Intolerancia a la incertidumbre durante la pandemia de covid-19: Scoping review
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Se entiende que el factor intolerancia a la incertidumbre es un constructo que implica la dificultad del individuo para enfrentarse a contextos imprevistos. La literatura indica que la intolerancia a la incertidumbre puede tener un impacto negativo en el bienestar, especialmente cuando se vive un contexto inesperado, como la pandemia de Covid-19. En esta perspectiva, el objetivo de este estudio fue realizar una sinopsis de lo estudiado sobre la intolerancia a la incertidumbre en estudiantes de educación superior durante el contexto de la pandemia del Covid-19 a través de una scoping review. La recolección de datos se realizó en las bases de datos EMBASE, MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, PsychInfo y CINAHL con descriptores en inglés. De la aplicación de los criterios de elegibilidad, realizada por dos jueces, fueron seleccionados un total de nueve estudios. Los tres principales temas de investigación de los estudios analizados fueron la relación de la intolerancia a la incertidumbre con 1. características relacionadas con la salud mental, 2. el miedo y 3. actividades académicas y aspectos profesionales. La mayoría de los estudios mostraron una falta de tolerancia a la incertidumbre como predictor de factores dañinos. Además, se constató que en los estudios no se realizaron intervenciones dirigidas al constructo. La presente revisión destaca la capacidad de tolerar la incertidumbre como componente relevante de ser evaluado en los estudiantes y la importancia de realizar intervenciones psicológicas dirigidas a la intolerancia a la incertidumbre en contextos precarios.
