Resumen

INTRODUCCIÓN: La pandemia del COVID-19 está impactando en múltiples niveles, uno de ellos es la forma de prestar los servicios de atención en salud mental. Se propuso un estudio con el fin de identificar los puntos de vista sobre el papel que debemos asumir como psiquiatras en el escenario de esta pandemia en Colombia.

MÉTODOS: Se desarrolló un estudio empleando una metodología tipo Delphi. Para la aplicación del instrumento se incluyeron tres tipos de psiquiatras: directores de programas académicos de psiquiatría, directores de instituciones de salud mental y médicos privados.

RESULTADOS: Se recogieron respuestas a lo largo de un mes (entre abril y mayo) de 24 participantes correspondientes a 14 médicos privados (58,3%), 6 directores de programas académicos (25,1%) y 4 directores de servicios de salud mental (16,6%). Los resultados, agrupados en torno al trabajo psiquiátrico, describen el impacto generado por la pandemia y el posible papel del especialista.

CONCLUSIONES: Se identificó consistencia en torno a la necesidad de brindar un abordaje diferencial de acuerdo a las vulnerabilidades de cada grupo de personas expuestas a la pandemia; así como la provisión remota de atención médica a través de la tecnología, muchas veces utilizando videoconferencias.
