Resumo: The current research aimed to assess the effect of the trait anxiety on fear of Covid-19 mediated by resilience. For that, we counted on a convenience sample of 261 university students from Brazil. Participants completed a survey composed by the Fear of Covid-19 Scale (FC-19S), the Brief Resilience Scale, the Trait Anxiety Inventory, and demographic questions. Results from a simple mediation with 5000 bootstrap simulations supported the hypothesis that resilience mediates the link between the trait anxiety and fear of Covid-19 (β = .14; 95% C.I. = .027, .254). It was observed that resilience mediated around 35% of the link between the trait anxiety and fear of Covid-19. In sum, we concluded that resilience shows an important role for the maintenance of people’s mental health, which is especially relevant in troubled times like the pandemic.

Para ello, participó una muestra de conveniencia de 261 estudiantes universitarios brasileños. Los participantes respondieron un cuestionario en línea (formularios de Google) que contiene Escala de miedo Covid-19 (FC-19S), Escala de resiliencia breve, Inventario de ansiedad de rasgos y preguntas sociodemográficas. Mediante un análisis de mediación simple y un remuestreo de 5000 bootstrap, se confirmó la hipótesis del presente estudio, ya que hubo un efecto de mediación estadísticamente significativo (efecto indirecto) (β = 0,14; IC 95% = 0,027 - 0.254), donde la variable resiliencia medió aproximadamente el 35% de la relación entre el rasgo de ansiedad y el miedo al Covid-19. Concluimos que la resiliencia juega un papel importante en el mantenimiento de la salud mental de las personas, especialmente durante períodos de crisis como una pandemia.O objetivo principal deste estudo foi verificar o poder explicativo da ansiedade-traço no medo do Covid-19, sendo mediado pela resiliência.

Os participantes responderam a um questionário online (Google formulários) contendo a Escala de Medo do Covid-19 - (FC-19S), a Escala Breve de Resiliência, o Inventário de Ansiedade Traço e questões de caráter sociodemográficas. Por meio de uma análise de mediação simples e 5000 bootstrap re-amostragens, confirmou-se a hipótese do presente estudo, uma vez que houve efeito de mediação (efeito indireto) estatisticamente significativo (β=0,14; 95% C.I. = 0,027 – 0,254), onde a variável resiliência mediou aproximadamente 35% da relação entre ansiedade-traço e medo do Covid-19.
