Background: Previous studies have indicated that university students constitute a higher risk population for mental health problems, especially for depression. Yet, there appears to be a lack of literature addressing a such issues in France. The present study aimed to estimate the prevalence rates of depression, its sociodemographic correlates in French university students (FUS), and to examine whether individual resilience resources moderated and mediated the relationship between perceived stress and depressive symptoms. Methods: The data were collected through web-based questionnaires. The sample included 1435 FUS with a mean age of 20.5 (SD = 3.38) years. Participants completed the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), the Perceived Stress Scale, the Brief Resilience Scale, and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Descriptive, multiple logistic regression and mediation analyses were used. Results: With respect to the BDI-II’s cutoff scores, 20.3% and 22.8% were positive to moderate and severe depression, respectively (43.1%). Gender and education attainment appeared as moderate risk factors when accounting for cumulative effect of perceived stress and individual resilience. Resilience was found to buffer and mediate partially the perceived stress–depression relationship. Conclusion: The prevalence of depression was higher in FUS, as similar to those reported in previous studies. The amount of academic and daily stress explained this prevalence. University students with low resilience level were more at risk. Interventions with aim to improving resilience skills could help to mitigate the negative effects of stress and to promote mental health in this population.

This study assessed university students’ knowledge and precaution practices of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) in South Korea, China, and Japan, and investigated their depressive states during the pandemic. This cross-sectional survey collected data from 821 respondents, using an anonymous online questionnaire designed by the Yonsei Global Health Center, from 23 March to 20 April 2020, which included socio-demographic questions, knowledge and perceptions of COVID-19, preventative practices, and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scale to assess mental health. High proportions of respondents showed good knowledge of the transmission pathways and information related to COVID-19. Contact history as well as concerns about family members and the disease showed statistically significant distinctions by nationality and gender. On the whole, all participants reported good levels of preventative practices. The Chinese group reported the highest preventative practice scores; and females scored higher than males. Moreover, the Japanese group showed the most severe depressive states; overall, females experienced more severe depression than males. Thus, authorities should especially emphasize the importance of COVID-19 precautions to males. Educational departments and health authorities should observe the mental health of university adults during the pandemic and plan interventions to improve it.

Resumen Se sigue mezclando salud mental y enfermedad mental. De la misma manera que todos tenemos a lo largo de nues- tra vida ciertos problemas físicos, que no enfermedades físicas (aunque también), también tenemos ciertos proble- mas psicológicos o mentales sin que por eso sean enfermedades mentales. Uno de los pilares fundamentales de una buena salud mental es la autoestima. Como punto de partida, la visión que nos da sor Callista Roy de la imagen que uno tiene de sí mismo. También se recorrerán las bases de la autoestima, de su cuidado y las consecuencias de tener una autoestima adecuada o baja. Abstract The mixture of mental health and mental disorders persists. Just as, along our lives, we all have certain physical prob- lems (not necessarily physical illnesses), we also have certain mental or psychological problems, different from men- tal disorders. One of the main pillars of good mental health is the Self-esteem. As a starting point, Sister Callista Roy's description of the own image of the self. Other aspects discussed will be the self-esteem basics, its care and the con- sequences of having an appropriate or a low self-esteem. Keywords: mental health, self concept, self esteem.

La presencia de la actividad física-deportiva en la vida social, ha llevado a las Ciencias Sociales a estudiar este fenómeno desde lo social, lo económico y lo cultural; aportando así a las disciplinas de las áreas biológica y de la salud. El objetivo de esta investigación fue traducir al español, adaptar y validar en el escenario mexicano el cuestionario de autoeficacia para regular el ejercicio de Bandura en estudiantes universitarios. La muestra del estudio fue de 241 estudiantes de Psicología (60.2%) y de Trabajo Social (39.8%) de una universidad pública en el noroeste de México, elegidos a través de un muestreo no probabilístico, de los cuales 88% fueron mujeres. El 30.3% de la muestra cursaba el segundo semestre, 24.1% tercer semestre, 15.4% cuarto semestre, 17.4% quinto semestre, 1.7% sexto semestre y 11.2% séptimo semestre, al momento de la aplicación. En los resultados el análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC) reveló adecuados valores de bondad de ajuste teórica y práctica. El factor de autoeficacia para regular el ejercicio quedó conformado por siete variables manifiestas. El análisis de consistencia interna posterior al AFC arrojó un alfa de .84. Se puede concluir que la versión en español del cuestionario de autoeficacia para regular el ejercicio adaptada al contexto mexicano con estudiantes universitarios, es un instrumento fiable y válido que puede aplicarse a muestras similares. Abstract. The presence of physical-sports activity in social life has led social sciences to studying this phenomenon from a social, economic, and cultural point of view, contributing to the disciplines of biological and health areas. The purpose of this research was to translate, adapt, and validate the questionnaire for self-efficacy to regulate the practice of Bandura in university students from a Mexican context. The participants were 241 students (88% women) enrolled in the psychology (60.2%) and social work programs (39.8%) from a public university in northwestern Mexico. Participants were chosen through non-probabilistic sampling. They were divided among the following semesters: 30.3% in second semester, 24.1% in third semester, 15.4% in fourth semester, 17.4% fifth semester, 1.7% sixth semester, and 11.4% in seventh semester at the time of the application. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) revealed values of goodness of theoretical and practical adjustment. The self-efficacy factor to regulate exercise was composed by seven manifest variables. The internal consistency analysis after the CFA yielded an alpha of .84. It can be concluded that the Spanish version of the questionnaire of self-efficacy to regulate exercise adapted to a Mexican context with university students, is a reliable and valid instrument that can be applied to similar participants or contexts.

The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the depression of university students and to investigate statistically predictive factors of depression types. In Greece, the University is the beginning of a new life for all young people who enter adulthood from adolescence and when it is one of life's greatest goals, it often produces symptoms of stress and depression. Students have difficulty organizing and managing their work, setting goals and identifying priorities, working in groups, stressing public speaking, and experiencing emotional disturbances. So, we administered the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scale to 101 students at the University of Patras in Greece. The BDI measures the cognitive, behavioural, and physical manifestations of one's depression (and severity of depression) over the last week and includes 21 questions, ranging from 0-3, and depending on the overall score, 1) the depression is interpreted as normal 2) as a mild mood disorder, 3) as marginal clinical depression, 4) as moderate depression, 5) as severe depression and 6) as extreme depression. In this study, we separated our dataset into the above six depression categories and applied linear regression to predict the category Depression from the rest of the questionnaire variables. According to the results, we achieved a total prediction of 98% of the dataset that calculates the Regression equation.
