CABALLERO-DOMINGUEZ, Carmen; GALLO-BARRERA, Yeison e SUAREZ-COLORADO, Yuly. Some mental health variables associated with the propensity to the abandonment of the university studies. Psychol. av. discip. [online]. 2018, vol.12, n.2, pp.37-46. Epub 19-Dez-2020. ISSN 1900-2386. https://doi.org/10.21500/19002386.3466.
The objective of this study was to establish the association of some mental health variables (academic burnout, traitstate anxiety and depression) on the propensity to drop out of studies in university students. Study of observational, analytical, transversal type. The sample consisted of 252 students, distributed as follows: 23% (59) of the Nursing program, 39% (99) of the Medicine program and 37% (94) of the Psychology program, evaluated through the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey, Trait and State Anxiety, Beck Depression Inventory, and Abandonment Propensity Questionnaire. The results indicate that state anxiety (OR = 2.944 [1.712 - 5.065], p = 0.000) predicts the dropout propensity in university students. We conclude that state anxiety is a risk factor for the propensity to drop out, so it is recommended to strengthen personal resources from self-efficacy and the incorporation of the family since the beginning of university life.
