0148/2020 - COVID-19 e os impactos na saúde mental: Uma amostra do Rio Grande do Sul COVID-19 and the impacts on mental health: A sampleRio Grande do Sul
As pandemias, como a da COVID-19, afetam uma quantidade relativamente grande de pessoas e impõem novas regras e hábitos sociais para a população mundial. As informações sobre a pandemia são constantes na mídia. Além disso, o distanciamento social foi adotado no Brasil como medida de prevenção da disseminação da COVID-19, o que pode ter consequências econômicas e psicossociais. Nesse contexto, o objetivo deste estudo foi verificar os fatores associados a indicadores de sintomas de transtornos mentais em residentes do Rio Grande do Sul, durante o período inicial da política de distanciamento social decorrente da pandemia da COVID-19. O estudo foi aprovado pelo CONEP. Participaram 799 pessoas, com idades entre 18 e 75 anos (M = 36,56; DP = 12,88), 82,7% mulheres, que responderam um questionário sociodemográfico, de distanciamento social e ao Self-Report Questionnaire (SRQ-20). Os resultados indicaram que ter renda diminuída no período, fazer parte do grupo de risco e estar mais exposto a informações sobre mortos e infectados, são fatores que podem provocar maior prejuízo na saúde mental nesse período pandemia. Investigar determinantes sociais que contribuem para maior vulnerabilidade ao adoecimento mental da população é importante no campo da saúde coletiva para o planejamento de ações e políticas públicas.

Abstract:
Pandemics, such as that of COVID-19, affect a relatively large number of people and impose new rules and social habits on the world population. Information about the pandemic is constant in the media. In addition, social distancing has been adopted in Brazil as a measure to prevent the spread of COVID-19, which may have economic and psychosocial consequences. The objective of this study was to verify the factors associated with indicators of mental disorders symptoms in residents of Rio Grande do Sul, during the initial period of the policy of social distancing. The study was approved by CONEP. There were 799 participants, aged between 18 and 75 years (M = 36.56; SD = 12.88), 82.7% women, who answered a sociodemographic questionnaire, of social distancing and the Self-Report Questionnaire (SRQ-20). The results indicated that having decreased income in the period, being part of the risk group and being more exposed to information about dead and infected, are factors that can cause greater damage to mental health in this pandemic period. Investigating social determinants that contribute to greater vulnerability to mental illness of the population is important in the field of collective health for the planning of public actions and policies.
