Resumen

Introducción
Con el advenimiento de la pandemia por COVID-19 surgieron diferentes acontecimientos a nivel mundial, entre ellos la afectación de la salud mental del personal sanitario. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la asociación entre variables sociodemográficas, clínicas, de consumo de tabaco y alcohol y miedo a la COVID-19 con la aparición de síntomas de depresión en una institución prestadora de servicios de salud (IPS), en Bogotá DC, en 2022.

Material y métodos
Estudio transversal analítico. Se exploraron variables sociodemográficas, clínicas, consumo de alcohol, tabaco y miedo a la COVID-19. La presencia y la gravedad de los síntomas depresivos se evaluaron con la escala PHQ-9, se realizó un análisis descriptivo de las variables independientes, se realizaron pruebas de chi cuadrado y se consideró un valor p < 0,05 como estadísticamente significativo. Las variables que resultaron estadísticamente significativas fueron ingresadas a un modelo de regresión logística con «síntomas depresivos» como variable dependiente.

Resultados
Se incluyeron 597 personas (80% mujeres), con una edad mediana de 34 años (RIC: 28-41). La prevalencia de síntomas depresivos fue del 12,4% (IC 95%: 9,74-15,05). El análisis multivariado mostró que los factores que mejor explicaron la presencia de síntomas depresivos fueron: miedo a la COVID-19, consumo de tabaco, edad menor a 28 años, estrato socioeconómico medio.

Conclusiones
A dos años de que la COVID-19 fuera declarada una pandemia, la prevalencia de síntomas depresivos es del 12,4%. Se requiere implementar estrategias en pro de la salud mental de los profesionales sanitarios.
