    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.

    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.

    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.

    Introduction: To determine the prevalence of domestic violence among users of a health center through a retrospective longitudinal analysis by age groups and gender. Methods: This is a retrospective longitudinal study based on data obtained from a health center in Pichari, Cusco, Peru. The sample obtained was 13,040 users of the Comprehensive Health Insurance (SIS) by non-probabilistic sampling. The evaluation was carried out using the Domestic Violence Screening Form (VIF) of the Ministry of Health (MINSA). Results: We found that children and older people have higher survival rates regarding domestic violence, the cumulative risk of domestic violence over time at different stages of development is highest in adolescence, followed by the young stage. Likewise, the cumulative risk is consistently higher for the female gender. Conclusions: Domestic violence presents a higher risk in adolescents, young people, and women. These findings highlight the urgent need to implement concrete measures to address this problem, such as prevention programs, mental health education, and strengthening support and care services for victims and their families.

    <ns3:p>Abstract* Background The digital age has brought numerous technological advances that have transformed our way of living and relating. Among them, Social media have revolutionized how we communicate and share information. However, there is a silent danger behind this seemingly harmless tool: Social media addiction. For this reason, the objective of this re-search was to determine if emotional intelligence and self-esteem predict addiction to Social media in Peruvian university students. Methods Therefore, a cross-sectional predictive design study was developed, in which 289 Peruvian university students participated voluntarily, whose ages fluctuated between 23.61 years with a standard deviation of 5.88 years, of which 54.06% were female and 45.94% were male. In addition, to measure the variables, the Wong-Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale – EAR, and the Social media addiction questionnaire (ARS) were used. Results Linear regression results show that self-esteem (SELF) is the strongest predictor across all models, with beta coefficients of -0.293 for Social Media Obsession (SMO), -0.225 for Lack of Control, and -0.153 (LAU) for Excessive Social Media Use (USO). Regarding the emotional intelligence dimensions, it is observed that Appraisal of Own Emo-tions (SEA) and Use of Own Emotions (UEO) have weak negative effects on SMO addiction, with beta coefficients ranging from -0.072 to -0.136. Conclusions It is concluded that the models explain 17.2% of the variance in SMO, 14.8% in LAU, and 9.2% in USO. These values suggest that, while self-esteem and emotional intelligence influence SMO addiction, other additional factors may also play an important role.</ns3:p>

    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.

    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 &lt; 0.05). Women with complete high school education had a significantly higher likelihood of adequate BSE practice (odds ratio, 10.62; P &lt; 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.

    This study aimed to determine if academic burnout and family communication predict life satisfaction in Peruvian university students. The design was cross-sectional predictive, and 708 Peruvian university students participated. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), the Family Communication Scale (FCS), and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) were used to obtain information on the variables. Descriptive and inferential analysis used structural equation modeling and the Robust Maximum Likelihood Estimator. The results present a negative relationship between academic burnout and Life Satisfaction with a significant estimate of −0.849 ( p &amp;lt; 0.001), with a beta coefficient ( β ) of −0.469, and a positive relationship between Family Communication and Life Satisfaction, showing a significant positive estimate of 0.436 ( p &amp;lt; 0.001), with a beta coefficient ( β ) of 0.420. These results confirm the need to implement programs that provide guidance to students on academic burnout and how to prevent it. Likewise, strategies to improve family communication must be incorporated in order to improve students’ life satisfaction. In conclusion, these findings confirm that AB and FC are predictive factors of LS, academic burnout decreases life satisfaction, and family communication increases life satisfaction in Peruvian university students.
