It was carried out under a quantitative, descriptive, ambispective and correlational approach. The sample was made up of 286 students enrolled in the period from March to September 2024. For the diagnosis of family functioning, the ff-sil questionnaire was used and academic performance was analyzed according to the evaluation scale of the evaluation regulations of the aforementioned institution. As a result, it was found that there is no association between academic performance and family functioning with p 0.504 > 0.05, however, students from complete nuclear families were the ones who predominated (56.6%), which represents a family structure considered a positive support network. The need for a new study on the factors that impact the academic performance of nursing students was demonstrated.Item ESTRATEGIAS DE APRENDIZAJE Y RENDIMIENTO ACADÉMICO EN LOS ESTUDIANTES DE ENFERMERÍA(2025-06-18) Campos Nuñez, Jessenia Lizbeth; Sara Verónica Guadalupe Nuñez; Universidad Técnica de Ambato / Facultad de Ciencias de Salud / Carrera de EnfermeríaThe relationship between learning strategies and academic performance in nursing students underscores the importance of developing motivational and cognitive skills to complete the educational process. Objective: To analyze how learning strategies influence the academic performance of nursing students. The research focuses on identifying the motivational, cognitive, and contextual skills that impact the learning process. Methods: A quantitative approach was employed, with a non-experimental, cross-sectional design using surveys as the main technique. The University Students’ Learning Strategies Assessment Questionnaire (CEVEAPEU), consisting of 49 dichotomic type questions, was administered to a sample of 110 students. The reliability of the instrument was high, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.91. Results: It was revealed that 89% of students feel capable of selecting relevant information for their studies, although 22% face challenges in using bibliographic resources. However, only 11% are able to recognize essential documents in online searches, indicating a problem in managing digital information overload. Conclusion: Although most students exhibit confidence in their learning ability, there is an urgent need to improve their skills in identifying reliable online sources. This suggests that training programs should be implemented to strengthen these competencies, fostering more autonomous and well-founded learning in an increasingly digital academic environment.Item REPERCUSIÓN DEL PERÍODO PRENATAL Y ROL MATERNO EN EL DESARROLLO ACADÉMICO UNIVERSITARIO: REVISIÓN BIBLIOGRÁFICA(2025-06-16) Guano Almache, Cristian Joel; Analuisa Jiménez, Eulalia Isabel; Universidad Técnica de Ambato / Facultad de Ciencias de Salud / Carrera de EnfermeríaIntroduction: The period the maternal role can have significant repercussions on the academic development of university students.

These findings support the close relationship between sleep disorders and academic performance, demonstrating that these health issues can significantly influence students' performance. The use of a validated questionnaire and data analysis through tabulation in Excel has allowed for the identification and quantification of the prevalence of sleep disorders in the study population. In conclusion, it is confirmed that sleep disorders, such as excessive daytime sleepiness and various types of insomnia, are closely related to the academic performance of Nursing students, emphasizing the importance of addressing these issues to promote better rest and optimal academic performance.Item Los rasgos de personalidad y su relación con la autoeficacia académica en estudiantes universitarios(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Psicología Clínica, 2023-03-01) Labre Ortiz, Jonathan Joel; Bonilla Basantes, Paulina JhojanaThis research sought to determine the correlation between personality traits and academic self-efficacy in university students, so the participation of students from a university in the city of Ambato was considered.
