Resumen

ESPINOSA FERRO, Yairelys et al. A Study about the Psychological Impact of COVID-19 in Medical Sciences Student from Los Palacios. Rev Cubana Salud Pública [online]. 2020, vol.46, suppl.1, e2659.  Epub 20-Nov-2020. ISSN 0864-3466.

Introduction:

In these pandemic times due to COVID-19, an unprecedented situation must be confronted in our society, a scenario where, apart from having to confront the direct effects of the virus, such as the symptoms of the disease, the fear of contagion and the concern for our loved ones, we must also deal with quarantine measures to stop the pandemic.

Objective:

To describe the psychological impact of COVID-19 on medical sciences students.

Methods:

A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out from April to July 2020. The population consisted of 73 students and the sample was made up of 63 students who carried out active screening in the urban area of Los Palacios. They were applied the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and the scale for assessing their stress level.

Results:

79.4% of the students maintained a resilient behavior, while only 20.6% showed low resilience levels. 33.3% maintained normal stress levels, while 6.7% of the students presented stress.

Conclusions:

Students have been crucial in the confrontation and eradication of epidemic spread, since the time when they stepped forward to assume the task unconditionally. However, this situation had a psychological impact on them, so most of them show stress levels and low scores in the dimensions of resilience, pressure under control, and spirituality.

Palabras clave : COVID-19; psychological impact; students; stress; resilience.
