Quality of life and mental health after isolating measures established during the Covid-19 pandemic

ABSTRACT

Quality of life is a construct of significant relevance for the general population and must be studied in a multidimensional way particularly during a pandemic or endemic. The objective of this study was to assess quality of life levels and its relationship with anxiety, depression, and stress for a population living through the Covid-19 endemic. Methodologically, this is a descriptive and cross-sectional study evaluating 384 people over 18 years old. The study applied the WHOQOL-BREF and the abbreviated DASS-21 tests to assess quality of life and emotional symptoms. Result(s) participants reported an adequate perception of quality of life and mild emotional systems. Likewise, the study observed correlation between the variables analyzed (-0.72 and-0.95).Copyright © 2022, Venezuelan Society of Pharmacology and Clinical and Therapeutic Pharmacology.
