“…In the field of mental health, the Hermilio Valdizán Hospital, an institution specializing in psychiatry and mental health, has been implementing telehealth services since 2018, providing coordinated teleinterconsultations with healthcare professionals from rural areas and training health personnel through teletraining and training aimed at the general population through teleinformation, tele-education, and telecommunication [33]. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in Peru, the staff used WhatsApp to coordinate appointments, a Google Form to collect general information and informed consent, and a Zoom account provided by the Ministry of Health to carry out teleconsultations, teleinterconsultations, teletraining, and teleinformation, -education, and -communication [33]. Subsequently, an Intranet-Hermilio Valdizán Hospital application and an institutional Zoom account were implemented [33].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic forced the government to rapidly modify its legal framework to adopt telemedicine and promote the implementation of telehealth services to meet the healthcare needs of patients in Peru. In this paper, we aim to review the main changes to the regulatory framework and describe selected initiatives to promote the telehealth framework that emerged in Peru during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, we discuss the challenges to integrate telehealth services for strengthening health systems in Peru. The Peruvian telehealth regulatory framework began in 2005, and in subsequent years, laws and regulations were established that sought to progressively implement a national telehealth network. However, mainly local initiatives were deployed. In this sense, significant challenges remain to be addressed, such as infrastructure in healthcare centers, including high-speed Internet connectivity; infostructure of health-information systems, including interoperability with electronic medical records; monitoring and evaluation of the national agenda for the health sector in 2020–2025; expanding the healthcare workforce in terms of digital health; and developing the capacities of healthcare users on health literacy, including digital aspects. In addition, there is enormous potential for telemedicine as a key strategy to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic and to improve access to rural and hard-to-reach areas and populations. There is thus an urgent need to effectively implement an integrated national telehealth system to address sociocultural issues and strengthen the competencies of human resources in telehealth and digital health in Peru.

“…En el contexto de pandemia, la atención primaria en salud mental en el Perú representa un espacio necesario e indispensable para garantizar que las personas puedan trabajar los malestares de la vida cotidiana y sostener las distintas secuelas de ansiedad, estrés, depresión y tristeza presentes en la población (MINSA, 2020;Alva-Arroyo et al, 2021). Esta no es solo una realidad para quien solicita el apoyo psicológico, sino también para las personas entrenadas en el acompañamiento, por lo que dicho contexto genera desafíos éticos dadas las condiciones de vulnerabilidad en las que se encuentran ambas personas durante las sesiones de consejería (Merma, 2019;Alva-Arroyo et al, 2021;Gonzáles, 2021).…”

En el Perú, la descentralización de los servicios de atención en salud mental y la priorización de sus recursos en el nivel primario representan acciones principales para el desarrollo de la salud mental en el país. Sin embargo, las barreras socioculturales y económicas que aún persisten en la población dificultan su acceso a dichos servicios, situación que se ha agudizado durante el contexto de pandemia por COVID-19. El presente artículo busca analizar las experiencias de atención primaria en salud mental en acompañantes de un centro de consejería de Lima Metropolitana durante los años 2020 y 2021. Mediante un análisis narrativo, los resultados mostraron que la pandemia ha exacerbado vulnerabilidades psicológicas, sociales y materiales tanto para acompañantes como usuarios, rescatándose la necesidad de sostener procesos de capacitación y supervisión grupal constantes que garanticen el autocuidado y cuidado de los equipos, así como la calidad de la atención brindada.

Background: The objective of this study was to determine the association between health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in adults in Metropolitan Lima, Peru, with experienced social isolation during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic regardless of if the person was infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) adjusted by age, sex and body mass index (BMI). Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated 256 men and 382 women living in Metropolitan Lima, who were administered the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) questionnaire (SF-20) virtually to assess their health-related quality of life. Results: Obesity (beta coefficient, 95%CI [95% confidence interval]: -262 – -116), female sex (beta coefficient, 95%CI: -151 – -59), the longest time of mandatory social confinement (beta coefficient, 95%CI: -6.8 – -0.2), and the existence of chronic disease (beta coefficient, 95%CI: -147 – -44) were associated with a low total score of the HRQoL questionnaire. Conclusions: Mandatory social confinement may have harmed the perception of health-related quality of life.
