    Background: Writing self-efficacy is a central construct in educational research, grounded in Bandura’s social cognitive theory. However, most available instruments have been developed in Western and urban contexts, which limits their applicability to indigenous bilingual populations, such as Quechua-speaking students in Peru. The absence of validated scales in these contexts hinders the accurate assessment of writing self-efficacy and the implementation of educational strategies tailored to their linguistic and cultural needs. Objective: This study aimed to adapt and validate the Writing Self-Efficacy Scale (QEWSE) for Quechua-speaking students in basic education in Peru, ensuring its structural validity and reliability. Methods: An instrumental study was conducted with a sample of 265 secondary school students (50.6% female, 49.4% male), using convenience sampling. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was applied to evaluate the structure of the instrument. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega coefficients. Results: The four first-order factor model (Ideation, Skills, Usage, and Self-Regulation) showed adequate fit indices (CFI = 0.92; TLI = 0.91; RMSEA = 0.05 [90% CI: 0.05–0.06]; SRMR = 0.05). However, the high inter-factor correlations (≥0.85) suggest the relevance of a second-order model, which demonstrated a reasonable fit (CFI = 0.92; TLI = 0.91; RMSEA = 0.06; SRMR = 0.05), supporting the interpretation of writing self-efficacy as a global construct. The scale showed high reliability across all factors (α and ω ranged from 0.74 to 0.90). Conclusions: The QEWS-S demonstrates strong psychometric properties for assessing writing self-efficacy among Quechua-speaking students. The hierarchical second-order model offers a more accurate theoretical and empirical representation, allowing for the reporting of an overall self-efficacy score while also providing specific scores for each dimension. These results support its use in bilingual and culturally diverse contexts and lay the groundwork for future research aimed at further examining discriminant validity and developing pedagogical interventions focused on strengthening students’ confidence and writing skills.

    Background: job satisfaction is a key focus in organizational behavior studies, particularly relevant in the healthcare sector and nursing. It influences patient care quality and staff retention and is shaped by the work environment, working conditions, managerial support, and interactions among colleagues. However, there is limited research specifically addressing the job satisfaction of nurses in Peru, a critical area in health administration. Objective: this study aimed to evaluate the metric properties of the S20/23 job satisfaction scale among Peruvian nurses. Methods: an instrumental research design was employed using a non-probabilistic sample of 325 nurses from two hospitals in Lima, Peru. The Chilean version of the S20/23 scale was used, comprising four dimensions of job satisfaction (relationship with supervision, physical work space, professional fulfillment, and training and decision-making opportunities). Data analysis included descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and reliability tests using Cronbach's Alpha and McDonald's Omega. Results: the CFA revealed a satisfactory fit for the four-dimensional structure with 18 items (χ2 = 387,290, df = 124, p < ,001, CFI = 0,92, TLI = 0,90, RMSEA = 0,08, SRMR = 0,05). The scale also demonstrated high reliability for each dimension: relationship with supervision (α = 0,90, ꞷ = 0,87), physical work space (α, ꞷ = 0,92), professional fulfillment (α, ꞷ = 0,88), and training and decision-making opportunities (α = 0,88, ꞷ = 0,84), with acceptable factor loadings (>0,70). Conclusions: the adapted 18-item S20/23 scale is a valid and reliable tool for assessing job satisfaction among Peruvian nurses. The study highlights the importance of specific job satisfaction dimensions, such as relationships with supervisors and professional development opportunities, in the Peruvian nursing context

    Translation and validation of the high-school satisfaction scale (H-SatP Scale) in Peruvian students
    Risk behaviors in schoolchildren can negatively influence and affect their wellbeing. Therefore, it is necessary to have a validated tool to measure student satisfaction in specific areas of the school. The objective of this study was to adapt to Spanish and evaluate the psychometric properties of the H-Sat Scale in Peruvian students. The participants were 691 high school students between 11 and 18 years old ( M = 13.96, SD 1.38) who were administered the H-Sat Scale. The scale was translated into Spanish (H-SatP Scale) using the forward and backward method. The scale presented adequate internal consistency for each of the five factors (ordinal α, CR, ω, and H > 70). Confirmatory analysis confirmed the five-dimensional structure (χ 2 = 620.864, df = 160; CFI = 0.982, TLI = 0.978, RMSEA = 0.065, SRMR = 0.032). This measurement tool could be used for the evaluation of interventions in school and health contexts to assess other aspects of wellbeing necessary for their development in school-age students.

    Background: Since its emergence in December 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic, triggered by SARS-CoV-2, has posed an unprecedented global challenge, deeply affecting public health and various aspects of daily life. The primary objective of this study was to explore how lifestyle factors impact the recovery and overall well-being of patients, highlighting the need to integrate improvement strategies into treatment and recovery plans. Methods: We adopted a quantitative descriptive cross-sectional design, selecting a non-probabilistic sample of convenience comprising 345 adults diagnosed with COVID-19. Participants, aged between 18 and 60 years, were evenly distributed across highland and coastal regions. We used questionnaires to assess eating habits, physical activity (using the IPAQ), and sleep quality (using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index). Results: It was found that 52.8% of participants had inadequate eating habits, while 94.2% exhibited low physical activity. Additionally, 60.9% of subjects reported poor sleep quality. No statistically significant relationship was found between eating habits and physical activity (p > 0.234), nor between these factors and sleep quality (p > 0.169). Conclusions: The research reveals a concerning trend towards inadequate eating habits and low levels of physical activity among COVID-19 patients, which, combined with poor sleep quality, could compromise their recovery and quality of life.

    Professional Quality of Life and Job Stress among Nurses in COVID-19 Areas
    Background: the COVID-19 pandemic has posed unprecedented challenges in the healthcare field, notably affecting nursing professionals working in critical areas. These challenges have impacted their professional quality of life (PQoL) and increased job stress levels, which are crucial for both the well-being of healthcare personnel and the quality of care provided to patients. Objective: this study aims to explore the relationship between professional quality of life and job stress among nurses at a medium-complexity hospital in Lima, Peru, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, correlational methodology was used, with a non-probabilistic sample of 59 nurses. Data were collected through online questionnaires assessing PQoL and job stress, using validated tools such as the Nursing Stress Scale and the PQoL-35 Questionnaire. Results: the majority of participants (69,5 %) perceive their PQoL as good, highlighting high levels of intrinsic motivation and perceived quality of life. In contrast, workload was the most negatively valued aspect. Job stress was perceived as low overall, and a moderate positive correlation between PQoL and job stress (r = 0,517; p < 0,05) was found, suggesting that better working conditions could improve PQoL. Workload was identified as a significant factor of job stress. Conclusions: despite the challenges imposed by the pandemic, nurses maintain a positive perception of their PQoL, especially in terms of intrinsic motivation and perceived quality of life. However, workload is highlighted as a critical factor of job stressBackground: the COVID-19 pandemic has posed unprecedented challenges in the healthcare field, notably affecting nursing professionals working in critical areas.

    Introduction: work performance in nursing is crucial for the effectiveness of health services and the quality of patient care. Factors affecting this performance include work motivation, organizational culture, institutional support, and working conditions. The need for accurate tools to measure work performance in specific contexts, such as nursing in Peru, is imperative, especially given the increased demands and pressures brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Objective: this study aims to adapt and validate a Short Version of the Self-Assessment Work Performance Scale for Peruvian nursing staff, ensuring its relevance and psychometric accuracy in this specific context. Method: an instrumental design was used with convenience sampling, selecting 409 Peruvian nurses (M=20,22, SD=2,6). The scale, composed of 10 items, was adapted to Spanish and evaluated through confirmatory factor analysis. Reliability measures such as Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega were employed, along with invariance analysis to ensure the scale's consistency across sexes. Results: the factor structure confirmed the construct validity of the scale with a good fit in the unifactorial models (χ² = 139,820, df = 35, p < ,001, CFI = 0,94, TLI = 0,93, RMSEA = 0,07, SRMR = 0,03). Reliability was high, with Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega of 0,92 for the general model. The scale demonstrated full measurement invariance across sexes, reinforcing its applicability in gender-divided populations. Conclusions: the scale is a valid and reliable tool for assessing work performance in nursing staff in Peru. Its ability to adequately reflect the specific conditions and challenges of this professional group ensures its utility in the continuous improvement of health service quality and effective management of nursing staff in diverse and demanding contexts
