Adaptación universitaria de estudiantes de Obstetricia. Facultad de Enfermería y Obstetricia. San Lorenzo-Paraguay. 2023

University adaptation is a multidimensional process involving academic, personal, social, and institutional aspects, and is key to the well-being and academic performance of health science students. The objective of the study was to determine the level of university adaptation of students in the Obstetrics program at the Faculty of Nursing and Obstetrics of the National University of Asunción, San Lorenzo, Paraguay, in 2023. An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach was conducted. The sample consisted of 61 students selected through non-probabilistic sampling of consecutive cases. Data collection was carried out using a structured Likert scale survey, previously validated and adapted to the institutional context, with a Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of 0.955. The results showed that university adaptation does not depend exclusively on academic skills, but also on personal, interpersonal, and institutional factors, such as vocational motivation, time management, social relationships, and perception of the institution. It is concluded that the adaptation of midwifery students is a complex and multifaceted process, which is why it is essential to consider personal, academic, and contextual dimensions in a comprehensive manner in order to promote their retention, well-being, and success.
