Summary: This study aimed to assess the frequency and associated factors of symptoms of common mental disorders in the Brazilian population at the beginning of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. A sample of 1,482 adults, with a mean age of 34.68 years (SD = 13.66 years), 76.8% female, answered a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), and the Mindful Attention and Awareness Scale. Atypical high levels of symptoms of common disorders were observed, as well as self-mutilation, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts. The mindful trait was the main factor negatively associated with both anxiety and depression symptoms. Worse financial conditions and non-normative sexual orientation predicted symptoms of anxiety and depression, but no differences were found between the group that followed and the one that did not follow the social distancing measures. From the high clinical indices, the pandemic effect can be inferred, but longitudinal studies could help understand long-term effects.

Una muestra de 1.482 adultos, con edad media de 34,68 años (DE = 13,66), 76,8% mujeres, respondieron un cuestionario sociodemográfico, la Escala Depresión, Ansiedad y Estrés – 21 (Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 [DASS-21]) y la Escala de Atención y Conciencia Plena. Se observaron niveles altos atípicos de trastornos comunes, así como automutilación, ideación suicida e intentos de suicidio. La atención plena fue el principal factor asociado negativamente tanto a los síntomas de ansiedad como a los síntomas de depresión. La peor situación económica y orientación sexual no normativa predijeron síntomas de ansiedad y depresión, pero no se encontraron diferencias entre el grupo que siguió y el que no siguió las reglas del distanciamiento social. A partir de los altos índices clínicos, se puede inferir el efecto pandémico, pero estudios longitudinales podrían ayudar a comprender los efectos a largo plazo.Este estudo teve por objetivo avaliar a frequência de sintomas de transtornos mentais comuns e os fatores associados a eles na população brasileira no início da pandemia da coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). Uma amostra de 1.482 adultos, com idade média de 34,68 anos (DP = 13,66), 76,8% do sexo feminino, respondeu a um questionário sociodemográfico, à Escala de Depressão, Ansiedade e Estresse – 21 (Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 [DASS-21]) e à Escala de Atenção e Consciência Plena. Foram observados níveis elevados e atípicos de transtornos comuns, bem como automutilação, ideação suicida e tentativas de suicídio. O traço mindful foi o principal fator associado negativamente tanto a sintomas de ansiedade quantos a sintomas de depressão. Pior condição financeira e orientação sexual não normativa predisseram sintomas de ansiedade e depressão, mas não foram encontradas diferenças entre o grupo que seguiu e o que não seguiu as regras do distanciamento social. O efeito pandêmico pode ser inferido a partir dos níveis clínicos elevados, mas estudos longitudinais podem ajudar a compreender efeitos de longo prazo.Editora Mackenzie2023-01-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontextoapplication/pdfhttp://editorarevistas.mackenzie.br/index.php/ptp/article/view/1444610.5935/1980-6906/ePTPCP14446.enThe Journal Of Psychology: Theory and Practice ; Vol. 25 No. 1 (2023); ePTPCP14446Revista Psicología: Teoría y Práctica; Vol. 25 Núm. 1 (2023); ePTPCP14446Revista Psicologia: Teoria e Prática; v. 25 n. 1 (2023); ePTPCP144461980-69061516-3687reponame:Psicologia (Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie.
