Resumen
Reportada inicialmente como un grupo de casos inexplicables de neumonía en Wuhan, China, la nueva enfermedad por coronavirus, nombrada oficialmente como COVID-19 por la Organización Mundial de la Salud, se extendió precipitadamente por todo el mundo, por lo que el 11 de marzo del 2020, se declaró una pandemia. Su manejo se ha traducido en la imposición de medidas de salud pública que infringen las libertades personales por lo que ha generado implicaciones alarmantes para la salud mental individual y colectiva y el funcionamiento emocional y social, que, además, pueden asociarse a consecuencias tanto a corto como a largo plazo. Objetivo: determinar los efectos percibidos en la salud mental de un grupo poblacional de Colombia durante la pandemia por COVID-19 en el periodo de marzo a mayo del año 2020. Materiales y métodos: estudio descriptivo, de tipo transversal observacional, con un diseño no experimental y de enfoque cuantitativo. Discusión: en este estudio se encontró que la mayoría de los encuestados consideran que, durante el curso de la pandemia, han surgido efectos negativos sobre su salud mental y que, además, constituye una amenaza para la misma. Conclusión: considerando los hallazgos mencionados a lo largo del estudio, se estima que, la pandemia originada por el COVID-19 ha traído consigo efectos negativos en la salud mental de las personas encuestadas por lo que es necesario que se dé un abordaje pleno a la pandemia, generando estrategias estatales que puedan influir de manera positiva sobre la salud mental de la población y evitar las consecuencias a corto y largo plazo.
Initially reported as a group of unexplained cases of pneumonia in Wuhan, China, the new coronavirus disease, officially named COVID-19 by the World Health Organization, rushed across the globe, making it March 11. 2020, a pandemic was declared. Its management has resulted in the imposition of public health measures that infringe personal freedoms, which has generated alarming implications for individual and collective mental health and emotional and social functioning, which, in addition, can be associated with consequences both in the short as long-term. Objective: to determine the perceived effects on mental health of a population group in Colombia during the COVID-19 pandemic in the period from March to May of the year 2020. Materials and methods: a descriptive, cross-sectional, observational study was carried out, with a non-experimental design and a quantitative approach. Discussion: in this study it was found that the majority of the respondents consider that, during the course of the pandemic, negative effects have arisen on their mental health and that, in addition, it constitutes a threat to it. Conclusion: considering the findings mentioned throughout the study, it is estimated that the pandemic caused by COVID-19 has brought about negative effects on the mental health of the people surveyed, so it is necessary to give a full approach to the pandemic, generating state strategies that can positively influence the mental health of the population and avoid the consequences in the short and long term.
