Resumen
Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar los niveles de depresión, ansiedad, estrés y bienestar psicológico en trabajadores informales de la ciudad de Cúcuta, Colombia. La salud mental en esta población ha sido poco explorada, a pesar de que las condiciones laborales precarias, la exposición a riesgos psicosociales y la vulnerabilidad social pueden generar un impacto significativo en su bienestar emocional. Se utilizó un diseño cuantitativo, no experimental y transversal. Para la recolección de datos se aplicaron cuatro instrumentos: la Escala de Depresión Ansiedad y Estrés (DASS-21), y la Escala de Bienestar Psicológico de Ryff. Los resultados permitieron identificar niveles moderados a altos de estrés y ansiedad, así como bajos niveles de bienestar psicológico en la mayoría de los participantes. Se encontraron correlaciones significativas entre la precariedad laboral y los síntomas de salud mental. Este estudio aporta evidencia inicial para el desarrollo de políticas públicas orientadas a la promoción de la salud mental en trabajadores informales.

The mental health of this population has been scarcely explored, despite the fact that precarious working conditions, exposure to psychosocial risks, and social vulnerability may significantly impact their emotional well-being. A quantitative, non-experimental, and cross-sectional design was used. Data were collected using four instruments: the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) and Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale. The results identified moderate to high levels of stress and anxiety, as well as low levels of psychological well-being in most participants. Significant correlations were found between job precariousness and mental health symptoms. This study provides initial evidence for the development of public policies aimed at promoting mental health in informal workers.
