Resumen

Introducción. Este estudio examinó la relación entre el apoyo social percibido, la calidad del sueño y la ansiedad entre los empleados de centros seleccionados para el diagnóstico y tratamiento de pacientes con COVID-19. Métodos. Este estudio transversal descriptivo-analítico incluyó a todos los empleados de centros de diagnóstico y tratamiento de COVID-19 activos durante 24 horas que cumplieron los criterios de inclusión, mediante muestreo por conveniencia. Los datos se recabaron mediante un cuestionario. Debido a la distribución anormal de los datos, se utilizaron pruebas no paramétricas, como la correlación de Spearman, la de Mann-Whitney y la de Kruskal -Wallis. El análisis de datos se realizó con el programa SPSS (versión 22). Resultados La mayoría de los participantes fueron mujeres (83.5 %, n = 101), con licenciatura (84.3 %, n = 102) y sin antecedentes de COVID-19 (59.5 %, n = 72). Se encontraron correlaciones significativas entre la ansiedad por COVID-19 y la calidad del sueño (p = 0.001, r = -0.817), la ansiedad por COVID-19 y el apoyo social percibido (p = 0.002, r = -0.278), y entre la calidad del sueño y el apoyo social percibido (p = 0.002, r = -0.273). Conclusión. Los hallazgos sugieren que el aumento de la ansiedad relacionada con el COVID-19, la mala calidad del sueño y la reducción del apoyo social percibido entre los trabajadores de la salud pudieron afectar negativamente su salud mental.
