Abstract

Abstract:The objective of the research is to determine the relationship between physical health, subjective feeling of loneliness, stress and psychological inflexibility in the university community. The study design is a descriptive correlational and retrospective type. A sample of 100 participants was selected, of which 57% are men, with a mean age of 21 years and single. An Ad hoc survey, loneliness scale (UCLA), perceived stress scale (PSS) and the action avoidance questionnaire (AAQ) were applied. Statistically, it is determined that while higher level of stress, the perception of loneliness increases, the higher perception of stress, higher levels of psychological inflexibility, and finally, the greater feeling of loneliness, represents higher levels of psychological inflexibility. Regarding the proposed objective, there is no significant relationship between the study variables and the most prevalent diseases (gastrointestinal problems, allergies and anemia)
