One of the main strategies that healthy universities implement among their students is that of promoting healthy lifestyles. However, behind these healthy lifestyles, there may be some aspects related to family functioning that favour or limit its implementation. consequently, the objective of this study is to establish whether there is a relationship between lifestyles and family cohesion, family ethnic socialization and the affective behaviour of the father and the mother. A cross-sectional study was conducted with a representative sample of 159 female university students from an indigenous area of Oaxaca, Mexico. The Healthy Lifestyle Scale for University Students, the Self-Assessment Scale of Affective Behaviour (with regard to the father and the mother) and the family cohesion Scale were used. family ethnic socialization revealed a significant interrelationship with lifestyles in all ethnic groups. However, these scores were higher in the indigenous groups. Although the moderate hostility from the father did not show any relationship with lifestyles in either ethnic group, the scores for hostility from the father were higher in indigenous groups than in the mestizo group. A multivariate analysis confirmed better lifestyles when better family cohesion and greater warmth of the father were observed.
Introducción: La migración es un proceso que implica cambios para el migrante, estos se ven reflejados en las actividades y prácticas que se realizan en el lugar receptor, y muchas veces no son las mismas de la cultura de procedencia, sin embargo las va adquiriendo de forma paulatina y gradual, hasta ser partícipe de ellas, alterando su cohesión familiar y propiciando el proceso de aculturación. Dichos cambios pueden tener efectos en la salud del inmigrante. Objetivo: Identificar los efectos que tiene la migración en la salud del migrante y su papel mediador de la cohesión familiar y la aculturación. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática (metodología PRISMA) en la base de datos PubMed de artículos completos, utilizando como palabras clave: Migrante, aculturación, cohesión familiar. Resultados: La elevada cohesión familiar es un factor protector de la salud, porque fortalece la identidad y pertenencia cultural del inmigrante, mientras que la aculturación trae consigo ciertas conductas desfavorables para la salud, relacionadas con la necesidad de ser aceptado y de participar en las actividades y prácticas del lugar receptor. Conclusiones: El fortalecimiento de la cohesión familiar puede ser una estrategia para mejorar la condición de salud de las personas que migran.
El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Autorregulación de la Actividad Física (EAAF), así como de su versión breve, en estudiantes universitarios mexicanos. Participaron 472 estudiantes de universidades públicas mexicanas (mujeres = 57.1%; Medad = 21.447 años; DTedad = 3.405 años). Los resultados respaldan una estructura unidimensional de la EAAF y de su versión breve, así como una asociación positiva con la autorregulación de los hábitos alimentarios y el bienestar psicológico, y un grado aceptable de invarianza de medición según el sexo. Asimismo, la fiabilidad del constructo y de las puntuaciones alcanzó magnitudes elevadas. Se concluye que la EAAF y su versión breve presentan propiedades psicométricas adecuadas. Abstract. The purpose of this research was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Physical Activity Self-Regulation Scale (PASRS), as well as its short version, in Mexican College students. A sample of 472 Mexican college students from different public universities (female = 57.1%; Mage = 21.447 years; SDage= 3.405 years) was used. Results supported an unidimensional structure of the PASRS and for their short version. A positive association with the self-regulation of eating habits and psychological wellbeing was found, and an acceptable degree of measurement invariance regarding to sex. Likewise, the construct reliability and scores reliability reached high magnitudes. It is concluded that the PASRS and its short version have adequate psychometric properties.
