La presente investigación describió las asociaciones entre el bienestar psicológico, sus
dimensiones, y el nivel de autoeficacia percibida en una muestra de adultos mayores del distrito de Jesús María. Participaron 71 adultos mayores entre 60 y 86 años de edad (M=70.65, DE=7.19), quienes asistían al Centro del Adulto Mayor (CAM) del distrito. Se usó la escala de Bienestar Psicológico adaptada por Díaz et al. (2006), la cual propone seis dimensiones: autoaceptación, relaciones positivas, autonomía, crecimiento personal, propósito en la vida y dominio del entorno; y la escala de Baessler y Schwarzer (1996), la cual mide la autoeficacia percibida general. A partir de ello se efectuaron análisis descriptivos, comparaciones de medias y medianas y correlaciones.
Los resultados indican que existen correlaciones directas entre el bienestar psicológico global, así como sus dimensiones, y la autoeficacia. Además, se analizó cada población con
respecto al sexo, grado de instrucción, tener pareja y con quién vive. En la muestra de los adultos mayores existen diferencias con respecto al sexo, encontrándose mayor bienestar en los hombres. Asimismo, quienes tienen pareja muestran mayor bienestar psicológico global, relaciones positivas, crecimiento personal, propósito en la vida y dominio del entorno. Y según la variable con quién vive, los que están con su cónyuge e hijos presentan mayor bienestar psicológico, propósito en la vida y relaciones positivas. En conclusión, resulta favorable para el adulto mayor el establecimiento de vínculos interpersonales, ya que ello beneficiará a los niveles de bienestar psicológico y autoeficacia. / The present study described the relationship between psychological well-being, its dimensions, and self-efficacy in a sample of elderly people from Jesús María. This research
involved 71 elderly people with ages between 60 and 86 years old (M = 70.65, SD = 7.19), who attended the Older Adult Centre (CAM) of the district. The adaptation of the Psychological Well-being scale of Diaz et al. (2006), which has six dimensions: Self-acceptance, positive relations, autonomy, personal growth, purpose in life and environmental mastery, and the General self- efficacy Scale (GSE) of Baessler and Schwarzer (1996) were used for this purpose. Based on that, there were descriptive analysis, comparison of means and medians and correlations.
The results indicate that there is a direct and significant relationship between the global
psychological well- being as well as their dimensions, and self-efficacy. In addition, significant differences were found in well-being according to sex, level of education, having a partner and who the person lives with. Regarding sex, it was found that well-being is higher in men. Also, it was found that couples showed higher psychological well-being, positive relationships, personal growth, purpose in life and environmental mastery. Finally, it was found that those who live with their spouse and children have greater psychological well-being, purpose in life and positive relationships. In conclusion, it is beneficial for the elderly to establish interpersonal relationships because it seems this this will increase levels of psychological well-being and selfefficacy.
