Resumen
El primer año universitario marca el resto de la experiencia universitaria, y para las instituciones es un reto constante el aumento en la demanda de servicios de salud mental. Este proceso de transición hace ineludible integrar servicios dirigidos no solo al área académica sino a aspectos personales, emocionales y de salud. Las destrezas de vida son un papel importante en el manejo de situaciones estresantes, siendo la resiliencia uno de los más importantes. En muchas circunstancias, esta contribuye a que un estudiante pueda sobreponerse a la frustración, estrés, eventos traumáticos y el ajuste a su vida universitaria. Este artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio realizado con estudiantes de nuevo ingreso donde se investigó la interacción de las siguientes variables: resiliencia, estrés, autoeficacia, clima institucional y estilos de crianza. Los resultados obtenidos coinciden con estudios relacionados donde el estudiante que posee buen nivel de resiliencia puede sobrellevar y superar las dificultades personales y académicas por las que atraviesa.
