ABSTRACT

This work constitutes an exploratory study during the second and third phases of COVID-19 in Mexico, characterized by local transmission and untraceable cases, respectively, with an incidental sample of 666 participants. The 21-item Depression Anxiety Stress Scale was used to assess depression, anxiety and stress associated to COVID-19. Additionally, the Impact of the Event Scale-Revised was applied to assess the impact of the event, and the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale was employed to assess resilience. Participants’ levels of traumatic impact (21.7%), severe depression (7%), severe anxiety (9.4%) and severe stress (5.4%) were revealed to be lower than other populations. Comparison of means and effect size η²_p of the data shows that women and young people (18–39 years) suffer the greatest negative effects. Individuals with higher levels of resilience experience fewer psychological consequences confirming its importance in the face of the adversities. These findings provide valuable information on the impact of COVID-19 pandemic in the Mexican population, allowing a comparative analysis at an international level which can be helpful in the development of appropriate sanitary policies.

摘要

这项工作构成了墨西哥 COVID-19 第二和第三阶段的探索性研究，其特点分别是本地传播和无法追踪的病例，附带有 666 名参与者的样本。21 项抑郁焦虑压力量表用于评估与 COVID-19 相关的抑郁、焦虑和压力。此外，使用修订后的事件量表的影响来评估事件的影响，并采用 10 项康纳戴维森弹性量表来评估弹性。参与者的创伤影响（21.7%）、严重抑郁（7%）、严重焦虑（9.4%）和严重压力（5.4%）的水平低于其他人群。均值和效应大小 η ² _p的比较的数据显示，女性和年轻人（18-39 岁）受到的负面影响最大。具有较高复原力水平的个人经历的心理后果较少，这证实了其在面对逆境时的重要性。这些发现提供了有关 COVID-19 大流行对墨西哥人口的影响的宝贵信息，允许在国际层面进行比较分析，这有助于制定适当的卫生政策。
