Resumen

La COVID-19 es la enfermedad infecciosa causada por el coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) que se ha estado extendiendo por todo el mundo y ha llevado a una reacción pública masiva. El conocimiento y la actitud hacia las medidas de prevención son esenciales para el control de la infección pandémica.  Las pandemias pueden contribuir a aumentar los niveles de estrés, y la ansiedad es una reacción natural a cualquier situación estresante. Este estudio tenía por objeto evaluar los conocimientos, actitudes, ansiedad y percepción de la atención de salud mental entre la población brasileña del estado de Goiás durante la pandemia COVID-19. Se realizó una encuesta en línea y se recibió un total de 251 respuestas. Los participantes eran mayores de 18 años, con un promedio de 33,95. Los participantes demostraron un nivel moderado de conocimiento sobre la infección por COVID-19 y sus aspectos preventivos, con más del 92% de la convicción de que la distancia social es esencial para detener la propagación del virus y el 93,2% de la misma aceptó someterse a cuarentena o aislarse si presentaban síntomas. Las dificultades de sueño y la angustia relacionada con las medias sociales fueron reportadas en 20,8% y el 48,6% de los participantes, respectivamente. La mayoría estuvo de acuerdo en la necesidad de atención de la salud mental y de la asistencia de los profesionales durante la pandemia. Nuestros resultados reflejan la necesidad de crear conciencia y debatir los problemas de salud mental de las personas y resaltan la urgente necesidad de que el gobierno y las asociaciones profesionales estén preparados para enfrentar a los efectos psicológicos de la pandemia.
