RESUMEN
Introducción. La pandemia del COVID-19, originada en China, ha afectado a millones de personas en todo
el mundo y ha provocado diversos problemas como trastornos y enfermedades psicológicas. Todo esto ha
afectado la salud física y mental, la calidad de vida de las personas.
Objetivo. Analizar los niveles de estrés
durante el distanciamiento social debido al COVID-19 en función del género y conocer el efecto moderador
de la adaptabilidad a la situación.
Método. El estudio es de tipo transversal, cuantitativo y con alcance descriptivo-
correlacional. La muestra estuvo conformada por 1,173 sujetos (522 varones [44.5%] y 651 mujeres
[22.5%]) mexicanos con una media de 25.99 años de edad (DT = 11.19; rango = 12 – 77 años). Se midió la
adaptabilidad y el estrés percibido, y se obtuvieron fiabilidades adecuadas de los instrumentos utilizados.
Resultados. Los resultados indicaron que el nivel de estrés percibido es más alto cuanto mayor es la cantidad
de semanas en distanciamiento. Asimismo, cuanto mejor se adaptan las personas al distanciamiento
social, menos estrés se presenta. Por otra parte, las mujeres fueron las que presentaron niveles más altos
de estrés en comparación con los varones.
Discusión y conclusión. Los hallazgos destacan la importancia
que tiene la adaptabilidad a la situación estresante de la pandemia, debido a que el efecto del estrés marcado
en gran medida en las mujeres se pierde cuando el nivel de adaptabilidad ante el acontecimiento es alto.
