“…This contains questions created for the present study, based on the literature [43][44][45], that assess the number and types of COVID-19 stressors. Participants were asked to identify all 11 COVID-19 stressors they had experienced since the onset of the pandemic (e.g., "I have tested positive for COVID-19") and then to indicate the most stressful event they had experienced and the time elapsed since it occurred.…”

The effects of the pandemic on mental health can be studied through different variables, such as the number of COVID-19 stressors, the stressor types, and the stress responses. Understanding the sources of mental strain is crucial for developing effective interventions. The present study analyzed the relationship between these COVID-19-related variables and positive and negative mental health. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 666 individuals from the Portuguese general population, mostly females (65.5%) between 16–93 years old. They completed self-report measures regarding the number of COVID-19 stressors, the stressor types, the stress responses (IES-R), and positive (MHC-SF) and negative mental health (BSI-18). The results demonstrated that a higher number of COVID-19-experienced stressors and more stress responses were related to worse mental health. Regarding stressor types, experiences not related to the COVID-19 infection (e.g., tension at home) presented the largest effects on mental health. The strongest predictor was the stress responses for negative (β = 0.50) and positive mental health (β = −0.17). The predictors explained more about negative mental health than positive. These findings support the idea that individual appraisals play a crucial role in mental health.

“…The pandemic started at the end of 2019, in China, so at this time there is already some literature about the psychological consequences of this period.

A pesar de ser una condición global, la pandemia del COVID-19, tiene impactos diferenciales, manifestados en diferente número de casos, muertes, información, cuestiones políticas y culturales. Resumimos la literatura relacionada con la pandemia de COVID-19 en los países de habla portuguesa. El objetivo de nuestra revisión fue: 1) resumir la investigación que informó la prevalencia de síntomas de ansiedad, depresión, trastorno postraumático y otros indicadores de impacto psicológico en la población general de países de habla portuguesa, en particular Portugal y Brasil; 2) centrarse en las experiencias relacionadas con COVID-19 que pueden asociarse con problemas psicológicos; 3) reflexionar sobre los factores de riesgo y protección que pueden estar asociados con la angustia psicológica; y 4) presentar algunas reflexiones sobre procesos psicológicos que pueden explicar la asociación entre pandemia y salud mental.

A pandemia de COVID-19 impactou os pilares políticos, econômicos, sanitários e culturais da sociedade, exigindo estratégias de adaptação à doença, entre elas o cuidado aos impactos psicológicos emergidos neste cenário. Este estudo consistiu em uma pesquisa interventiva qualitativa, com foco em estudantes universitários, que analisou a implementação e os resultados de uma intervenção grupal, bem como os efeitos da pandemia na saúde mental. Participaram 20 universitários e três mediadoras vinculadas ao curso de Psicologia e foram realizados sete encontros semanais de uma hora e trinta minutos cada. As fontes de dados foram compostas por um questionário sociodemográfico, um questionário de avaliação da saúde mental inicial e final e um protocolo de avaliação do processo grupal. Foi realizada análise temática dos dados, revelando impactos importantes na saúde mental, em aspectos como sono, ansiedade e rotina, bem como a potencialidade do grupo para acolher o sofrimento psíquico. Diversas estratégias potencializaram a escuta em contexto on-line, bem como fortaleceram o vínculo grupal e as redes de apoio dos participantes. Conclui-se pela necessidade de aperfeiçoar estratégias de atendimento grupal para situações de urgência e emergência e para contextos online.
