Objective:to determine the relationship between the disposition to critical thinking and resilience in psychology students of a private university in North Lima. Materials and methods: non-experimental, cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 209 psychology students, over 18 years of age. The type of sampling is not intentionalprobabilistic. The main variables were the disposition to critical thinking and resilience, measured through the Scale of Disposition to Critical Thinking and the Resilience Scale of Wagnild and Young, respectively. The Stata 15.1 statistical package was used, analyzing normality using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and using the Chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis tests.Results: the sample presented an average age of 20.56 years. It was found that there is a significant relationship between the disposition to critical thinking and resilience (p=0.000) and between the latter and the search for truth (p=0.001), mental amplitude (p=0.008), the ability to analyze (p=0.001), systematicity (0.019), confidence in reason (p=0.000), curiosity (p=0.009) and maturity to makejudgments (p=0.000). Conclusions: the levels of disposition to critical thinking, search for truth, mental breadth, capacity for analysis, systematicity, confidence in reason, curiosity and maturity to make judgments, are associated with the levels of resilience. In addition, both constructs are shown as elements in reciprocal interaction, increasing the levels of one as the other increases and vice versa.

Objective:to determine the relationship between the quality oflife and the happiness perceived in female students of Lima Center. Materials and methods: the study corresponds to the cross-sectional correlational type. The sample consisted of 245 female students, from third to fifth grade of secondary school. The instruments that were used were the Olson & Barnes Quality of Life Scale, the Lima Happiness Scale and a sociodemographic data sheet. For the statistical analysis, the Stata 15 program was used. As for the descriptive analysis, frequencies, percentages, average and standard deviation were calculated. On the other hand, the Shapiro-Wilk, Chi-Square and ANOVA tests were used for the bivariate analysis. Results: a significant relationship between happiness and quality of life was evident. Likewise, a relationshipwas found between happiness and the dimensions of quality of life: home and economic well-being (p=0.000), friends, neighborhood and community (p=0.000), family life and extended family (p=0.000), education and leisure (p=0.000), media (p=0.017), religion(p=0.001) and health (p=0.000). Conclusion: the quality of life is related to happiness. This indicates that in certain contexts adolescents perceive that their poor quality of life interferes with theirstate of happiness. However, due to the stage in which biological, psychological and cultural changes are found, their perception can vary significantly.

Objective:to determine the strength of association between depressive manifestations and nutritional status in institutionalized older adults in Lima and Callao. Materials and methods: an explanatory and cross-sectional study was conducted. The sample was made up of 128 individuals over 60 years, of which 50.8% were women and 49.2% men. Depressive manifestations were evaluated using the Yesavage Geriatric Depression Scale, reduced version (GDS) and nutritional status was determined through the Mini Nutrition Assessment. An inferential analysis was performed to establish the association and strength of association of the variables. Likewise, the data were analyzed using the Chi Square and the Logistic Regression model with the statistical program Stata version 13. Results: an association was found between both variables (p <0.001); and depressive manifestations were positively associated with the presence of risk of malnutrition OR 7.91 (95% CI 3.13-19.9). The results obtained are not extrapolated to the elderly population in communities; however, they are valid for institutionalized elderly populations. Conclusion: depressive manifestations and female sex are strongly associated with the risk of malnutrition in institutionalized older adults.

Objective:to determine the effectiveness of the PANTBC program in the nutritional status of patients with tuberculosis treatment at Microred Airport in the 2018–2019period. Materials and methods: longitudinal descriptive study, in which anthropometric and biochemical measurements were evaluated for all attendees of the PANTBC program. Data collection and survey techniques were used as techniques during the six months of treatment of the disease. Results: in the 30 patients who attended the program, there was improvement in the BMI from 18.12 to 23.13 kg / m2; and in the biochemical parameters, especially hemoglobin, which increased from 11.5to 13.8 g / dL in women and from 12.84 to 13.27 g / dL in men. Two months were recorded that the basket was not delivered throughout the Microred. Conclusion: anthropometric and biochemical parameters improved as a result of the treatment and contribution of the PANTBC basket, although its distribution shows irregularity.
