Item type:Publicación, Adaptation and Validation of a Spanish Writing Self-Efficacy Scale in Quechua-Speaking Peruvian Basic Education Students(2025-10-18); Róbert-János IlyésBackground: 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.Citas (OpenAlex): 0 - Algunas métricas están bloqueadas por suconfiguración de consentimiento
Item type:Publicación, Validation of a Job Satisfaction Scale among Health Workers(2024-03-10); ; Liset Z. Sairitupa-SanchezBackground: 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 contextCitas (OpenAlex): 1 - Algunas métricas están bloqueadas por suconfiguración de consentimiento

Item type:Publicación, Telehealth-based interventions on lifestyle, body mass index, and glucose concentration in university staff during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic: A pre-experimental study(2022-01-01); Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has impacted the health of the population. Technological advances become alternative tools for the promotion of lifestyle and prevention of non-communicable diseases in university personnel. Objective: This study analyzed the effect of an intervention based on a telehealth program and investigated its efficacy in improving lifestyle, body mass index, and glucose concentration in university staff during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Methods: A pre-experimental study was conducted between August and December 2021 on 100 workers of a private university located in Tarapoto, Peru. Information was collected on lifestyle practices and beliefs, body mass index, and glucose contraction before and after the intervention. After the intervention, 78 participants were analyzed; 22 workers did not respond to the invitation. Results: Comparison between pretest and follow-up showed an increase in lifestyle practices and beliefs (from 93.33 ± 9.44 to 96.23 ± 9.32, p < 0.01), although this value is considered an unhealthy lifestyle. Moreover, a decrease in body mass index (from 25.23 ± 3.08 to 24.98 ± 2.98, p < 0.05) and glucose concentration (from 98.35 ± 6.70 to 97.45 ± 5.61, p < 0.01) was observed. Conclusion: Telehealth-based educational interventions could be effective in university staff during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, which, in turn, would support improved lifestyles and adequate body mass index and glucose levels.Citas (OpenAlex): 14 - Algunas métricas están bloqueadas por suconfiguración de consentimiento

Design: A literature review based on a narrative synthesis. Data Sources: The study was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science (WOS), Scielo, and Google Scholar. Study Selection: Documents were selected and analyzed through an exhaustive literature review, applying specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: For the results analysis, 15 articles were selected, including 3 observational studies, 4 clinical trials, 7 statistical analyses, 2 systematic reviews, and 1 narrative review. The research population consisted of both healthy pregnant women and those with pre-existing conditions. Some studies were conducted in Europe, the United States, Australia, China, and South America. Conclusion: Changes in microbiota during pregnancy influence body mass index (BMI) and are associated with hypertensive disorders, gestational diabetes, the use of prebiotic supplements, and periodontitis. Moreover, microbiota is naturally linked to vaginal function changes, contributes to the infant’s immune system development, and provides beneficial bacteria through breast milk.Citas (OpenAlex): 0metric-badges.view 1 - Algunas métricas están bloqueadas por suconfiguración de consentimiento
Item type:Publicación, Work-Related Factors Associated With Burnout Among Peruvian Nurses(2022-01-01); Jacksaint SaintilaINTRODUCTION: Commonly, burnout in nurses has influenced their performance. The contribution of this study allows to broaden the knowledge of the performance-burnout relationship and identifies the work performance in nurses as a precursor of burnout. OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to examine the factors of work performance of nursing staff that influence burnout. METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used and a total of 340 nurses from the department of Puno in Peru participated. Demographic, job performance, and burnout data were collected. RESULTS: Job performance factors, such as counterproductive behavior, positively influenced burnout, while task and context performance negatively influenced burnout. These variables explained 28.54% of the variance of burnout among nurses. CONCLUSION: Job performance factors have a significant impact on burnout. To reduce burnout, workforce resources that motivate, engage, and monitor nurse performance must be identified individually or organizationally. There is a need to develop training that promotes the improvement of emotional skills for better performance and the reduction of professional burnout.Citas (OpenAlex): 12 - Algunas métricas están bloqueadas por suconfiguración de consentimiento
Item type:Publicación, Translation and validation of the high-school satisfaction scale (H-SatP Scale) in Peruvian students(2022-09-29); ; ; 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 &gt; 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.Citas (OpenAlex): 3 - Algunas métricas están bloqueadas por suconfiguración de consentimiento

Item type:Publicación, Adaptation and validation of the emotional self-efficacy scale in Peruvian University Students(2025-12-09); ; Ronald Castillo-BlancoBACKGROUND: Developing emotional self-efficacy is essential for university students to achieve psychological well-being and adequate academic performance. However, in Peru, there is a lack of valid and reliable tools to assess this construct. OBJECTIVE: To translate, adapt, and validate the Emotional Self-Efficacy Scale for Peruvian university students. METHODS: A cross-sectional instrumental study was conducted. The sample consisted of 947 university students of both sexes (56.6 % male), all over 18 years of age, from the three main regions of Peru (highlands, coast, and jungle). Participants were recruited from private (73.9 %) and public (26.1 %) universities, and represented faculties such as engineering (43 %), health sciences (18.8 %), business (14.5 %), social sciences (8.9 %), and humanities (5.9 %). The instrument under validation was the Emotional Self-Efficacy Scale (ESE), composed of seven items distributed in a single factor. To assess validity and reliability, several procedures were implemented: back-translation, content validity using Aiken's V coefficient, construct validity through factor analysis techniques, and internal consistency using the omega coefficient (ω). RESULTS: (9) = 54.5, p < .001, CFI = 0.995, RMSEA = 0.073, SRMR = 0.019). Factor loadings ranged from 0.74 to 0.81, and internal consistency was high (ω = 0.95). Gender invariance analysis confirmed configurational, threshold, and metric equivalence. CONCLUSIONS: The adapted EAE-Uni is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing emotional self-efficacy in Peruvian university students. Its application can contribute to developing strategies that promote psychological well-being and academic success while addressing the country's cultural and educational needs.Citas (OpenAlex): 0metric-badges.view 1
