The growing problem of mental health in the university population, as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, has generated the need to consider positive variables to address this situation. Life satisfaction and academic engagement are two constructs that emerge as conceptual tools oriented in this direction. The present study sought to describe the effect of academic engagement on life satisfaction in a sample of Chilean university students. A cross-sectional co-relational design was used. A total of 370 university students participated, 72.4% female and 27.6% male, aged beitive effect of engagement on life satisfaction was demonstrated, where the dimensions vigor (β = 0.462; < 0.01) and dedication (β = 0.465; < 0.01) acted as significant predictors (χ = 87.077, gl = 32, < 0.01; χ/gl = 2.721; CFI = 975; TLI = 0.964; RMSEA = 0.068). The proposed model showed factorial invariance according to sex. The usefulness of employing these constructs as a way to manage the well-being and mental health of students in university institutions is discussed.
由于 COVID-19 大流行，大学生群体的心理健康问题日益严重，这促使人们考虑积极的变量来解决这一情况。生活满意度和学业投入是两个出现的概念工具，它们朝着这个方向发展。本研究旨在描述智利大学生样本中学业投入对生活满意度的影响。采用了横断面相关设计。共有 370 名大学生参与，其中 72.4%为女性，27.6%为男性，年龄在 18 至 29 岁之间。研究结果表明，学业投入对生活满意度有积极影响，其中活力（β=0.462；<0.01）和奉献（β=0.465；<0.01）这两个维度是显著的预测指标（χ=87.077，gl=32，<0.01；χ/gl=2.721；CFI=0.975；TLI=0.964；RMSEA=0.068）。根据性别，提出的模型显示出因子不变性。讨论了将这些结构用作管理大学生机构中幸福感和心理健康的一种方式的有用性。
