    Introduction To protect public health, it is important that the population be vaccinated against COVID-19; however, certain factors can affect vaccine acceptance. Objective The objective of this study was to determine whether religious fatalism and concern about new variants have a significant effect on the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines. Methodology An explanatory study was conducted with 403 adults of legal age captured through non-probabilistic convenience sampling in vaccination centers in the 13 health networks of the Regional Health Directorate of Puno, Peru. Data were collected through a brief scale of religious fatalism, a scale of acceptance of vaccines against COVID-19 and a scale of concern about a new variant of COVID-19. Results The proposed model obtained an adequate fit. There was a negative effect of religious fatalism on vaccine acceptance, a positive effect of fatalism on vaccine rejection, a positive effect of concern about new variants on the acceptance of vaccines, and a positive effect of concern about new variants on vaccine rejection. Conclusion These findings provide evidence for the usefulness of considering both religious fatalism and concern about new variants affect the intention to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in adults in southern Peru.

    Background The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the mental health and overall well-being of the working population, exacerbating financial problems that influence subjective well-being and life satisfaction. Financial stress and financial well-being have emerged as key predictors of these dimensions. Objective To determine whether financial well-being and financial stress are significant predictors of overall well-being and life satisfaction among Peruvian workers. Methods A cross-sectional predictive study was conducted with 1,208 Peruvian workers aged 18–64 years (M = 25.26, SD = 7.99), using standardized instruments such as the General Well-Being Index, Financial Stress Scale, Satisfaction with Life Scale, and Financial Well-Being Scale. Results The model demonstrated a good fit to the data (χ2 = 1399.76, p < 0.001, df = 269, CFI = 0.962, TLI = 0.958, RMSEA = 0.062, SRMR = 0.051). Financial well-being had a positive effect on overall well-being (β = 0.52, p < 0.001) and life satisfaction (β = 0.24, p < 0.001). Financial stress showed a negative effect on life satisfaction (β = −0.19, p < 0.001) but did not significantly affect overall well-being (β = −0.02, p > 0.001). Conclusion Financial well-being plays a critical role in subjective well-being and life satisfaction, while financial stress negatively impacts cognitive evaluations of life. Occupational health strategies should incorporate financial education programs and measures to mitigate financial stress, fostering economic resilience and holistic well-being among workers.

    Adaptation and validation of the financial stress scale in social conflict contexts: a study conducted with small and medium-sized Peruvian entrepreneurs
    Introduction Social conflicts have repercussions on the mental health of the economically active population. Objective To adapt and validate the Financial Stress Scale in the context of social conflicts (ESECPS). Method An instrumental study involving 2,242 owners of small and medium enterprises (50.9% women), aged between 18 and 74 years old, selected through a non-probabilistic purposive sampling. The participants were recruited across three regions of Peru during periods of protests and strikes against the incumbent Peruvian government. The instrument for adaptation was the financial stress scale EFEmp-Cov19, created in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact. Results All items proved to be clear, relevant, and representative (V > 0.70). Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) revealed the existence of one underlying factor across the 11 items (KMO = 0.962, Bartlett = 5434.3; df = 55; p < 0.001). However, for Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), items 4 and 11 were removed, resulting in support for a unidimensional model with 9 items ( χ 2 = 262.73, df = 23, p < 0.001; RMR = 0.022; TLI = 0.972; CFI = 0.980; and RMSEA = 0.072). Regarding reliability, a very high value was found ( ω = 0.92). Conclusion The ESECPS demonstrates adequate psychometric properties, making it a suitable measure to assess financial stress among Peruvian entrepreneurs facing economic instability and financial threats in the context of social conflicts.

    Introduction The phenomenon of extortion is generating serious repercussions on the mental health of the economically active population. In the absence of measurement instruments to quantify the magnitude of this problem, it becomes urgent to design a documentary measurement tool. Objective To design and validate a scale measuring concern about the possibility of becoming a victim of extortion. Method The study is classified as instrumental. Using purposive non-probability sampling, participation was obtained from 2.049 citizens of both sexes across the three regions of Peru. The instrument was designed in 10 stages, following expert recommendations on the subject. The first version consisted of 11 items with five-point Likert-type response options. Analyses were conducted to demonstrate content validity, construct validity, convergent validity, measurement invariance, and reliability. Results All items proved to be clear, relevant, and representative (V > 0.70). Exploratory factor analysis suggested an underlying structure composed of eight items (KMO = 0.91, Bartlett’s test = p ≤ 0.001), with factor loadings above the 0.40 cutoff (0.75 to 0.83). Subsequently, confirmatory factor analysis corroborated this unidimensional structure (SRMR = 0.037, RMSEA = 0.074, CFI = 0.996, TLI = 0.994). In addition, the BECS was shown to be invariant across sex and exhibited significant correlations with other comparable scales, thus providing evidence of convergent validity. Finally, the instrument demonstrated excellent reliability (>0.90). Conclusion The BECS shows psychometric evidence supporting its validity and reliability. Therefore, it becomes the first measure available to assess concern about the possibility of becoming a victim of extortion.
