Abstract

Background: the academic profile of the students of the health careers can be determined according to their characteristics in the school stage, being the school involvement one of the most important.
Objective: to analyze the school involvement in virtual environments of high school students from an educational institution in Metropolitan Lima who are interested in pursuing a health career at the end of their school years.
Methods: cross-sectional, descriptive, observational design study, which included a population of 760 students from 11 to 15 years of age from an educational institution in Metropolitan Lima, out of them 308 students with an interest in a health career were selected as a sample, to whom was applied an adaptation of the School Involvement Scale (EIE-A) considering the virtual learning environment.
Results: a high level of school involvement was found, with an average score of 5.92 ± 0.92 points for a maximum of 7 points. The lowest average was found in the emotional dimension with 5.65±1.34 points, while the behavioral dimension presented the highest average with 6.08±0.98 points. No significant difference was found according to the gender of the students (p<0.05), but it was found in the case of the grade (p<0.05), since the first grade students presented the highest average scores and those of the first grade fourth grade the lowest.
Conclusions: school involvement in virtual environments is high among adolescents who have a preference for health careers, especially among first-year high school students.
