[en] Background: Sexual harrassment is a problem that is present in university. Being young and female are risk factors. Objective: Calculate the prevalence of sexual harassment among students of Health Sciences at the University of Coruña, as well as estimate some aspects of physical and mental health (chronic musculoskeletal pain, central sensitization, health-related quality of life), identifying possible correlations between these variables. Material and methods: Cross-sectional study of prevalence and correlation. Validated questionnaires were used: EASIS-U1, NMQ2, NRS2, CSI4 and SF-125. Approved by the UDC Ethics Committee. Results: n=171 (79,5% women, age: 23(5) years). The prevalence of sexual violence was sexual blackmail (1.52%), verbal harassment (9.35%) and physical harassment (3.34%). There is a high prevalence of cervical, lumbar, and upper back musculoskeletal pain, as well as mean values of central sensitization. There is a widespread effect on mental health, significantly greater in women (p = 0.002), and a high rate of anxious-depressive clinical diagnoses. Significant correlations were found for upper back pain and experiences of sexual blackmail and verbal harassment (p <0.005). The other variables of physical and mental health show worse results in subjects with experiences of sexual violence, without being statistically significant. Conclusions: Sexual violence at the University correlates with the presence of upper back pain. People with experiences of sexual harassment tend to have worse physical and mental health outcomes, although without statistical relevance. The mental health of the students has a significant impact.

[gl] Antecedentes: o acoso sexual é unha problemática presente na Universidade, sendo o xénero feminino e ser xoven factores de risco. Obxectivo: calcular a prevalencia de acoso sexual experimentado na Universidade polo estudantado de Ciencias da Saúde da UDC, así como estimar aspectos da saúde física e mental (dor crónica musculoesquelética, sensibilización central e calidade de vida relacionada coa saúde), e identificar as posibles asociacións entre tales variables. Metodoloxía: estudo transversal de prevalencia e correlacional. Empregáronse cuestionarios validados: EASIS-U1, NMQ2, NRS3, CSI4 e SF-125. Aprobado polo Comité de Ética da UDC. Resultados: n=171 (79,5% mulleres, idade: 23(5) anos). A prevalencia de violencia sexual foi: chantaxe sexual (1,5%), acoso verbal (9,4%) e acoso físico (3,3%). Preséntase alta prevalencia de dor musculoesquelética cervical, lumbar e de costas superior, así como valores medios de sensibilización central. Obsérvase unha afectación xeneralizada da saúde mental, maior no xénero feminino (p=0,002), e alto índice de diagnósticos clínicos ansiosodepresivos. Atopáronse correlacións significativas para a dor en costas superior e experiencias de chantaxe sexual e acoso verbal (p<0,005). O resto de variables de saúde física e mental presentan peores resultados nos suxeitos con experiencias de violencia sexual, sen ser estatisticamente significantes. Conclusións: a violencia sexual na Universidade correlaciónase coa presenza de dor de costas superior. As persoas con experiencias de acoso sexual tenden a presentar peores resultados de saúde física e mental, aínda que sen significancia estatística. A prevalencia de dor musculoesquelética é elevada. A saúde mental das estudantes presenta unha importante afectación.
