Abstract

The present research refers to a quantitative study, supported by a survey that had questions based on other research and of its own creation, which was applied to the students of the Salesian Polytechnic University in the year 2021. This study arises as an opportunity to explore the entire path that covid-19 has had and the psychological effects generated in university students, after living a surprising and lasting confinement. The research is proposed as an opportunity, since around the world and especially within the Ecuadorian context there is a shortage of studies where the topic to be addressed can be identified. Thus, after an arduous bibliographic search, the three dimensions from which we worked were established, such as the emotional, cognitive and behavioral dimensions. All the data collected throughout the research were used to obtain the expected results, and thus respond to the hypotheses and the research question, in addition to meeting the objectives that were initially set. The general results of the present study showed an affectation in the mental health of the participants, being related the three dimensions of study and that in this case it is verified that if one part changes the others will also change. Thus, it is necessary to mention that the data presented below reflect useful information that can serve as a basis for future research.
