Resumen
NAVARRO-ROLDAN, Claudia Patricia; AVENDANO SOTO, Helmer Andrés y MATEUS-GOMEZ, Sandra. An ecological model of dropout intention in university students during the covid-19 pandemic. Psicogente [online]. 2023, vol.26, n.49, pp.165-181. Epub 21-Mar-2023. ISSN 0124-0137. https://doi.org/10.17081/psico.26.49.5839.
Objective:
To analyse the drop out intention of university students after six months of home confinement during the covid-19 pandemic using an ecological model.
Method:
A non-experimental cross-sectional study with an intentional sampling of 1,011 active university students during 2020. Aged between 18 and 54 years (M = 22,6; SD = 4,8; female = 438). We evaluated them with the university dropout questionnaire for students, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale, Fear of covid-19 Scales, covid-19 Anxiety syndrome scale, and the Satisfaction with academic changes questionnaire. We performed a descriptive and multivariate analysis of the data.
Results:
The model explain 28 % of drop out intention among university students during confinement by covid-19 (sensitivity = 86,8 %). Dissatisfaction with academic changes is the main predictor of the model (OR = 0,960; IC 95 % [0,950, 0,959). Other significant predictors are positive and negative interactions (i.e., in family, social, and academic environments), negative emotional symptoms, anxiety about covid-19, being older, studying at a private university, and having a family member diagnosed with covid-19.
Discussions:
Macrosystem changes (i.e., home confinement and online classes) during the first six months of the covid-19 pandemic modified the students’ interaction with their proximal systems and new predictors of the intention to drop out emerged (e.g., anxiety about covid-19 and having a family member diagnosed with covid-19), associated with the context of confinement.
