Item CALIDAD DE SUEÑO E IMPULSIVIDAD EN ESTUDIANTES UNIVERSITARIOS(2025-03-06) Narvaez Peralta, Neisser Joel; Velasteguí Hernández, Diana Catalina; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Psicología ClínicaThis study explores the relationship between sleep quality, understood as a construct that encompasses both quantitative (duration and continuity of sleep) and qualitative (perception of rest and well-being) aspects, and impulsivity, defined as the tendency to act without prior reflection, which can lead to negative consequences in decision making and emotional control. The findings revealed that a large majority of participants (78.5%) experience poor sleep quality, associated with factors such as academic stress, irregular rest habits and high workloads. While in the impulsivity variable, 21.5% of the students showed significant differences were observed, with similar scores between men and women. For this research, the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index ( PSQI) and the Barratt Impulsivity Scale (BIS-11) were used, assessing different dimensions of sleep and types of impulsivity, such as motor and unplanned. The results suggest that, although poor sleep quality is common in this population, its direct relationship with impulsivity could depend on individual and contextual factors, beyond gender.Item CALIDAD DE SUEÑO Y RESILEINCIA EN CHOFERES PROFESIONALES(2025-03-05) Lozada Torres, Joselyn Dayana; Mena Freire, Marco Antonio; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Psicología ClínicaThis study investigates the relationship between sleep quality and resilience in professional drivers. Sleep quality refers to the satisfaction and effectiveness of nighttime rest, which influences daily performance. Resilience, on the other hand, is the ability to adapt to adverse situations. The study sample consisted of 106 drivers, aged between 25 and 70 years. This work had a quantitative-nonexperimental approach, with a cross-sectional design and correlational scope. For the evaluation, the Pittsburg questionnaire to measure sleep quality and the Wagnild and Young resilience scale were used. Data were analyzed using Spearman's correlation test using the statistical program Jamovi 2.3.28. The results revealed a low negative correlation, indicating that an increase in sleep quality might be associated with lower levels of resilience. 59.4% of the participants reported good sleep quality, while 29.2% showed very low levels of resilience. Importantly, no significant differences in resilience levels were found according to gender. These findings underscore the importance of promoting adequate sleep quality to improve mental health and work performance.Item CALIDAD DE SUEÑO Y ESTADO DE ÁNIMO EN ESTUDIANTES UNIVERSITARIOS(2025-03-05) Armas Valarezo Danea Anabel; Saltos Salazar Lenin FabiánSleep quality refers to a subjective feeling of restfulness, which is necessary for a person to function optimally, while mood is an affective and emotional phenomenon that is composed of both positive and negative emotions that can last for hours or days. The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between sleep quality and mood in university students. The sample included 278 students, aged between 18 and 35 years, from the Faculty of Civil and Mechanical Engineering of a university in Ambato. The research adopted a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, and correlational approach. To measure the variables, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), adapted by Royuela and Fernández in 1997 in Spain, and the Mood Rating Scale (EVEA) were used to evaluate the emotional state of the participants, which was adapted to Spanish by Pereira and Fernández in 2005. The results showed a moderate positive correlation between sleep quality and sadness-depression, anxiety and anger-hostility; and a low negative correlation with happiness. In the sample, poor sleep quality predominated with 65.5%, while in the mood subscales, happiness stood out. In addition, no significant differences were found in sleep quality according to sex.Item CALIDAD DE SUEÑO Y CONDUCTAS AGRESIVAS EN CHOFERES PROFESIONALES(2025-03-05) Araujo Sánchez, Lady Marjorie; Vasquez de la Bandera Cabezas, Fabricio Alejandro; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Psicología ClínicaSleep quality is defined as the satisfaction experienced in relation to the duration and depth of sleep achieved during the night.

The results showed that there was a low positive correlation between the variables, with good sleep quality (55.4%) and low and very low levels of aggressive behaviors (46.3% and 44.6%, respectively).

Mg, Agueda del RocíoPolice officers experience remarkable demands in their work environment, which directly impact sleep quality. Poor sleep quality is commonly associated with fatigue and decreased work skills, thus negatively affecting their job performance. The objective to determine the relationship between sleep quality and dimensions of burnout syndrome in a sample of 237 police officers. The research had a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional design. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Maslach Burnout Inventory - General Survey version (MBI-GS) were applied. Sleep quality has a moderate positive relationship with emotional exhaustion (Rho=0.531, p<0.01), slight positive relationship with cynicism (Rho=0.334, p<0.01) and slight negative relationship with professional efficacy (Rho=0.276, p<0.01). Regarding sleep quality, 71.3% presented poor sleep quality, where no statistically significant difference was found between police officers at the managerial level and those at the technical-operational level. Regarding the dimensions of burnout syndrome, a low level of emotional exhaustion (51.9%), a moderate level of cynicism (50.6%) and a high level of professional efficacy (51.9%) were identified. Good quality sleep leads to reduced levels of emotional exhaustion and cynicism, while increasing professional effectiveness.Item Calidad de sueño y bienestar psicológico en estudiantes universitarios(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Psicología Clínica, 2024-03-01) Mery Ordoñez, Bryan Josué; Gavilanes Gomez, Daniel Guillermo Psc.
