Abstract

The aim of the current study was to demonstrate the relationship between violence against women (VAW) in intimate partner relationships and academic presenteeism of students enrolled in business and engineering programs, at Peruvian universities. This study adopted an exploratory crosssectional survey design through a survey of 2640 university students from the business and engineering schools of 34 Peruvian universities. It was found that 96.5% of the respondents reported academic presenteeism and 32.0% are survivors of VAW. Partial least squares regression found that VAW generates 8.47 days lost due to academic presenteeism, which at the same time generates 15.12 critical incidents with professors and colleagues, during the academic year. Finally, it was demonstrated that VAW is a determining factor that explains 7.2% of university students’ academic presenteeism. This study is among the very few that empirically seek to explore the actual time that students use in a day at university. Thus, it measured actual academic productive hours of university students in Peru. Resumen: El objetivo del presente estudio es demostrar la relación entre la violencia contra las mujeres (VCM) en las relaciones de pareja íntima y el presentismo académico de los estudiantes matriculados en programas de negocios e ingeniería en universidades peruanas. Este estudio adoptó un diseno de encuesta transversal exploratoria a través de una encuesta a 2640 estudiantes universitarios de las escuelas de negocios e ingeniería de 34 universidades peruanas. Se encontró que el 96,5% de los encuestados reportaron presentismo académico y el 32% son sobrevivientes de VCM. La regresión de mínimos cuadrados parciales mostró que la VCM genera 8,47 días perdidos debido al presentismo académico, el cual, al mismo tiempo, genera 15,12 incidentes críticos con profesores y colegas durante el ano académico. Finalmente, se demostró que la VCM es un factor determinante que explica el 7,2% del presentismo académico de los estudiantes universitarios. Este estudio se encuentra entre los pocos que empíricamente buscan explorar el tiempo real que los estudiantes usan en un día en la universidad, por lo que midió las horas productivas académicas reales de estudiantes universitarios en Perú. Résumé: L’objectif de cette étude est démontrer le rapport entre la violence contre les femmes (VCM) en ce qui concerne les relations avec leurs partenaires intimes et l’assiduité scolaire des éleves inscrits a des programmes d’affaires et de l’ingénierie, dans les universités péruviennes. Cette étude a adopté un plan d’enquete transversale exploratoire aupres de 2640 étudiants des écoles de commerce et d’ingénieurs dans 34 universités péruviennes. On a constaté que 96,5% des étudiants enquetés ont déclaré avoir assiduité, tandis que le 32,0% sont des survivants de la VCM. La régression par des moindres carrés partiels montre que la VCM provoque 8,47 jours scolaires perdus a l’université, ceux qu’en meme temps entraine 15,12 disputes avec les enseignants et les collegues étudiants, au cours de l’année scolaire. Enfin, il a été démontré que la VCM explique un 7,2% de l’assiduité des étudiants universitaires. Cette étude est parmi les tres rares recherches qui explorent l’emploi du temps des éleves dans une meme journée. Nous avons donc la quantité d’heures productives académiques des étudiants universitaires au Pérou.
