“…There was no plan by the federal government to reorient the economy in order to stimulate the necessary service and product sectors. The social support actions that would allow adherence to social isolation strategy were also timid (Henriques & Vasconcelos, 2020). An interesting sutdy showed that prolonged exposure to the pandemic news is directly related to the chance of developing mental disorders (Campos et al, 2020).…”

Brazilian Adaptation of the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale: A Psychometric Investigation of a Measure of Coronaphobia

et al. 2021

This study examined the psychometric properties of a Brazilian adapted version of the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS-BR) in a sample of adults in Brazil. Confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated that the CAS-BR produces a reliable (α = .84), unidimensional construct whose structure was shown to be invariant across gender, race, and age. However, some items of the CAS-BR were stronger indicators of the coronavirus anxiety construct for women and younger adults. Although the CAS-BR demonstrated evidence of discrimination ability for functional impairment (AUC = .77), Youden indexes were low to identify a clinical cut-score. Construct validity was demonstrated with correlations between CAS-BR scores and measures of functional impairment, generalized anxiety, and depression. Exploratory analyses revealed that CAS-BR total scores were higher among women and participants with a history of anxiety disorder. These findings are consistent with previous investigations and support the validity of CAS-BR for measuring coronavirus anxiety with Brazilian adults.

“…The perception of the importance of avoiding crowded places and practicing social distancing to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is variable in Brazil ( Henriques & Vasconcelos, 2020 ; Natividade et al, 2020 ). Conversely, 84.5% of the respondents of this work reported to practice social distancing, which may be related to the specific population segment that responded the survey.…”

Background Several actions in the realm of public policies and programs have been implemented worldwide to prevent and control the spread of COVID-19. As Brazil and many parts of the world are marked by regional, cultural, and social inequalities, risk communication and assimilation of protection recommendations by the public may be erratic, hampering the proper measurement of their effectiveness. Scope and approach Even though transmission of SARS-CoV-2 by foods is unlikely, this work aimed to evaluate the population's adherence to the recommended food hygiene and personal protection measures to prevent COVID-19. An online survey containing questions on food hygiene and personal protection was publicly disseminated via internet and social networks. Data from 3000 respondents were collected and discussed herein. Key findings and conclusions: Most respondents adopted the recommended hygienic and personal protection measures to avoid contamination with SARS-CoV-2. However, some important flaws were detected, such as lack of use of face masks when in public places (6%), improper hand washing and sanitizing (10–12%) and use of incorrect products for food or environment cleaning and sanitization (28%), indicating that adequate risk communication and preventive recommendations must continue in order to avoid contamination with the coronavirus. The heighten awareness with food hygiene during the pandemic may have an enduring positive effect on food safety.

“…No caso do Brasil, a pandemia de Covid-19 não trouxe apenas um agravamento sobre a questão sanitária, mas é também atravessada por uma enorme crise política no país (Henriques, Pessanha, & Vasconcelos, 2020;Porto, Neves, & Lima, 2020a, 2020bSodré, 2020). Essa crise política está alinhada a uma agenda de descrença sobre as comunidades epistêmicas como uma das marcas do atual governo federal, em que instituições promotoras ou disseminadoras de conhecimento são alvos de descrédito ou desconfiança, entre elas a mídia e a ciência (Albuquerque & Quinan, 2019;Oliveira, 2020).…”

Introdução: A pandemia do novo coronavirus trouxe consigo um forte aliado responsável por tornar cada vez mais difícil o enfrentamento da doença, a desinformação científica. Opiniões negacionistas, teorias conspiratórias, oportunismo político são alguns exemplos de uso malicioso por trás da disseminação de informação sobre o vírus, seus efeitos, formas de tratamento e prevenção. Método: por meio de um estudo infodemiológico a pesquisa analisa o compartilhamento de informações no Twitter sobre a hidroxicloroquina, o medicamento que tem ganhado destaque quando se fala de um possível tratamento farmacológico da doença. Os dados foram coletados via Netlytic por meio do monitoramento da hashtag #hidroxicloroquinaja entre os dias 11 a 30 de maio e são analisados a partir da análise da rede de interação em torno do compartilhamento, compreensão dos termos frequentes e categorização das postagens. Resultados: Foram analisados 3.714 tweets e identificados 2.089 usuários, dos quais apenas 678 (32,4%) mantiveram algum tipo de conexão com outros usuários na rede. Os termos frequentes e sua distribuição indicam que a questão é protagonizada mais por aspectos políticos do que de saúde, com maior concentração de mensagens em poucos usuários e um grande número responsável por sua viralização. As categorias mais comuns foram “Ataque a agentes políticos” e “Descrença nas instituições epistêmicas”. Conclusão: No contexto estudado percebe-se que os valores da própria cultura científica, como reconhecimento e autoridade, vão ganhando novas camadas informacionais em disputa política em um momento no qual as instituições epistêmicas estão em declínio.
