ABSTRACT
Objective. To determine the association of sociodemographic and clinical factors with mental health disorders during the COVID-19
pandemic.
Methodology. Analytical cross-sectional survey through the application of a questionnaire on sociodemographic and
clinical factors and the DESS-21 instrument in the beneficiary population of the Mexican Navy Secretariat during the COVID-19 pandemic
in 2022. Statistical analysis with Chi-square, Student's t, Mann-Whitney U, estimation of odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals.
Results. We included 339 individuals aged 37.3 ± 2.7 years, 172 (50.7%) females. Prevalence of mental health disorders was
35.7%, 240 (29.2%), 88 anxiety (26.0%) and 83 depression (24.5%). Odds ratio and 95% CI 0.62 (0.39-097) in health workers; singles
1.96 (1.22-3.12); unemployed 2.7 (1.58-4.59); with Soledad 6.7 (4.07-10.9); self-perception of good health 0.26 (0.09-0.78); fear of
getting sick 2.5 (1.56-3.98); family loss from COVID-19 4.85 (2.81-8.4); having COVID-19 3.22 (1.87-5.54); family with COVID-19 2.8
(1.19-6.56); alcoholism 2.1 (1.33-3.29) and use of anxiolytics 5.6 (1.96-15.9)
Conclusions. The prevalence of mental health disorders
during the COVID-19 pandemic was 35.7%; single or unjoined; feelings of loneliness, personal history of stress, anxiety and depression,
history of alcoholism and use of anxiolytics, as well as having fallen ill or a family member and having had family losses from
COVID-19 were associated as risk factors while being a health worker was a protective factor.
