Resumo: | Older people's mental health is at risk during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study investigated gender differences in home isolation, beliefs about Covid-19 and mental health indicators among elderly internet users during the pandemic. A total of 384 older persons (66.9% women and 30.1% men) answered an online survey devised to collect information on sociodemographic characteristics, beliefs/attitudes about Covid-19, depression (PHQ-2), loneliness (short version of the UCLA-BR), social support and resilience (the BRS). Older women showed poorer mental health indicators, were more likely to adhere to home isolation and believe in the effectiveness of this measure, and felt more self-confident to self-isolate at home. Stronger perceived vulnerability to COVID-19 and awareness of the gravity of the disease were related to poorer mental health indicators among women. Older women are a high-risk group for negative mental health outcomes during the pandemic and should therefore be a primary focus of actions to mitigate the effects of the pandemic on mental health. |

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar las diferencias de género en relación con el aislamiento domiciliario, las creencias sobre el Covid-19 y los indicadores de salud mental en los ancianos, que son usuarios de Internet, durante la pandemia. Una muestra de 384 ancianos (66,9% mujeres y 30,1% hombres) respondieron cuestionarios online para medir: datos sociodemográficos, creencias y actitudes sobre Covid-19, depresión (PHQ-2), soledad (versión corta del UCLA-BR), apoyo social y resiliência (EBR). Las mujeres de edad avanzada presentaron los peores índices de salud mental, se adhirieron más al aislamiento en el hogar, informaron que creían más en la efectividad del aislamiento y se sentían más seguras de sí mismas al practicarlo. Las percepciones más fuertes de vulnerabilidad y gravedad de la enfermedad mostraron más relaciones significativas con los peores índices de salud mental para las ancianas. Las ancianas son un grupo de riesgo de resultados negativos para la salud mental en la pandemia de la Covid-19, y este grupo debería ser un enfoque prioritario para las acciones de mitigación de los efectos de la pandemia en la salud mental.A saúde mental de idosos encontra-se em risco durante pandemia de Covid-19. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar diferenças de sexo com relação ao isolamento domiciliar, crenças sobre Covid-19 e indicadores de saúde mental em idosos usuários de internet durante a pandemia. A amostra foi composta por 384 idosos (66,9% mulheres e 30,1% homens) que responderam instrumentos online para aferir: dados sociodemográficos, crenças/atitudes sobre Covid-19, depressão (PHQ-2), solidão (versão curta da UCLA-BR), suporte social e resiliência (EBR). Idosas apresentaram piores índices de saúde mental, aderiram mais ao isolamento domiciliar, relataram acreditar mais na efetividade do isolamento e sentiram-se mais autoconfiantes em praticá-lo. Percepções mais fortes sobre vulnerabilidade e gravidade da doença apresentaram relações com piores índices de saúde mental para as idosas. Idosas compreendem grupo de risco para desfechos negativos em saúde mental na pandemia da Covid-19, devendo esse grupo ser foco prioritário para ações de mitigação dos efeitos da pandemia no âmbito da saúde mental.Universidade de São Paulo.
