Policing duties demand a significant level of effort, as those engaged in this profession find themselves immersed in high-risk operations and witness events with a substantial impact on their emotional well-being. Moreover, they frequently encounter unfavorable criticism from the public. These circumstances can lead to an overwhelming emotional burden, potentially interfering with the daily work tasks of Police Officers (PO). The aim of this study was to identify levels of occupational stress and their correlation with personality traits among PO, seeking a deeper understanding of how these traits may influence stress levels. The research employed a quantitative approach with a non-experimental, correlational, cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of n=203 PO from the North District of Police Subzone Azuay No.1. A sociodemographic questionnaire, the Occupational Stress Scale from the ILO-WHO, and the Personality Inventory for ICD-11 PiCD were administered. The results revealed that 23.6% of Police Officers exhibited stress levels ranging from moderate to higher. Statistically significant correlations were found between stress and personality traits labeled as negative affectivity, disinhibition, detachment, and dissociality. Additionally, age and years of service were observed to be related to stress levels, while no significant differences were found based on gender.

Nursing professionals (NPs) play a crucial role in the healthcare system by directly providing patient care, which is essential for ensuring the quality of care and the effective functioning of healthcare services. However, their work involves emotional demands and challenges that can affect their psychological well-being (PW). To address this issue, an intervention program based on third wave cognitive-behavioral therapies was implemented. This program focused on Dialectical Behavioral Skills Training (DBT), which aims to develop skills for distress tolerance, mindfulness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. The objective of this research was to assess whether implementing a DBT program could enhance the PW levels of NPs in health centers within the Northern Cuenca District of the Ministry of Public Health (MSP). The study used a quantitative approach with an experimental pretest-posttest design involving a control group. The instruments used included a sociodemographic questionnaire and Ryff's Psychological Well-being Scale. It was determined that the third wave cognitive-behavioral intervention program significantly improved the PW of NPs, providing an effective strategy for addressing the emotional challenges they face in their work.

Personality traits are enduring characteristics that influence how an individual thinks, feels, and reacts, determined by a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors. Sleep quality refers to the level of rest achieved and its restorative capacity, and it is not limited to the number of hours slept. Academic performance represents a student’s achievement in relation to the learning objectives established in the curriculum. In this context, the present research aimed to determine the relationship between personality traits, sleep quality, and academic performance in Psychology students. The study employed a quantitative approach with a non-experimental, cross-sectional, and correlational design. A sample of 252 students was analyzed. The instruments used were the Personality Inventory for ICD-11 (PiCD), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The results showed a positive relationship between the personality traits of negative affect, disinhibition, detachment, and dissociality with sleep quality. Regarding academic performance, the traits of disinhibition and detachment were negatively correlated, while the trait of anankastia showed a positive correlation. Finally, no correlation was found between sleep quality and academic performance. Therefore, it is concluded that personality traits influence both sleep quality and academic performance, whereas sleep quality does not relate to academic performance.

Life satisfaction and self-esteem are closely related psychological constructs, as positive self- esteem significantly contributes to subjective well-being. However, the amount of time spent on social media may influence both variables by fostering social comparisons and creating pressure to conform to idealized standards. Therefore, the main objective of this research was to determine the relationship between life satisfaction, self-esteem, and time spent on social media among students of the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Cuenca during the 2024–2025 academic period. The study adopted a quantitative, correlational, and cross- sectional design. A sociodemographic questionnaire was used to record social media use, along with the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Data collection was carried out through online forms, and statistical analysis was conducted using JASP software. The results showed a strong positive correlation between life satisfaction and self-esteem, a weak negative correlation between life satisfaction and time spent on social media, and no significant relationship between self-esteem and social media use. These findings provide evidence of the importance of strengthening self-esteem to promote subjective well-being, while also encouraging reflection on the impact of digital engagement in university contexts.
