Investigadores Colombianos en Brasil: características biosociodemográficas, bienestar, ansiedad, estrés y depresión
Abstract
El presente tuvo por objetivo identificar las características biosociodemográficas, el bienestar subjetivo y algunos indicadores de ansiedad, estrés y depresión de colombianos estudiantes de posgrado en Brasil. Participaron 173 estudiantes (48,6% hombres, 51,4% mujeres, maestría: 43,39%, doctorado: 43,39% y pos doctorado: 5,20%) reclutados por medio de las redes sociales, plataformas de currículos, algunas instituciones y programas de fomento a la investigación. La colecta de datos fue realizada por medio de una encuesta en línea que incluyó un Cuestionario Biosociodemográfico, la Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale-Short Form (DASS-21), la Escala de Satisfacción con la vida (SWLS) y la Escala de Afecto Positivo y Negativo (PANAS). Se encontraron índices normales de ansiedad, estrés, depresión, afectos positivos, afectos negativos, y en la mayoría de los casos alta satisfacción con la vida. Las pruebas t de Student y Chi Cuadrado no mostraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas para las anteriores variables entre los estudiantes de maestría y doctorado. Estos hallazgos ofrecen una visión inicial con respecto a la situación de los estudiantes colombianos, que puede ser útil para futuros acompañamiento en sus procesos de vinculación académica a las universidades brasileras.
