“Introducción: Durante la pandemia de la covid-19 los servicios de salud mental no pudieron darse abasto debido a la gran demanda, por lo cual, muchas personas optaron por buscar información por Internet que las pudiera ayudar a sobrellevar el proceso psicológico que estaban experimentando en ese momento. Objetivo: Caracterizar la tendencia mundial de búsqueda del término «psiquiatría» en el contexto de covid-19 mediante Google Trends y Our World in Data. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo-transversal sobre las tendencias mundiales de búsquedas de información sobre psiquiatría en el contexto de la covid-19 bajo los términos «psiquiatría», «depresión», «ansiedad», «estrés», «insomnio» y «suicidio» en la categoría de salud en el periodo del 2020-2021. Se generaron gráficos temporales. Resultados: El término «psiquiatría» se mantuvo con un volumen relativo de búsqueda elevado y constante (entre 60 y 90), con una búsqueda importante y paulatina en el mes de abril. El volumen relativo de búsquedas de «depresión», «ansiedad» y «estrés» se mantuvieron constantes con ciertas fluctuaciones no significativas a lo largo del periodo 2020-2021. El término «insomnio» tuvo una predominancia entre enero y junio del 2020, fue decayendo poco a poco desde abril y se mantuvo constante hasta octubre del 2021.

(Frontiers Media SA, 2023-07-20) Mejia, Christian R.; Alvarez-Risco, Aldo; Chamorro-Espinoza, Scherlli; Yáñez, Jaime A.; Del-Aguila-Arcentales, Shyla; Castillón-Lozano, Jorge Andrés; Serna-Alarcón, Victor; Vilela-Estrada, Martin A.; Armada, José; Padilla, Valeria J.; Paucar, Medally C.
“Sustainability may be at risk in a population that has altered health, according to Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3): Health and well-being. The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine could jeopardize SDG 3, specifically the mental health of the population. The present study sought to determine the association between severe anxiety, depression and stress in population of 13 Latin American countries according to fear about the war conflict. It was a crosssectional, analytical and multicenter study. Anxiety, depression and stress were measured with the DASS-21 test (Cronbach’s Alpha: 0.97) and fear due to an armed crisis with a questionnaire already validated in Latin America (Cronbach’s Alpha: 0.92), which was also adjusted for sex, age, education level and country of residence. Descriptive and analytical statistics were obtained. Of the 2,626 respondents, the main fear was that weapons of mass destruction would be used. In the multivariate models, strong associations were found between fear of a possible world-scale armed conflict and having severe or very severe levels of anxiety (aPR: 1.97; 95% CI: 1.64–2.36; value of p <0.001), depression (aPR: 1.91; 95% CI: 1.54–2.36; value of p <0.001) or stress (aPR: 2.05; 95% CI: 1.63–2.57; value of p <0.001). Sustainability linked to SDG 3, specifically mental health, is affected by this type of significant events, given the possible global war crisis that could trigger major events, even more so if added to the deterioration already experienced by COVID-19 in the Latin American region, insecurity and constant political uncertainty“

“Introduction: The mental health of the population has been affected by COVID-19, reporting in many populations higher levels of depressive, anxious and stress symptoms, however, in Honduras there are no studies showing the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of the population. Aim: To determine the factors associated with hopelessness, depression and anxiety in times of COVID-19 in the Honduran population. Methods: Cross-sectional analytical study. Three scales were used, Beck for hopelessness, Hamilton for depression and anxiety, through interviews with the population attending different levels of health care throughout the country. Descriptive and analytical statistics were obtained. For hopelessness, the Beck Hopelessness Scale was used; for depression and anxiety, the Hamilton Scale was used. Results: Of the 8,125 participants, the population in general showed results of hopelessness 14.9%, depression 12.9% and anxiety 1.2%, there was less hopelessness among women (p = 0.004), university students (p < 0.001), but greater among those who had a family member deceased by COVID-19 (p < 0.001), among those who had diabetes mellitus (DM) (p < 0.001), history of mental illness (p < 0.001) or had consumed drugs in the last 6 months (p < 0.001). There was more depression among those with arterial hypertension (p = 0.002), obesity (p = 0.019), DM (p = 0.004), history of mental illness (p < 0.001) or had consumed drugs in the last 6 months (p < 0.001). There was more anxiety among those infected with COVID-19 (p = 0.023), according to having a family member deceased by COVID-19 (p = 0.045) and in those with a history of mental illness (p < 0.001). Discussion: The Honduran population presented important differences in the socio-pathological, according to the loss of family members or having previous illnesses, this according to the presentation of problems in the mental sphere. Conclusion: We found factors associated with hopelessness, we found factors associated with hopelessness, depression and anxiety in times of COVID-19 in the Honduran population“

Stress, Depression and/or Anxiety According to the Death by COVID-19 of a Family Member or Friend in Health Sciences Students in Latin America during the First Wave
(MDPI, 2022-11-22) Mejia, Christian R.; Alvarez-Risco, Aldo; Mejía, Yaniré M.; Quispe, Susan C.; Del-Aguila-Arcentales, Shyla; Serna Alarcón, Víctor; Vilela-Estrada, Martín A.; Armada, José; Yáñez, Jaime A.
The COVID-19 pandemic generated high mortality in various countries, which may have had an impact on the mental health of young people. The objective of the study was to evaluate whether the death of a family member or close friend due to COVID-19 generated a higher prevalence of depression, anxiety, or moderate/severe stress in university health sciences students in Latin America. This is an analytical cross-sectional study, with secondary data; depression, anxiety, and stress were measured with a validated survey. In addition, data were obtained on the deaths by COVID-19 of family members or close friends, illness and other socio-economic variables. Descriptive and analytical statistics were obtained. It was found that, of the 3304 students, 5.9% (190) had a close relative who had died, 11.2% (363) a distant relative, and 19.8% (641) a friend. According to the multivariate analysis, those students who had a close family member who had died had greater depression (RPa: 1.48; CI 95%: 1.20–1.84; value p < 0.001) and stress (RPa: 1.41; CI 95%: 1.11–1.79; p value = 0.005), in addition, those who had a friend who died had higher levels of anxiety (RPa: 1.20; 95% CI: 1.06–1.36; p value =0.005); also, the respondents who suffered from COVID-19 had greater depression (RPa: 1.49; CI 95%: 1.05–2.11; value p = 0.024) and stress (RPa: 1.55; CI 95%: 1.05–2.28, p-value = 0.028). An association was found between suffering from depression, anxiety, or stress, and having suffered the death of a family member or close friend from COVID-19. This finding is an important one for places of education to consider, suggesting a need to generate psychological support programs for students who have lost a loved one during the pandemic, since this could have academic and social repercussions. An association was found between the three mental illnesses studied and the death of a family member or close friend from COVID-19.
