“…A lower level of education was associated with perceived threat from COVID-19, perhaps related to access to sources of information and to understanding based on previous knowledge [ 47 , 48 , 50 ]. Thus, a higher level of education would be associated with a greater critical capacity of information consumed and processed and the tendency to seek other sources of information to corroborate or refute information acquired [ 51 ].…”

“…A large number of scientific publications have focused on analysis and identification of epidemiological and clinical characteristics of infected patients, genome identification and morphology of the virus and situations related to the logistics and political and healthcare policy decision-making [ 5 , 32 , 46 ]. The the psychological state of the Spanish population has not yet been defined, although there are such studies on specific groups in the Spanish population, like nurses [ 47 ] or university students [ 48 ].…”

One of the first measures for fighting the worldwide spread of the COVID-19 pandemic is social isolation or quarantine. The perceived threat from COVID-19 in this situation, maintained over time, generates uncertainty and fears, etc., which could lead to mental disorders in the population. This study evaluated the perceived threat from COVID-19 in the Spanish population. The study design was cross-sectional and observational. The sample of 1014 participants recruited in Spain had a mean age of 40.87 (SD = 12.42). The gender distribution was 67.2% (n = 681) women and 32.8% (n = 333) men. Data were collected with an online survey. The instrument used was the Perception of Threat from COVID-19 Questionnaire, validated for the Spanish population. Our data showed a clear correlation between perceived threat with female gender, having children in one’s care and level of education. However, no association was observed with age or marital status. Finally, we concluded that there is a greater perception of threat from COVID-19 by women with a lower education who have children in their care, and that they are also more sensitive to minor mental disorders, such as anxiety or stress, appearing.

“…Fourteen studies identified specific coping mechanisms employed by HCWs during the pandemic (Blanco-Donoso et al ., 2020; Cai, 2020; Chen et al ., 2020; Chew et al ., 2020; Dong et al ., 2020; Giusti et al ., 2020; Labrague & De los Santos, 2020; Maraqa et al ., 2020; Mi et al ., 2020; Nie et al., 2020; Salman et al, 2020; Shechter et al ., 2020; Vagni et al ., 2020; Xiao et al ., 2020). During the pandemic, HCWs utilized both negative and positive coping styles to manage stress.…”

“…Earlier studies conducted during other infectious disease outbreaks such as SARS, Ebola, and MERS-CoV identified a protective role for psychological resilience, coping behaviours, and social support in HCWs against the psychological and mental health burden of caring for infected patients (Bloom et al ., Baduge et al ., 2018). Meanwhile, studies conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic have shown a similar pattern: psychological resilience, coping behaviours, and social support safeguard mental health and well-being among healthcare workers who are on the frontlines of the fights against this deadly virus (Labrague & De los Santos, 2020; Blanco-Donoso et al ., 2020; Chew et al ., 2020).…”

Background: A wide range of evidence has shown that healthcare workers, currently on the frontlines in the fight against COVID-19, are not spared from the psychological and mental health-related consequences of the pandemic. Studies synthesizing the role of coping behaviours, psychological resilience, and social support in safeguarding the mental health of HCWs during the pandemic is largely unknown. Aim (s): To appraise and synthesize studies examining psychological resilience, coping behaviours, and social support among healthcare workers (HWCs) during the coronavirus pandemic. Design: This is a systematic review with a narrative synthesis. Method: Using articles from PubMed, CINAHL, SCOPUS, MEDLINE and PsychINFO, a total of 31 articles were included in the review. Reporting followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses statement guidelines. Results: Healthcare workers were found to have moderate to high levels of psychological resilience and utilized both problem-centred coping (e.g., use of social support, praying) and emotion-centred coping (e.g., use of diversionary activities) to manage the stress-associated with the coronavirus pandemic. Coping behaviours, psychological resilience, and social support were associated with positive mental and psychological health outcomes. Conclusion: Substantial evidence supports the effectiveness of coping behaviours, psychological resilience, and social support to preserve psychological and mental health among HCWs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Relevance to Practice: In order to safeguard the mental health and well-being of HCWs during the pandemic, hospital and nursing administrators should focus on building coping skills, psychological resilience, and social support in HWCs through innovative and theory-based interventions, supportive leadership, and fostering a resilient work environment.

“…Furthermore, it is not clear what the process to define the model presented was. For example, it is not justified because the fear of COVID-19 and stress are not related, and studies have identified a strong relationship between both variables [40,41].…”

Background: This study has two aims. First, determine the fit of the fear model to COVID-19, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress in the general population and health-care workers. Second, determine which model best explains the relationship between depression and the triad of fear, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress in both groups. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted using self-reported questionnaires for anxiety, fear of COVID-19, depression, and post-traumatic stress. Information was collected from adults living in Lima, the capital and the most populous city in Peru. The explanatory models were evaluated using a structural regression model.Results: A high overall prevalence of depressive symptoms (16%), anxiety (11.7%), and post-traumatic stress (14.9%) were identified. A higher prevalence of depressive, anxious, or stress symptoms was identified in the general population (28.6%) compared to health-care workers (17.9%). The triad model of fear of COVID-19, anxiety, and stress presented adequate goodness-of-fit indices for both groups. A model was identified that manages to explain depressive symptoms in more than 70% of the general population and health-care workers, based on the variables of the triad (CFI=0.94; TLI=0.94; RMSEA=0.06; SRMR=0.06). Limitations: The prevalence estimates relied on self-reported information. Other variables of interest, such as intolerance to uncertainty or income level, could not be evaluated. Conclusions: Our study proposes and tests one model that explains more than 70% of depressive symptoms. This explanatory model can be used in health contexts and populations to determine how emotional factors can affect depressive symptoms. Keywords: Depression, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, fear of COVID-19, Peru
