    Sexual satisfaction is essential for mental health, and knowing what factors predict it turns out to be essential for its proper enjoyment. Several factors that are linked during sexual intercourse are anxiety and insomnia; however, no research demonstrates how much they predict sexual satisfaction, and that is the objective of this research. For this, a sample of 453 adults between 18 and 45 years old (M= 26.13; SD= 4.69) was considered, of whom 39.7% were men, and 60.3% were women. Likewise, to measure anxiety, the Lima Anxiety Scale (EAL-20) was used, the Athens Insomnia Scale was used to measure sleeping problems, and the Sexual Satisfaction Scale was considered to measure sexual satisfaction. The results showed that high levels of anxiety and insomnia negatively predict the level of Sexual Satisfaction with large effect size (R2 = 0.542). Leaving a precedent that both sleeping difficulties, as well as worry and somatization caused by anxiety, alter the sexual enjoyment of adults.

    Academic Procrastination, Depressive Symptoms and Suicidal Ideation in University Students: A look during the Pandemic
    Objective: The aim is to determine the relationship between academic procrastination, depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation in students of the Faculty of Health Sciences. Method: It was a non-experimental and cross-sectional study of correlational scope. The non-probabilistic convenience sample, made up of 578 participants between 16 and 30 years old (69% female), completed the Academic Procrastination Scale, the Positive and Negative Suicidal Ideation Inventory (PANSI) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II). Frequencies and percentages were estimated at a descriptive level, the partial correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression were utilized to examine the associations between academic procrastination and suicidal ideation. Results: Subjects with a higher score of academic procrastination and BDI-II reported higher scores for suicidal ideation than those with a lower score (P < 0.01). A positive significant relationship was found between total academic procrastination and its subscales and suicidal ideation (P < 0.01). This correlation remained significant after controlling for depression (P < 0.05). Moreover, multiple linear regression revealed that academic procrastination, its subscales and depressive symptoms could explain about 20% of the total suicidal ideation in university students (R2 = 0.198). Conclusion: Increased levels of academic procrastination increase suicidal ideation in college students during the pandemic. These results suggest the need to create interventions for the prevention of this problem in the fields of educational and public health.

    The sharing of explicit sexual images through virtual platforms has grown exponentially in recent generations, causing various issues such as low self-esteem, sextortion, and cyberbullying, among others. Therefore, it is imperative to have a deeper understanding of this issue. This research aims to construct an instrument that allows for the identification of the motivations that lead to the practice of sexting in young university students. The research had two phases: conducting an Exploratory Factor Analysis, which included 320 university students (48.2% female and 51.8% male) aged between 18 and 30 (M = 20.4; SD = 2.62). In the second phase, 1056 university students (55.9% female and 44.1% male) within the same age range as the first phase participated (M = 22.38; SD = 2.64), for whom a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted. The final version of the scale consisted of a unidimensional model comprising eight items that assess internal and external motivations leading to the practice of sexting, with an adequate fit index (CFI = 0.991, TLI = 0.988, and RMSEA = 0.068). Additionally, an omega coefficient of 0.93 was found, indicating adequate reliability. It was concluded that the Sexting Motivation Scale (EMS by its initials in Spanish) demonstrates good reliability and construct validity, making it suitable for measuring motivation for sexting.

    Validation of measurement scale for technostress in Peruvian university students
    Stress has become one of the major health issues worldwide, and the mandatory integration of technologies into the educational environment has exacerbated this problem. This situation affects both teachers and students, who often lack the necessary knowledge to use these tools effectively, putting their mental health and emotional well-being at risk across various areas. Over the years, numerous studies have been conducted on technostress in both workplace and educational contexts, analyzing its causes and consequences, as well as psychometric evaluations of instruments related to technological adaptation. This study presents an instrumental design and cross-sectional approach, with 814 Peruvian university students voluntarily participating, consisting of both sexes (451 females; 55%) aged between 18 and 36 years ( M = 25.2, SD = 5.12). The instrument used was the Technostress Questionnaire for University Students (TS4US), initially developed for Chinese university students, which underwent a cultural adaptation process, expert judgment, and pilot testing. The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the TS4US versions revealed that the 11-item version maintained the three original dimensions, showing an excellent fit with indices of CFI = 0.982, TLI = 0.975, RMSEA = 0.007, and SRMR = 0.02, along with high internal consistency, with Alpha and Omega coefficients greater than 0.86. These results confirm that the TS4US is a valid and reliable tool for measuring technostress in Peruvian university students.
