The sample was non-probabilistic, made up of 534 university students from Ecuador. A descriptive, correlational cross-sectional design was used. The instruments applied had evidence of validity and reliability; were applied through the SurveyMonkey tool. The results showed mild depression, moderate stress, severe anxiety, and self-efficacy in insufficient levels. Significant relationships were identified between the mental health and self-efficacy variables.
