Resumen
En enero de 2020, los científicos en China lograron aislar un nuevo virus que causa la enfermedad por coronavirus 2019 (COVID-2019). El 30 de enero, la Organización Mundial de la Salud, declaró una emergencia pública. En marzo, las autoridades sanitarias mexicanas anunciaron la Jornada Nacional de Sana Distancia (JNSD). Esta nueva campaña, pide que los residentes en México se queden en casa durante esta etapa para detener los contagios. El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar los niveles de ansiedad y percepción de riesgo de contagio durante seis semanas de seguimiento durante la JNSD relacionada ala epidemia de COVID-19 entre mexicanos. El estudio fue empírico, exploratorio y longitudinal. 27 participantes entre 18 y 59 años respondieron dos instrumentos (M=35.4, SD=11.6). Se enviaron dos instrumentos por email para evaluar los niveles de ansiedad y percepción de riesgo de contagio durante seis semanas. Los resultados indicaron que los niveles de ansiedad fueron leves durante las seis semanas. Asimismo, los resultados en la segunda encuesta indicaron que la percepción de riesgo de contagio fue moderada. Los dos resultados en promedio presentaron una correlación positiva moderada (r=72). Se desarrollaron seis hipótesis que pueden explicar los resultados de acuerdo con los siguientes temas: contenido sobre carga de la información, proceso de adaptación, percepción social de riesgo, conductas preventivas y efectos positivos y negativos de estar socialmente distanciado
In January 2020, Chinese scientists isolated a novel virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). On January 30th, The World Health Organization declared a Public Health Emergency. In March, Mexican Health Authorities announced the National Healthy Distance Campaign. This novel policy encourages residents of Mexico to stay at home during the social distancing stage to prevent the spread of the virus.The aim of this study was to evaluate the anxiety and the perception of risk of contagion through six weeks of follow-up during the National Healthy Distance Campaign in Mexico related to the COVID-19 epidemic. This study was empirical, exploratory and longitudinal. 27 Mexican people participated in the study, aged 18-59 years (M=35.4, SD=11.6). Two contextualized instruments were sent by email to participants to evaluate the anxiety levels and perception of risk of contagion for six weeks. Results indicate that anxiety levels were mild trough six weeks of follow-up. Likewise, results in the second survey indicate that perception of risk of contagion levels were moderate. For further studies on this subject, six hypotheses were developed regarding the following topics: content information and information overload, adaptation process, social perception of risk, preventive behaviors, and positive and negative effects of being social distanced.
