Resumen

Muchos problemas de salud mental comienzan o se agravan al ingresar a la universidad. El objetivo fue identificar factores relacionados con el estrés, la ansiedad y la depresión en estudiantes universitarios a partir de estudios longitudinales. Se realizó una revisión de las bases de datos: MedlineWeb of ScienceSCOPUS y PsycInfo. También se realizó una búsqueda adicional en los primeros cien resultados de Google Scholar y en las referencias de los artículos elegibles. Se identificaron dos grupos de factores: 1) ambientales/sociales: experiencias adversas en la infancia, fragilidad de las relaciones sociales y tiempo de exposición a los medios electrónicos; 2) personal: creencias sobre uno mismo, incapacidad para modificar atributos propios, rasgos de personalidad y cogniciones disfuncionales combinadas con eventos estresantes. Se concluyó que el conocimiento de las causas es importante para identificar a los estudiantes en riesgo y planificar acciones que incentiven la búsqueda de ayuda y el desarrollo de habilidades para el manejo del estrés.
