“…These guidelines focus on promoting people's psychological well-being and preventing and/or treating mental diseases (IASC, 2007). These goals are achieved by employing multiple approaches that take into account biological, sociocultural, educational, and community characteristics, which should focus on reducing harm, promoting human rights and equality, social participation, and valorization of local resources and competencies, the work via integrated support systems, and rehabilitation (Dong, Du, & Gardner, 2020;Fukuti et al, 2020).…”

Introduction: Little is known about how sheltering in place to contain the spread of COVID-19 over extended periods affects individuals' psychological well-being. This study's objective was to analyze the factors associated with MSM's low psychological well-being in the COVID-19 pandemic context. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted online in the entire Brazilian territory (26 states and federal district) in April and May 2020. The participants were recruited using an adapted version of Respondent-Driven Sampling (RDS). Data were collected using social media and MSM dating apps. We estimated the prevalence, crude prevalence ratio (PR), and respective confidence intervals (CI95%). Results: Only 44.4% of the sample presented high levels of well-being. Low psychological well-being appeared associated with the youngest age group (PR: 2.76; CI95%: 1.90-4.01), polyamorous relationships (PR: 2.78; CI95%: 1.51-5.11), not complying with social isolation measures (PR: 6.27; CI95%: 4.42-8.87), not using the social media to find partners (PR: 1.63; CI95%: 1.06-2.53), having multiple sexual partners (PR: 1.80; CI95%: 1.04-3.11), having reduced the number of partners (PR: 2.67; CI95%: 1.44-4.95), and group sex (PR: 1.82; CI95%: 1.23-2.69) Conclusion: The well-being of MSM living in Brazil was negatively affected during the social distancing measures intended to control the spread of COVID-19. Policy Implications: Planning and implementing public policies and actions to promote psychological well-being are needed to improve MSM's resilience through the adoption of safe strategies and behavior.

Introduction Little is known about how sheltering in place to contain the spread of COVID-19 over extended periods affects individuals’ psychological well-being. This study’s objective was to analyze the factors associated with MSM’s (men who have sex with men) low psychological well-being in the COVID-19 pandemic context. Method This cross-sectional study was conducted online across Brazil (26 states and federal district) in April and May 2020. The participants were recruited using snowball sampling and Facebook posts. Data were collected using social media and MSM dating apps. We estimated the prevalence, crude prevalence ratio (PR), and the respective confidence intervals (CI95%). Results The prevalence of low psychological well-being found in the sample was 7.9%. Associated factors were belonging to the youngest group (PR 2.76; CI95% 1.90–4.01), having polyamorous relationships (PR 2.78; CI95% 1.51–5.11), not complying with social isolation measures (PR 6.27; CI95% 4.42–8.87), not using the social media to find partners (PR 1.63; CI95% 1.06–2.53), having multiple sexual partners (PR 1.80; CI95% 1.04–3.11), having reduced the number of partners (PR 2.67; CI95% 1.44–4.95), and group sex (PR 1.82; CI95% 1.23–2.69) Conclusion The well-being of MSM living in Brazil was negatively affected during the social distancing measures intended to control the spread of COVID-19. The variables that contributed the most to this outcome include social isolation, relationships established with partners, and sexual behavior. Policy Implications Planning and implementing public policies and actions to promote psychological well-being are needed to improve MSM’s resilience by adopting safe strategies and behavior.

Introducción. La pandemia de la COVID-19 representa un desafío para los sistemas de salud en el mundo. Esto se debe a que la carga laboral recae sobre su personal y se traduce en estrés, ansiedad y otros problemas de salud mental. Métodos. Se realizó una revisión de la literatura disponible en distintos buscadores científicos (Pubmed, Medline, Scopus, Google Scholar) y en la página web de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) de enero a julio del 2020. Los artículos incluidos en la revisión debieron estar publicados en revistas indizadas. Desarrollo. Los trabajadores de la salud experimentaron más estrés, ansiedad, insomnio y síntomas de depresión que el resto de la población. Adicionalmente, se identificó factores de riesgo que predisponen a alteraciones en su bienestar mental como ser mujer, personal de enfermería o estudiantil, la infodemia y la desinformación. Conclusión. Es necesario el monitoreo del bienestar mental de los trabajadores de la salud mediante la telemedicina y el apoyo psicológico para brindar atención a quienes experimentan estos problemas de salud, así como implementar campañas de concientización y proporcionar equipo de protección adecuado al personal de salud.
