Abstract
Objective: To determine the prevalence of
psychological distress and its relationship
with academic engagement (absorption,
dedication and vigor), sex and degree
among students from four public universities.
Method: A non-experimental, comparative
correlational, quantitative investigation
without intervention. Study population:
1840 nursing and physical therapy
students. The data collection tool used was
a questionnaire. Results: A 32.2% prevalence
of psychological distress was found
in the subjects; a correlation between vigor
and psychological distress was found
for all of the subjects and also for women.
High absorption and dedication scores and
low psychological distress scores predicted
higher vigor scores. Conclusion: The risk
of psychological distress is high, especially
for women. Women seem to have a higher
level of psychological distress than men. Vigor,
energy and mental resilience positively
influence psychological distress and can be
a vehicle for better results during the learning
and studying process.
