Resumen
La presente investigación busca analizar las prácticas en salud mental de las y los estudiantes
migrantes becarios en una universidad privada de Lima. El estudio adopta un enfoque cualitativo,
con un marco epistemológico socioconstruccionista y un diseño fenomenológico. La muestra
estuvo conformada por 10 mujeres y 5 varones estudiantes universitarios, provenientes de distintas
regiones de la costa y sierra del Perú, que actualmente cursan entre el tercer y el décimo ciclo de
sus carreras y han accedido a una beca en años previos. Para la recolección de información, se
realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas en modalidad virtual y presencial. Los hallazgos
evidencian que las prácticas de salud mental van más allá del uso de servicios psicológicos
formales, incluyendo acciones de autocuidado, apoyo entre pares y resignificación de la
experiencia migratoria. Frente a desafíos como la soledad, el desarraigo, las exigencias académicas
y la adaptación a un nuevo entorno, los y las estudiantes movilizan recursos personales y colectivos
que reflejan agencia, resiliencia y vínculos significativos. La institución educativa, por su parte,
brinda espacios de apoyo emocional; sin embargo, existen barreras estructurales y económicas que
limitan su acceso sostenido. Se concluye que es fundamental fortalecer los enfoques comunitarios
en las políticas universitarias de salud mental, reconociendo la diversidad de trayectorias
estudiantiles y promoviendo espacios accesibles, culturalmente pertinentes y sostenibles.
Asimismo, se evidencia la necesidad de impulsar modelos de acompañamiento que valoren no solo
las dificultades, sino también las capacidades de agencia, colaboración y participación activa de
los y las estudiantes migrantes.
This research aims to analyze the mental health practices of migrant scholarship students at a private university in Lima. The study adopts a qualitative approach, with a socioconstructionist epistemological framework and a phenomenological design. The sample consisted of 10 women and 5 men university students from different regions of the Peruvian coast and highlands, currently enrolled between the third and tenth semester of their degree programs and who have received scholarships in previous years. For data collection, semi-structured interviews were conducted both virtually and in-person. The findings show that mental health practices extend beyond the use of formal psychological services, including self-care actions, peer support, and reframing of the migration experience. Faced with challenges such as loneliness, uprooting, academic demands, and adaptation to a new environment, students mobilize personal and collective resources that reflect agency, resilience, and meaningful relationships. While the educational institution provides emotional support spaces, structural and economic barriers limit sustained access to these resources. The study concludes that it is essential to strengthen community approaches in university mental health policies, recognizing the diversity of student trajectories and promoting accessible, culturally relevant, and sustainable spaces. Additionally, there is an evident need to promote support models that value not only the difficulties but also the capacities for agency, collaboration, and active participation of migrant students.
