Impacto de la herramienta digital Sanvello en la contención emocional y desempeño académico de estudiantes de medicina de octavo semestre.

Abstract

Abstract: Currently, mental health and academic performance are not typically considered in an integrated manner, raising questions about their combined influence on learning processes. However, deteriorating mental health has a negative impact on the educational setting, making it a key area for intervention. Although tools for emotional support exist, their results have been inconsistent. In this context, the present study proposes Sanvello as a digital tool to strengthen emotional support and academic performance among eighth-semester medical students at the Universidad Regional Autónoma de los Andes. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach, with a non-probabilistic sample of 40 students and an explanatory quasi-experimental design. The results show that 55% of participants perceive improvements in emotional control and general well-being, which contributes to the educational process. However, 30% report no significant changes, and 15% consider these tools to be ineffective, highlighting the need to raise awareness about mental health care.
