E-TIP quality protocol
Introduction Teacher induction programs are essential for supporting novice educators, reducing attrition, and promoting sustainable professional development. Yet, available evaluation instruments often rely solely on quantitative indicators, overlooking contextual and pedagogical dimensions that are central to effective induction. This study addresses that gap by designing and content-validating a qualitative, rubric-based assessment tool, the E…
Sex differences in emotional exhaustion among higher-education students during the pre-vaccination Covid-19 period
Emotional exhaustion (EE), the core dimension of burnout, has emerged as a particularly detrimental outcome, yet limited research has examined its incidence and severity by sex or provided tools to interpret its symptomatological manifestations. This study pursued two objectives: (1) to determine the incidence and severity of emotional exhaustion in Chilean higher-education students during the pandemic, disaggregated by sex; and (2) to develop an…
Clarity and Emotional Regulation as Protective Factors for Adolescent Well-Being
Introduction: Adolescent well-being is influenced by emotional regulation and clarity, particularly in contexts of depression, stress, and anxiety. Objective: This study explores how depression mediates the relationship between emotional regulation and well-being and whether emotional clarity moderates this interaction, providing a comprehensive model to understand adolescent mental health. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted with …
Depression, anxiety, and stress in the Chilean Educational System
The mental health of children and adolescents in the Chilean Educational System (ChES) has become a severe post-pandemic public health problem. This cross-sectional study, which included 1,174 children and adolescents from five Chilean regions, used the DASS-21 scale, focusing on determining the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress, as well as identifying associated risk factors. The results exposed a high prevalence of depression, anxie…
Post-pandemic psychosocial variables affecting academic dropout in a sample of Chilean higher-education students
Introduction University dropouts are a problem in the Chilean higher education system, which causes psychosocial and economic damage and requires further studies to understand it comprehensively. This study aimed to determine the psychosocial variables influencing the risk of dropping out of the higher education system in a sample of Chilean university students post-pandemic. Methods With a sample of 655 students from the Chilean higher education…
Emotional Exhaustion Variables in Trainee Teachers during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Introduction: emotional exhaustion among trainee teachers is a relevant topic since it could have repercussions regarding the lives of their future pupils. Our objective was to determine the degree of trainee teachers’ emotional exhaustion and associated variables during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: the design was cross-sectional and descriptive. Questionnaires with sociodemographic variables, perceptions of mental health, and the Emotional Ex…
Prevalence and variables associated with depression, anxiety, and stress among Chilean higher education students, post-pandemic
Chilean university students presented a high prevalence of anxiety, depression, and stress, where being female and belonging to sexual minorities seem to be the variables that have the greatest impact on susceptibility to mental health problems. These results should call the attention of political and university authorities in Chile to improve this population's mental health and quality of life since they are the following professional generation…
Muscle Quality Index is inversely associated with psychosocial variables among Chilean adolescents
A good muscle quality index (MQI) may have an inverse relationship with psychosocial variables of depression, anxiety, and stress in adolescents. Unfortunately, little scientific evidence has related MQI to psychosocial variables in this population. Therefore, this research aimed to determine the relationship between the MQI and psychosocial variables of depression, anxiety, and stress in Chilean adolescents. In this quantitative correlational de…
Psychometric Properties of the Emotional Exhaustion Scale (ECE) in Chilean Higher Education Students
The main objective of this study was to estimate the psychometric properties of the Emotional Fatigue Scale (ECE) in a sample of 1308 Chilean university students and confirm the unifactorial structure of the scale. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were carried out. The ECE assessment had an internal consistency of 0.893 (Cronbach’s Alpha). An exploratory factor analysis with Varimax rotation and a confirmatory analysis were performed,…
Relationship between Attention Capacity and Hand–Eye Reaction Time in Adolescents between 15 and 18 Years of Age
Some experiences demonstrate a direct correlation between attention capacity and reaction capacity. However, the evidence from adolescents enrolled in the Chilean school system is scarce. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between attention capacity and hand-eye reaction time (RT) in adolescents between 15 and 18 years of age. Thirty-one adolescents participated voluntarily in this study. The variables were: attention cap…
Relationship between Asymmetries and Functional Autonomy in Older Chilean Adults
The objectives of this study were: (a) to determine asymmetries, both lower limb (LL) and upper limb (UL), in Chilean older adults, and (b) to relate asymmetries to FA in both LL and UL. Forty-one older adults voluntarily participated in this study (mean ± standard deviation [SD]: age 72.0 ± 8.0 years, LL asymmetries 13.78 ± 14.87%, UL asymmetries 10.70 ± 8.85%, FA 40.35 ± 16.26 points). The variables were: (1) asymmetries of LL and UL, assessed …
Sleep Quality in Chilean Professional Soccer Players
Recent research has shown that good sleep quality has a positive effect on physical performance. However, sleep quality in Chilean professional soccer players is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine sleep quality in Chilean professional soccer players. It was a cross-sectional, explanatory study with observable variables. The sample consisted of 94 Chilean male soccer players belonging to four professional clubs. The main variable …
