Abstract
Los trastornos del estado del ánimo, como la depresión, representan una carga significativa para la salud mental y el bienestar psicológico de la población, afectando la calidad de vida y el funcionamiento diario de quienes los padecen. La evitación experiencial, definida como la tendencia a evitar o suprimir experiencias emocionales negativas, ha sido identificada como un factor crucial en la comprensión de la psicopatología y el funcionamiento psicológico. Esta investigación se centra en medir la correlación entre la evitación experiencial y la depresión en estudiantes del programa de psicología de la facultad de ciencias humanas y sociales de la Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios en la sede principal calle 80, Bogotá.
Para ello se aplicaron las pruebas AAQ-II y PHQ-9 que miden evitación experiencial y gravedad de sintomáticas depresivos, se administró a una población de cincuenta y tres voluntarios estudiantes de psicología.
Se encontró una correlación positiva de ρ=.94 con un valor p=.001. Concluimos que, si hay una marcada correlación entre la presencia de evitación experiencial con el aumento de síntomas depresivos; se recomienda replicar la misma evaluación con poblaciones más numerosas y que esto guie procesos de prevención primaria.
Mood disorders, such as depression, represent a significant burden on the mental health and psychological well-being of the population, affecting the quality of life and daily functioning of those who suffer from them. Experiential avoidance, defined as the tendency to avoid or suppress negative emotional experiences, has been identified as a crucial factor in understanding psychopathology and psychological functioning. This research focuses on measure the relationship between experiential avoidance and depression in students of the psychology program of the faculty of human and social sciences of the Corporación universitaria Minuto de Dios at the main campus on Calle 80, Bogotá. For this purpose, the AAQ-II and PHQ-9 tests were applied, which measure experiential avoidance and severity of depressive symptoms. They were administered to a population of fifty-three volunteers psychology students. A positive correlation of ρ=.94 with a p value=.001 was found. We conclude that, if there is a marked correlation between the presence of experiential avoidance with the increase in depressive symptoms; It is recommended to replicate the same evaluation with larger populations, and this guides primary prevention processes.
