Abstract
[Resumen] Los elevados niveles de estrés académico y la prevalencia de
sintomatología depresiva entre
los estudiantes universitarios de Ciencias de la Salud representan cuestiones de especial
preocupación para la universidad y los sistemas sanitarios. El objetivo del presente trabajo es
analizar la relación entre la presencia
de sintomatología depresiva y el empleo de estrategias
activas de afrontamiento frente al estrés académico. Así, se diseñó un estudio en el que
participaron 485 estudiantes de Fisioterapia de distintas universidades españolas. Se empleó la
subescala de de

que los estudiantes que recurren en mayor medida a estrategias de afrontamiento activo
muestran un menor índice de sintomatológica depresiva. De especial relevancia se mue

papel de las estrategias cognitivas basadas en la reevaluación positiva. Estos hallazgos
enfatizan la importancia de potenciar las estrategias de afrontamiento activo de los estudiantes

[Abstract] Depressive symptomatology and active coping strategies in Physiotherapy students . High levels of stress and depression among students in health sciences are of substantial university and health systems interest. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship b etween the depressive symptomatology and the use of active coping strategies to deal with academic stress. For this, a study involving 485 physiotherapy students of several Spanish universities was designed. Using the depression subescale of the Symptom Ch eck List - 90 - Revised and the coping scale of Academic Stress Questionnaire (CEA), depressive symtoms and active coping strategies (positive reappraisal, search for social support and strategic resource planning) were measured. The results suggest that stude nts with higher levels of active coping strategies showed lesser depressive syntomatology rates. Cognitive strategies based on positive reappraisal seem to play a particularly important role in the prevention of depressive symptoms. These findings emphasiz e the relevance of enhancing active coping strategies to promote effective management of academic stress, and thus reducing depressive symptoms in university students of physiotherapy.
