O medo e a ansiedade em relação à doença podem ser esmagadores e gerar emoções fortes em adultos e crianças. Por toda a pesquisa acima, surge a questão de determinar os sintomas de ansiedade e depressão durante o período de isolamento do surto de COVID-19 no Paraguai. Métodos: Estudo transversal, realizado entre os dias 17 e 20 de março de 2020, em todos os cidadãos residentes no Paraguai, de ambos os sexos, com idade superior a 18 anos, que concordaram em participar do estudo. Para medir a ansiedade e os sintomas depressivos, foi utilizada a Escala de Ansiedade e Depressão de Goldberg (EADG); Esse instrumento consiste em duas subescalas que tornam o nível de ansiedade e depressão mensurável separadamente, com apenas duas possibilidades de resposta; afirmativo e negativo. Resultados: participaram do estudo 1180 sujeitos, dos quais 34,24% (404) tinham entre 20 e 29 anos, 51,53% (608) eram mulheres, 39,07% (461) eram casados, 35,51% (419) eram universitários e 63,73 % (752) eram do interior do país. 49,66% (586) apresentaram sintomas de ansiedade e 47,20% (557) sintomas depressivos. Conclusões: uma grande proporção da população apresentou sintomas ansiosos ou depressivos, o que foi observado quase na mesma medida em ambos os sexos, no entanto, ocorreu principalmente em uma idade mais avançada e em residentes do interior do país.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2020-04-24info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/15210.1590/SciELOPreprints.152enghttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/152/181Copyright (c) 2020 Carlos Miguel Rios-González, Jose Miguel Palacioshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRios-González, Carlos MiguelPalacios, Jose Miguelreponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:SciELOinstacron:SCI2020-04-22T23:41:59Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/152Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2020-04-22T23:41:59SciELO Preprints - SciELOfalse |
