dc.description.abstract | It is suspected that the information the population has about coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) determines both its preventive
measures and its effects on mental health. The internet and social media are the sources that have largely replaced the official and
traditional channels of information. The objective of this study is to analyse the influence of the sources used by the population in Peru
to obtain information on COVID-19 and its association with developing psychological distress (PD) and preventive measures against
contagion.
1699 questionnaires were analysed. A previously validated instrument adapted to Peru was used. Participants were questioned
about the information received regarding COVID-19, its sources, time of exposition, assessment, or beliefs about it. Mental health
was measured with the Goldberg General Health Questionnaire. Descriptive and bivariate analysis were performed, developing a
classification and regression tree for PD based on beliefs and information about the pandemic.
The most used source of information on COVID-19 in Peru was social media and this is associated with developing PD, both in the
general population and among health professionals. The quality of the information about treatments for COVID-19 is associated with PD in
the general population, whereas prognosis generates more distress among healthcare professionals. The biggest concern is transmitting
the virus to family members, close persons, or patients, with more confidence in health professionals than in the health system.
The health authorities should use the social media to transmit quality information about COVID-19 and, at the same time, to gather
in real time the opinions on the implemented preventive measures. For all, this it is necessary to have higher credibility in the
population to increase the confidence in the health system, looking at basic aspects for compliance with prevention measures and
improvement of mental health. | es |
