Adesão às medidas de restrição de contato físico e disseminação da COVID-19 no Brasil

Abstract

Resumo Objetivo: Analisar a adesão da população às medidas de restrição de contato físico e disseminação da COVID-19 no Brasil. Métodos: Inquérito de saúde, realizado pela internet, com amostragem em cadeia, no período de 24 de abril a 24 de maio de 2020. A intensidade da adesão à restrição de contato físico foi analisada segundo características sociodemográficas, utilizando-se modelos de regressão logística para investigar associações com ‘Nenhuma/pouca adesão’. Resultados: Dos 45.161 participantes, 74,2% (73,8-74,6%) relataram intensa adesão às medidas. O grupo que não aderiu às medidas foi composto homens (31,7%), com idade de 30 a 49 anos (36,4%), baixa escolaridade (33,0%), trabalhando durante a pandemia (81,3%), residentes nas regiões Norte (28,1%) e Centro-Oeste (28,5%) do país. Houve importante redução das taxas de crescimento diário, de 45,4 para 5,0%. Conclusão: Grande parte da população brasileira aderiu às medidas de restrição de contato físico, o que, possivelmente, contribuiu para reduzir a disseminação da COVID-19.

COVID-19 outbreak in Brazil: adherence to national preventive measures and impact on people’s lives, an online survey

“…In our study, younger age was also associated with a lower overall score. In another large online survey in Brazil conducted between April 24th and May 24th, assessing only the degree of adherence to physical contact restriction measures, greater adherence was found among females compared to males but it was mainly the 30 to 49 year old group that was less adherent and not the younger age group [23]. People living in rural areas and poor neighborhoods were also less adherent: in rural areas people may not perceive themselves at high risk of COVID-19, and therefore may not respect the national restriction measures and not practice individual hygiene measures [24].…”

Mudanças nas condições socioeconômicas e de saúde dos brasileiros durante a pandemia de COVID-19

“…The positive effects of social restriction measures could be observed in the reduction tendency of daily growth rates in the number of accumulated cases in Brazil, from the first week of March to the last week of May, 2020 27 . These measures were essential to contain the dissemination of the disease and prevent the overload of the health system.…”

“…The results were also publicized by the media, which allowed to guide the population to maintain healthy habits and look for telemedicine services to mitigate psychological disorders. Several articles showing changes in health conditions and lifestyle during the COVID-19 pandemic have been published or were approved for publication 27,32,37,40,41 .…”
