Abstract
La ansiedad es uno de los trastornos mentales más prevalentes a nivel mundial, con un impacto significativo en el bienestar psicológico. Este estudio analizó la influencia de la ansiedad en el bienestar psicológico de estudiantes de Psicología del I al VI ciclo en una universidad privada de Chincha, Perú, en 2024. Bajo un enfoque cuantitativo y correlacional, se trabajó con una muestra representativa de 77 estudiantes seleccionados mediante cálculo para población finita al 95 % de confianza. Se utilizaron la Escala de Ansiedad de Hamilton, que evalúa ansiedad psíquica y física, y la Escala de Bienestar Psicológico de Ryff, que mide seis dimensiones clave. Los resultados mostraron una correlación negativa fuerte entre ambas variables (r = -0.7897 a -0.8969), confirmando con un 95 % de certeza estadística que la ansiedad afecta de manera adversa el bienestar psicológico estudiantil. Estos hallazgos subrayan la importancia de implementar estrategias preventivas en el contexto universitario.

Under a quantitative and correlational approach, we worked with a representative sample of 77 students selected by finite population calculation at 95 % confidence. The Hamilton Anxiety Scale, which assesses psychological and physical anxiety, and the Ryff Psychological Well-Being Scale, which measures six key dimensions, were used. The results showed a strong negative correlation between the two variables (r = -0.7897 to -0.8969), confirming with 95 % statistical certainty that anxiety adversely affects student psychological well-being. These findings underline the importance of implementing preventive strategies in the university context.
