoque mixto donde el universo lo constituyó 17 parejas en inseminación artificial. Por criterios de saturación muestral se trabajó con nueve de ellas, atendidas en Consulta de Reproducción entre noviembre de 2020 y febrero de 2021. Resultados: presentaron niveles altos de resiliencia cuatro parejas, tres parejas en niveles medios y dos mostraron niveles muy heterogéneos. Las dimensiones de la resiliencia más elevadas fueron la autonomía y la autoeficacia. Las mujeres durante este proceso fueron más resilientes que los hombres (56 %), los hombres mostraron pasividad y actitudes derrotistas respecto al proceso (33 %).Conclusiones: las parejas con elevados niveles de resiliencia favorecieron el proceso de inseminación artificial desde el bienestar psicológico que alcanzaron, inhibiendo los estados emocionales negativos que atentaron contra el éxito del proceso. La autoeficacia y la autonomía condujeron a las parejas a manifestar confianza y seguridad en sí mismos y en el éxito del proceso.
