Abstract
La presente investigación tuvo como propósito estudiar las posibles relaciones entre
conductas de salud y salud en un grupo de jóvenes universitarios de una universidad privada de
Lima Metropolitana. Los participantes de la muestra fueron 190 alumnos, hombres y mujeres
entre los 18 y 30 años de distintas facultades y semestres de estudio. Un objetivo secundario fue
describir las variables de estudio en los participantes, y analizarlas según factores
sociodemográficos. Para medir la salud de los participantes se utilizó el cuestionario de salud SF-
36 (Ware & Sherbourne, 1992). Para medir las conductas de salud, se utilizó el CHS (Cassaretto,
Vilela, Saravia & Chau, en prensa), una selección de ítems de la primera parte del CEVJU
(Arrivillaga, Salazar & Gómez, 2002). En cuanto al propósito de la investigación, se encontró
que todas las conductas de salud, a excepción del manejo de consumo de sustancias, se
correlacionan con por lo menos una dimensión de salud. Organización del sueño es la conducta
con mayor número de correlaciones con salud (varias de tamaño mediano) seguida de las prácticas
de recreación y ocio. La correlación de mayor tamaño es entre organización del sueño y vitalidad.
Actividad física también se correlaciona con vitalidad de manera mediana y muy significativa. Se
discuten posibles explicaciones de los resultados encontrados, se comenta su relevancia,
limitaciones que ha tenido la investigación, y proponen algunas recomendaciones para estudios
similares en el futuro.
The purpose of this research was to study the possible relationships between health behaviours and health in a group of university students from a private university in Lima Metropolitana. The participants were 190 students of both sexes between 18 and 30 years old and of various faculties and semesters of study. A secondary objective of the investigation was to describe the study variables in the group of participants, and to analyze them according to different socio-demographic variables. The SF-36 Health Survey (Ware & Sherbourne, 1992) was used to measure the participants’ health. The CHS (Cassaretto, Vilela, Saravia & Chau, in press), a selection of items from the first part of the CEVJU, instrument developed by Arrivillaga, Salazar & Gómez (2002) in Colombia, was used to measure health behaviors. Regarding the purpose of the study, it was found that every health behavior, except for substance consumption control, correlates significantly with at least 1 dimension of health. Sleep organization presents the most amount of correlations with health (several medium sized), followed by recreation. The largest correlation found was between sleep organization and vitality. Physical activity also correlates with vitality on a medium size and very significantly. Possible explanations of the results found are discussed, as well as their relevance, limitations of the investigation are reported and recommendations for future studies are given.
