    ABSTRACT Purpose The study aimed to analyze the relationship between emotional sensitivity and work performance in firefighters from Metropolitan Lima, considering potential differences by sex. Method A cross‐sectional, predictive, and non‐experimental design was applied with a sample of 366 firefighters. Participants completed the Emotional Sensitivity Scale and the Individual Work Performance Scale. Data analysis included Spearman's correlation and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS‐SEM). Findings Results revealed a weak but statistically significant negative correlation between emotional sensitivity and work performance ( ρ = –0.19; p = 0.001), with Positive Emotional Sensitivity showing the strongest association ( ρ = –0.22; p < 0.001). Among males, Positive Emotional Sensitivity negatively predicted Work Performance in the Context ( β = –0.235; f 2 = 0.050), while Negative Egocentric Sensitivity also showed a negative effect ( β = –0.190; f 2 = 0.030). For females, Negative Egocentric Sensitivity exerted a stronger negative influence on Work Performance in the Context ( β = –0.392; f 2 = 0.133). No significant associations were found between emotional sensitivity and counterproductive behaviors ( p > 0.05). Conclusion The findings indicate that emotional sensitivity, particularly its positive and negative egocentric forms, may adversely affect work performance in firefighters. These results underscore the importance of developing differentiated emotional regulation and stress management interventions tailored by sex to support occupational performance in high‐demand professions.

    This study aimed to develop and validate a scale with appropriate psychometric properties to measure satisfaction with cleanliness in adults from San Román, Peru. Using a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional design, data were collected from 400 participants for exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and 466 for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The resulting 19-item Cleanliness Satisfaction Scale (ESL-AK) comprises four dimensions: Fresh Waste, Dust Residues, Cleaning Quality, and Visual Impact. The scale demonstrated strong content validity (Aiken’s V = 0.95) and an adequate factorial structure (KMO = 0.931; Bartlett’s test p <.001; total variance explained = 58.3%). CFA confirmed the model’s good fit (CFI = 0.960, TLI = 0.953, RMSEA = 0.075, SRMR = 0.038), with factor loadings ranging from λ = 0.63 to λ = 0.91. Reliability analyses indicated high internal consistency (α = 0.862 to 0.902; ω = 0.864 to 0.903). Invariance testing across sex-supported configural, metric, and partial scalar invariance (ΔCFI ≤ 0.002) confirms that the scale operates similarly for males and females and enables valid latent mean comparisons. These results support the ESL-AK as a valid and reliable instrument for assessing cleanliness satisfaction.

    Introduction The present study aimed to analyze the effect of social media use on entrepreneurial intention among university students in Peru, considering gender as a moderating variable. Method A quantitative approach was employed, using a non-experimental, cross-sectional, and explanatory design. Data were analyzed through a structural equation model based on partial least squares and multigroup analysis (PLS-MGA). The sample consisted of 763 university students, comprising 54.78% females and 45.22% males. Results The results showed a satisfactory model fit and revealed that the dimension “obsession with being informed” had a positive and significant effect on the components of entrepreneurial intention: personal ( β = 0.214), frequency ( β = 0.210), and social ( β = 0.306). In contrast, problematic social media use exhibited negative effects, particularly on the personal factor ( β = –0.303). The multigroup analysis confirmed the moderation hypothesis, showing that in men, the “need” dimension exerted a stronger effect on entrepreneurial resources ( β = 0.287), whereas in women, “obsession” had a greater impact on the social component ( β = 0.308). Conclusion Gender significantly moderates the relationship between social media use and entrepreneurial intention, underscoring the need to promote inclusive pedagogical strategies that enhance digital and entrepreneurial competencies, with a focus on gender equity.

    Abstract Objective To determine the association between sociodemographic factors and breast self‐examination (BSE) practices among women of childbearing age from the rural communities of El Portillo and Pomaticla, Peru. Methods A cross‐sectional, correlational study with a nonprobability convenience sample of 605 women aged 15–49 years was conducted. BSE practice was assessed using a validated instrument (Cronbach α = 0.982). Data were analyzed with χ 2 tests and multinomial logistic regression using R software. Results Educational level, region of birth, marital status, health insurance, and absence of breast injury history were significantly associated with adequate BSE practices ( P < 0.05). Women with complete high school education had a significantly higher likelihood of adequate BSE practice (odds ratio, 10.62; P < 0.001). Residence in Pomaticla and being affiliated with EsSalud were also associated with increased practice. Conclusion Sociodemographic factors significantly influence BSE practices. Targeted health education strategies are needed to promote early detection behaviors in vulnerable female populations in rural Peru.

    Objective: We analyzed how spirituality and conflict resolution strategies relate to couple satisfaction, examining gender differences among adults living in Lima. Methodology: A nonexperimental, cross-sectional, quantitative, predictive design was employed with a convenience sample of 339 adults (46.6% women and 53.4% men). Participants completed the Spirituality Questionnaire, the Conflict Management Strategies Scale, and the Relationship Assessment Scale. Models were estimated using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling, separately by gender. Results: Gender-specific patterns emerged. Among men, time invested in conflict resolution was positively associated with satisfaction (β = 0.382, f 2 = 0.117), whereas reflective communication related negatively (β = −0.542, f 2 = 0.091). Among women, avoidance correlated positively with satisfaction (β = 0.444, f 2 = 0.070), whereas time spent discussing conflicts correlated negatively (β = −0.141, f 2 = 0.018). Spiritual self-awareness showed a small negative association with satisfaction in both genders. Conclusions: Couple satisfaction is influenced by the interplay between spirituality and conflict strategies in gender-differentiated ways. Results reflect individual perceptions of relational quality rather than dyadic interactions. Future research should include partner-matched, longitudinal designs to clarify causal mechanisms.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: Idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) with autoimmune features is a liver condition with laboratory and histological characteristics similar to those of idiopathic autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), which despite being increasingly reported, remains largely undefined. We aimed to describe in-depth the features of this entity in a large series of patients from two prospective DILI registries. METHODS: DILI cases with autoimmune features collected in the Spanish DILI Registry and the Latin American DILI Network were compared with DILI patients without autoimmune features and with an independent cohort of patients with AIH. RESULTS: Out of 1,426 patients with DILI, 33 cases with autoimmune features were identified. Female sex was more frequent in AIH patients than in the other groups (p = .001). DILI cases with autoimmune features had significantly longer time to onset (p < .001) and resolution time (p = .004) than those without autoimmune features. Interestingly, DILI patients with autoimmune features who relapsed exhibited significantly higher total bilirubin and transaminases at onset and absence of peripheral eosinophilia than those who did not relapse. The likelihood of relapse increased over time, from 17% at 6 months to 50% 4 years after biochemical normalization. Statins, nitrofurantoin and minocycline were the drugs most frequently associated with this phenotype. CONCLUSIONS: DILI with autoimmune features shows different clinical features than DILI patients lacking characteristics of autoimmunity. Higher transaminases and total bilirubin values with no eosinophilia at presentation increase the likelihood of relapse in DILI with autoimmune features. As the tendency to relapse increases over time, these patients will require long-term follow-up.

    Abstract This study aimed to adapt and validate the Lexington Attachment to Pets Scale (LAPS) for application in the Peruvian context. An instrumental, cross-sectional design was conducted with 367 participants from Lima, Peru. Construct validity was examined using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to test a second-order hierarchical model composed of three first-order dimensions: General Attachment, Person Substitution, and Animal Welfare and Rights. The model demonstrated excellent fit indices (CFI = 0.993, TLI = 0.992, RMSEA = 0.051, SRMR = 0.057), supporting a higher-order latent factor of pet attachment. Internal consistency was excellent for the total scale (α = 0.90, ω = 0.92) and adequate for the subdimensions. Additionally, measurement invariance across sex was established at the configural, metric, scalar, and strict levels, confirming that the scale functions equivalently in men and women. These findings indicate that the Peruvian adaptation of the LAPS is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing emotional attachment to companion animals.

    Intimate couple violence, including physical, psychological, verbal, and sexual, is a public health concern. The Conflict Tactics Scales (CTS-2) measure conflict resolution tactics. This research adapted the scale to a sample of 423 Peruvian men. The age range of the sample was from 21 to 60 years. A committee of 10 experts evaluated the validity of the CTS-2, and the Aiken V validity coefficients were calculated. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed, which showed an acceptable fit. Factors F2 (Psychological aggression), F3 (Physical Aggression), and F4 (Sexual Coercion) of the CTS-2 showed significant covariance, while factor F1 (Negotiation) did not show covariance with other factors. Structural equation analysis for convergent validity showed acceptable results between the Family Communication Scale and the CTS-2 factors. The reliability was adequate according to the Alpha Ordinal (0.88). The results generally indicate adequate reliability and validity of the CTS-2, with acceptable adjustment measures. This study contributes psychometric evidence for the use of CTS-2 in the Peruvian context.

    El Trastorno Depresivo Persistente (TDP), también conocido como distimia, tiene un curso crónico y un impacto negativo en la calidad de vida de las personas, más aún en jóvenes universitarios. Este trastorno es uno de los tipos de trastornos del estado de ánimo menos estudiado y carece de instrumentos para su adecuada evaluación. Por tanto, el objetivo principal del estudio fue construir una escala para medir el TDP y evaluar preliminarmente sus propiedades psicométricas. La muestra total del estudio fue de 868 estudiantes universitarios de 18 a 34 años. Los resultados del análisis factorial exploratorio evidenciaron la presencia de un único factor. Asimismo, el análisis factorial confirmatorio reportó índices de bondad de ajuste adecuados (CFI = .98, TLI = .97, SRMR = .06, RMSEA [90 %CI]= .09[.08 - .10]) para una estructura unifactorial. Además, la escala demostró ser invariante según el sexo de los participantes. Respecto a la validez convergente, el TDP mostró covarianzas significativas con la ansiedad, depresión y satisfacción con la vida. Por último, la escala presentó elevada fiabilidad (α = .88; ω = .88). En conclusión, la escala TDP presenta preliminarmente adecuadas propiedades psicométricas para medir la presencia de patrones del trastorno depresivo persistente en jóvenes universitarios.
