Sumario:The effect of ruminative responses on depressive symptoms in university students after COVID-19 confinement was identified. A total of 382 male and female students (18 to 24 years old) from a public university in the State of Mexico participated. A sociodemographic data sheet, a COVID-19 data questionnaire, the Center of Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CESD-R), and the Ruminative Responses Scale (RSS) were administered. The chi-squared test identified statistically significant differences in smoking and ruminative reflection responses by sex. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the variables associated with depressive symptoms were feeling lonely before COVID-19 (OR = 2.4) and at the end of confinement (OR = 4.3), COVID-19 contagion (OR = 2.3) and ruminative brooding responses (OR = 6.9) in contrast to reflection responses (OR = 0.3), which indicated a protective association.
