Abstract(s)
A pandemia da COVID-19 provocou alterações profundas na forma de
viver, individual e comunitária. Essas alterações, aliadas ao medo e incerteza
crescentes de infetar ou ser infetado e ao medo de perder emprego
ou rendimento decorrentes da imprevisibilidade na evolução da doença,
têm sido apontadas como potenciais fatores de risco para a saúde mental
(SM) e bem-estar psicológico (BE) das populações, em particular, para a
ansiedade, depressão, perturbação de stress pós-traumático e burnout.
Vários estudos identificaram os profissionais de saúde na linha da frente
e os indivíduos infetados como grupos de risco de sofrimento psicológico.
O projeto SM-COVID19 teve como principal objetivo caracterizar a
SM e o BE psicológico no contexto da pandemia, na população residente
em Portugal e, em particular, em grupos de risco acrescido. Este é um
estudo observacional transversal, com uma componente longitudinal,
com recolha de dados através de questionário online de base populacional.
Foram selecionados como outcomes a avaliar várias dimensões de
SM, nomeadamente BE psicológico, ansiedade, depressão, perturbação
de stress pós-traumático, burnout, presentismo e resiliência, assim como
determinantes de SM relevantes. No âmbito da divulgação e comunicação
do estudo foram criados diversos produtos. O SM-COVID19 representa
um contributo para o conhecimento sobre SM da população portuguesa
no contexto da pandemia. Os resultados obtidos constituem uma evidência
sólida para a elaboração de recomendações, visando mitigar os problemas
de SM identificados, bem como promover o BE psicológico em
tempos de pandemia.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought about profound changes in the way of life for the individual and for communities. These changes, combined with the growing fear and uncertainty of infecting or being infected and the fear of losing employment or income due to the unpredictability of the disease's evolution, have been identified as potential risk factors for mental health (MH) and psychological well-being (WB) of populations as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and burnout. Several studies have identified health professionals at the forefront of medical care and infected individuals as risk groups for psychological distress. The SM-COVID19 project aimed to characterize MH and psychological BE in the context of the pandemic of the population residing in Portugal particular of the groups at greatest risk. This is a cross-sectional observational study, with a longitudinal component, with data collection through a population-based online survey. The following outcomes were selected for assessment namely psychological WB, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, burnout, presentism and resilience, as well as relevant determinants of MS. As part of the dissemination and communication of the study, several products were created. SM-COVID19 represents a contribution to the knowledge about MH of the Portuguese population in the context of the pandemic. The results obtained constitute solid evidence for the elaboration of recommendations, aiming to mitigate the identified MH problems, as well as to promote psychological WB in times of pandemic.
