Abstract
La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo estudiar la relación entre las conductas
de salud y el bienestar psicológico en un grupo de 123 estudiantes universitarios que cursaban
desde el tercer año en adelante. Se les aplicó el cuestionario de estilos de vida de jóvenes
universitarios (CEVJU-r), la escala de bienestar psicológico de Carol Ryff adaptada al
español por Díaz (2006) y una ficha sociodemográfica con datos personales y de salud.
Luego, se realizaron los análisis respectivos y se calcularon las correlaciones entre las
conductas de salud y el bienestar psicológico. Los resultados indicaron que existían múltiples
correlaciones entre las dimensiones de ambas variables a excepción de hábitos alimenticios.
En cuanto al análisis de las variables sociodemográficas y datos generales de salud se
observaron correlaciones significativas entre las conductas de salud y el consumo de alcohol
reportado, las horas de sueño y la frecuencia de actividad física declarada por los
participantes.
Por otro lado, se hicieron comparaciones de acuerdo al sexo y se encontró que los
hombres tenían mejores hábitos alimenticios y organización de sueño que las mujeres
mientras que ellas reportaron un mejor control en el consumo de alcohol, tabaco y otras
drogas. Y, en relación a las dolencias reportadas en el año, destacaron el dolor de cabeza y
espalda, tensión de cuello y espalda, estrés y depresión. Finalmente, se incorporó una
pregunta abierta acerca de qué actividades realizaban en su tiempo libre siendo la más
resaltante el uso de tecnología. Por último, se resalta la importancia de continuar investigando
en temas de salud universitaria para así potenciar los programas orientados a aumentar el
bienestar de los estudiantes en donde se incluya a la tecnología, la cual está influyendo no solo
en nuestro entorno sino también en nuestras conductas de salud y bienestar.

They filled the questionnaire about the lifestyles of young university students (CEVJU-r), the scale of psychological well-being of Carol Ryff adapted to spanish by Díaz (2006) and a sociodemographic questionnaire about themselves and personal details of their health. After that, the correlations about health behaviors and psychological well-being were analyzed. The results indicated that there were multiple correlations between the dimensions of both variables except for the eating habits area.

Finally, they were asked about what activities they did in their free time and the most prominent one was the use of technology. Last but not least, is necessary to remark the importance of continuing researching about university health issues in order to enhance programs aimed at increasing the welfare of students because a new dimension is now in our lives: technology, which is influencing not only our environment but also in our healthy behaviors and psychological wellbeing.
