Salud mental, búsqueda, estudiantes universitarios, bienestarResumen
Es preponderante gestionar la salud mental en estudiantes universitarios identificando retos y recomendaciones
para programas de ayuda. Objetivo: Determinar relación entre necesidad y búsqueda efectiva de ayuda. Método: La
muestra incluyó 2425 estudiantes universitarios de Manizales, Colombia. Se aplicó una encuesta auto-administrada en
línea para evaluar la relación entre necesidad y búsqueda de ayuda psicológica. Resultados: Los datos se analizaron con SPSS Versión
27 mediante estadísticos descriptivos y chi-cuadrado (p ≤ 0,05), siguiendo el macroproyecto Construyendo Futuro.
Resultados: Los estudiantes desconocen servicios de bienestar institucional, prefieren apoyo de círculo cercano y tienden a resolver dificultades solos. Conclusiones/Aporte: No todos los que necesitan ayuda la buscan ni aceptan; urge contextualizar razones de esta paradoja para diseñar estrategias preventivas eficaces. Hubo alta congruencia con literatura revisada; no asumir que necesidad implica búsqueda.
