Resumen
NUNEZ ZARAZU, Llerme et al. The mental health of nurses in an Andean hospital in times of COVID-19. Vive Rev. Salud [online]. 2021, vol.4, n.11, pp.130-140. ISSN 2664-3243. https://doi.org/10.33996/revistavive.v4i11.91.
The objective of the research was to compare the mental health of nurses working in the COVID-19 area with respect to other work areas in a public hospital in Huaraz.
Materials and Methods.
It was descriptive, cross-sectional and correlational. The purposive sample consisted of 110 nursing professionals who agreed to answer the DASS-21 and Athens Scale online questionnaire.
The results
showed no significant difference in the levels of anxiety, insomnia, depression and stress in nurses working in patient care areas with COVID-19 and others. Depression was associated with living with vulnerable people at home and positive diagnosis of mental health illnesses before the pandemic. Anxiety was associated with living with family members, the practice of a religion, and a positive personal diagnosis of COVID-19. Stress was associated with psychotropic drug use.
Conclusions
. The results indicate that mental health interventions are needed for nurses working throughout the hospital in the context of the coronavirus pandemic.
