Project Details
Description
The disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has resulted in 234,073 confirmed cases worldwide and 9,840 deaths just ten days after the WHO declared it a pandemic. Health workers are on the front line of any response to the outbreak and are therefore exposed to multiple psychosocial risks. A study is proposed to determine the prevalence of mental health problems (depression, anxiety, professional burnout, perceived stigma, consumption and withdrawal of psychoactive substances, and suicidal ideation) in health workers exposed to the COVID-1 pandemic.
Keywords
To estimate the prevalence of mental health problems, such as: depressive symptoms, anxious symptoms, suicidal ideation, burnout, perceived stigma, and substance use and withdrawal, in the Colombian population exposed to the COVID-19 pandemic.
