Resilience in the lockdown and pandemic of COVID-19

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing measures have had a negative impact on mental health. The main objective is to study the role of resilience as a protective factor, against the impact of the pandemic and the confinement of COVID-19. The sample consisted of 179 participants with a mean age of 40.85 years (SD = 13.7). The analyzes indicate that resilience is highly predictive of psychological well-being and mood and is a protective factor against post-traumatic stress. To a lesser extent for the ease of carrying the pandemic, which may be mediated by other factors. The effects of the pandemic and confinement appear to have significantly increased post-traumatic stress symptoms. Women have more post-traumatic stress and less psychological well-being. The age group most affected is that of young people (18-25 years).
