La Percepción de los Adolescentes Portugueses sobre la Pandemia Covid-19: Diferencias de Género y Relaciones con los Síntomas Psicopatológicos
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
La pandemia de Covid-19 está teniendo un gran impacto en la salud mental de las personas. Los adolescentes se han enfrentado a varios posibles estresores. El objetivo de este estudio fue explorar cómo los adolescentes portugueses percibieron el brote de Covid-19 y la relación entre el impacto percibido de la pandemia y la salud mental. Los participantes fueron 130 adolescentes (97 mujeres) que respondieron cuestionarios online sobre la pandemia Covid-19 y DASS-21. 73% de los adolescentes estuvo de acuerdo en que la pandemia de Covid-19 afectó sus vidas y el 45% se sintió emocionalmente afectado. Sentirse incómodo con la familia durante la cuarentena se correlacionó con síntomas de depresión (r = .39), ansiedad (r = .44) y estrés (r = .37), y sentirse capaz de lidiar con la pandemia se correlacionó negativamente con los síntomas psicopatológicos. Las adolescentes parecían estar más emocionalmente afectadas. Estos resultados apuntan al efecto negativo de la pandemia Covid-19 en la salud mental de los adolescentes portugueses.
