    Obesity has become a major public health concern worldwide, affecting millions of people and increasing the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders. This multifactorial phenomenon is influenced by several factors, with dietary patterns being a key component in its development. Among these patterns is emotional eating, which refers to the consumption of food in response to emotions, rather than the physiological need for food. This behavior is manifested when people use food as a coping mechanism to deal with negative emotions such as social pressure, stress, anxiety, sadness or loneliness. The literature review developed examines the available evidence on obesity and emotional eating in the general population. Through a comprehensive search of scientific databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, ProQuest and Google Scholar between 2020 and 2024 on obesity derived from emotional eating. The findings indicate that emotional eating is associated with excessive food consumption and the adoption of unhealthy habits, such as fast food consumption.

The study maintained a quantitative approach, with a non-experimental, cross-sectional design and correlational scope. Data were collected by applying the Duke-UNK-11 Functional Social Support Questionnaire and the Inventory of Academic Self-Efficacy Expectations (IEAA).

    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Psicología Clínica, 2024-09-06) Calderón López, Mishelle Estefanía; Ponce Delgado, Agueda del Rocío
    Family functioning refers to the quality of ties and cohesion among family members , including aspects such as communication, mutual support and conflict resolution. Perceiv e d stress, on the other hand, is a person's subjective assessment of how stressful the demands of their environment are and how well they are able to cope with them. The objective was to determine the relationship between family functioning and perceived stress in people with incomplete schooling in an Educational Unit of the Province of Tungurahua with a sample of 110 adults. The study had a quantitative approach with a non- experimental, descript i v ecorrelational, cross-sectional design. The family functioning questionnaire (FFSIL) and the perceived stress questionnaire (PSS-14) were used. A slight negative relationship was found (Rho= -0.330 p<0.001). In family functioning the moderately functional level predominated with 45.5%, on the other hand, in perceived stress the sometimes stressed level prevailed with 53.6%. It was found that there were no statistically significant differences according to gender. These findings confirm the research hypothesis, which proposed that adequa t e family functioning correlates with lower levels of perceived stress.

    The research delved into the study of burnout syndrome, a mental condition that manifests itself through emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and cynicism, resulting from chronic stress generated in the work environment. Within the study, the risks associated with alcohol consumption and the possible consequences of its intake were examined, especially in the behavioral field.

A sample of 128 public officials, both men and women, aged between 24 and 56 years, was used. The instruments used were the AUDIT Questionnaire and the adapted Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey (MBI-GS). Regarding alcohol consumption between men and women, there were statistically significant differences, with women being the ones with the highest risk of consumption. Finally, fulfilling the main objective of this research, it was found that there is compensation in two dimensions of burnout syndrome.

    Currently, stress is a factor that significantly affects academic performance and quality of life of university students. This manifests itself as both a physiological and psychological response to situations perceived as threatening. This thesis work presents an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional cohort study, focused on understanding the relationship between serum cortisol levels and the degree of perceived stress in 80 students from the Clinical Laboratory degree program. The applied methodology involved collecting blood samples from the students to measure cortisol levels using in vitro chemiluminescence immunoassay kits utilizi n g the MAGLUMI-800 series analyzer, as well as administering the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) survey to identify the degree of perceived stress. The results obtained indicated that 6.3% of the participants who presented high levels of perceived stress have high cortisol values, 3.1% have low levels and 90.6% have normal levels. Meanwhile, 100% of the participants who presented low levels of perceived stress also have normal cortisol values. Finally, 2.5% of the participants who presented moderate levels of perceived stress have high cortisol values and 97.5% normal levels.
