“…A study of the sample of unemployed people in Mexico found that unemployment had more effects on men’s mental health than on women’s in the same situation [33]. However, it is risky to transfer these results to the ones we have obtained in our research, specifically because of differences in the social and cultural context, the scale of importance associated to gender in both countries, and the specific social and economic moment in which both studies were carried out, among other things.…”

Having a job is an essential part of people’s development. Unemployment, on the contrary, is one of the most frustrating experiences of life with greater psychological consequences for people’s lives. In this sense, psychology has contributed to an increase in knowledge about the personal and social experience of unemployment. This article discusses indicators of anxiety and depression in unemployed people, modulating socio-demographic variables, and coping strategies involved in the higher and lower levels of anxiety and depression. For this, a sample of 244 unemployed people who are users of the Career Service Centre of the Andalusian Public Employment Service of the city of Huelva is used for a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study. The results show that only 5.7% of the participants do not have depressive symptoms. With regards to anxiety levels, 41.3% of participants have no anxiety. Unemployed people with high anxiety and depression scores have developed maladaptive coping strategies such as substance use, self-blaming, or denial. It is necessary to assess the importance of the unemployment process and the incorporation of appropriate coping strategies that facilitate new integration in the labour market, such as planification, emotional or social support and self-distraction between others.

“…Por otra parte, el estado laboral también se presenta como una preocupación constante producto del panorama actual (Anguita y Dagnino, 2020), ya que el impacto negativo que se ha producido en la economía, provoca una pérdida financiera y riesgo de desempleo, lo que acrecienta aún más las emociones negativas experimentadas por las personas (Ho et al, 2020). Bajo un panorama de normalidad, un estudio señala que los desempleados presentaron puntajes más altos de ansiedad y depresión (Acosta-Rodríguez et al, 2011). En el caso de la actual crisis sanitaria, un estudio indicó que las personas desempleadas o que trabajan en el hogar sin remuneración, tienen un 80% más riesgo de presentar depresión si se compara con aquellos que cuentan con un trabajo fijo; las personas a las cuales se les suspendió su salario, tienen 40% más riesgo de presentar depresión comparadas con las personas que continúan recibiendo su salario; y por último, las personas que fueron despedidas momentánea o definitivamente, tienen alrededor del doble de riesgo de presentar depresión y estrés (Instituto de Investigación en Ciencias del Comportamiento [IICC], 2020).…”

Resilience and sociodemographic factors involved in the presence of depressive, anxiety and of stress symptoms in the Chilean adult population during the COVID-19 pandemic Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a great impact on people’s mental health. The objective of this study was to examine the role of resilience and sociodemographic factors involved in the presence of depressive, anxiety and stress symptoms in the Chilean adult population during the COVID-19 pandemic. A sample of 501 participants answered the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS-21) and the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10). The results indicate that there are high prevalence rates of mental health symptoms during the current health crisis. We found that resilience is inversely associated with the three types of symptoms, also turning out to be a predictor variable for them. It may be concluded that there are groups with a higher risk for experiencing higher levels of depressive, anxiety and stress symptomatology, which indicates the importance of developing strategies that promote mental health. Keywords: COVID-19; resilience; depression; anxiety; stress. Resumen: La pandemia COVID-19 ha provocado un gran impacto en la salud mental de las personas. El objetivo del estudio fue examinar el rol de la resiliencia y de factores sociodemográficos involucrados en la presencia de sintomatología depresiva, ansiosa y de estrés en población adulta chilena durante la pandemia por COVID-19. Una muestra de 501 participantes respondió las Escalas de Depresión, Ansiedad y Estrés (DASS-21) y la Escala de Resiliencia de Connor-Davidson de 10 ítems (CD-RISC-10). Los resultados indican que existen altas tasas de prevalencia de sintomatología de salud mental durante la actual crisis sanitaria. Encontramos que la resiliencia se asocia de forma inversa a los tres tipos de sintomatología, resultando ser, además, una variable predictora para estos. Se concluye que existen grupos con mayor riesgo de experimentar niveles más altos de sintomatología depresiva, ansiosa y de estrés, lo que indica la importancia de desarrollar estrategias que promuevan la salud mental.

Association between the employment status and the presence of depressive symptoms in men and women in MexicoAsociación entre el estatus de empleo y la presencia de síntomas depresivos en hombres y mujeres en México Associação entre situação laboral e presença de sintomas depressivos em homens e mulheres mexicanos AbstractThis study aims to estimate the relationship between employment status and depressive symptoms among Mexican adults, as well as to explore its differential effect by gender. Cross-sectional study of 36,516 adults between 20 and 59 years of age taken from the 2012 Mexican National Health and Nutrition Survey. Depressive symptoms were evaluated using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), and the employment status was determined a week before the survey. Logistic regression models were stratified by gender and education level and adjusted by sociodemographic and health-related conditions to estimate the association between depressive symptoms and employment status. The prevalence of clinically depressive symptoms was 7.59% for men and 18.62% for women. In the case of men, those who were unemployed were more likely to present depressive symptoms (OR = 1.66; 95%CI: 1.08-2.55) than those who were working. For women, employment status is not associated with the presence of depressive symptoms, except in students (OR = 1.57; 95%CI: 1.02-2.43) compared with those who were working. In both genders, disability preventing one from working was associated with depressive symptoms. Although being employed has been reported to be associated with lower levels of psychiatric morbidity, the estimated effect is different for men and women. Occupational health policies should consider these conditions.
