psychological effects during the covid-19 outbreak in argentina |
| description |
After the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak, global measures were implemented with the aim of containing its progression. On March 20, 2020, the mandatory preventive quarantine began in Argentina. As a result of these events, previous studies conducted in the framework of this pandemic in China, have shown psychological consequences. The aim of this study is to explore, through a self-administered electronic survey, attitudes and fears regarding COVID-19, the development of depressive symptoms and the pattern of alcohol consumption among the argentinian population during quarantine (n = 759). As a result, we observed that fear of COVID-19 was greater in 55 to 59 years old people, with an abrupt drop above 70; that depressed mood and the increased of alcohol consumption were more frequent in youngest subjects, and that depressed mood was also frequent among subjects who lost their jobs during quarantine. Finally, we observed an elevated degree of agreement with the quarantine measure, even in some people who suffered a decrease in their income greater than 80% during quarantine. These results are useful for obtaining information about risk groups, enabling specific preventive and therapeutic strategies could be designed. |

On March 20, 2020, the mandatory preventive quarantine began in Argentina. As a result of these events, previous studies conducted in the framework of this pandemic in China, have shown psychological consequences. The aim of this study is to explore, through a self-administered electronic survey, attitudes and fears regarding COVID-19, the development of depressive symptoms and the pattern of alcohol consumption among the argentinian population during quarantine (n = 759).

Luego de que la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) declarara la pandemia por el nuevo coronavirus (COVID-19), se implementaron medidas a nivel mundial con el objetivo de contener su progresión. El 20 de marzo de 2020 se inició el confinamiento preventivo obligatorio en Argentina. Estudios realizados en el marco de esta pandemia en China, han evidenciado consecuencias psicológicas como resultado del temor al contagio y de las medidas de aislamiento. El objetivo del presente estudio es explorar a través de una encuesta autoadministrada por vía electrónica, actitudes y temores frente al COVID-19, la presencia de sintomatología depresiva y el patrón de consumo de alcohol de la población argentina durante el confinamiento (n = 759). Como resultado, observamos que el temor al COVID-19 fue mayor en las personas de entre 55 y 59 años, con un descenso abrupto en los mayores de 70; que el ánimo depresivo y el incremento en el consumo de alcohol fueron más frecuentes en los más jóvenes y que el estado de ánimo depresivo mostró una frecuencia mayor en quienes perdieron el empleo durante el confinamiento. Finalmente, observamos que el grado de acuerdo de los participantes con la medida de confinamiento fue superior al 90% incluso en aquellas personas que sufrieron una disminución de sus ingresos mayor al 80% durante la cuarentena. Los resultados de este estudio brindan información sobre grupos de riesgo para el desarrollo de síntomas psicopatológicos. Estos resultados constituyen una base necesaria para el diseño de estrategias preventivas y terapéuticas focalizadas. Depois que a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) declarou o surto de COVID-19, medidas globais foram implementadas com o objetivo de conter sua progressão. Em 20 de março de 2020, a quarentena preventiva obrigatória começou na Argentina. Como resultado desses eventos, estudos anteriores realizados no âmbito dessa pandemia na China mostraram consequências psicológicas. O objetivo deste estudo é explorar, por meio de uma pesquisa eletrônica autoaplicável, atitudes e medos em relação ao COVID-19, o desenvolvimento de sintomas depressivos e o padrão de consumo de álcool entre a população argentina em quarentena (n = 759). Como resultado, observamos que o medo do COVID-19 era maior em pessoas entre 55 e 59 anos, com queda abrupta acima de 70; que o humor deprimido e o aumento do consumo de álcool foram mais frequentes nos indivíduos mais jovens, e que o humor deprimido também foi frequente nos indivíduos que perderam o emprego durante a quarentena. Por fim, observamos um elevado grau de concordância com a medida de quarentena, mesmo em algumas pessoas que sofreram uma diminuição de sua renda superior a 80% durante a quarentena. Esses resultados são úteis para obter informações sobre grupos de risco, permitindo que estratégias terapêuticas e preventivas específicas possam ser projetadas. Universidad Nacional Cba.
