RESUMEN

INTRODUCCIÓN:

El nuevo coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, con su respectiva enfermedad, COVID-19, es la razón de la pandemia declarada el 11 de marzo 2020 por la Organización Mundial de la Salud. En Chile, hasta el 1° de mayo 2020, se tenía un total de 17.008 contagiados y 234 fallecidos por COVID-19. Sin embargo, esta cifra varía de región en región del mismo país. Además, cada una de ellas, ya era distinta antes de la pandemia, por sus características psicosociales.

OBJETIVO:

determinar la correlación entre características psicosociodemográficas con la tasa de mortalidad y letalidad por COVID-19 según región chilena durante marzo y abril 2020.

METODOLOGÍA:

Se realizó un estudio correlacional; la población y muestra correspondió a la población chilena proyectada para 2020 según Censo chileno 2017; se utilizó como fuente las bases de datos ministeriales chilenas; se tabularon y analizaron los datos calculando coeficiente de correlación de Pearson mediante Microsoft Excel® y XLSTAT®.

Resultados:

destacó que la variable con mayor correlación con la tasa de mortalidad fue el ingreso medio mensual de ocupados con coeficiente correlacional de 0,430; y con letalidad, fue la incidencia de pobreza en la población con coeficiente correlacional de 0,468.

DISCUSIÓN:

Es importante seguir investigando sobre determinantes sociales que inciden en la pandemia, tanto en contagiados como fallecidos, para finalmente poder establecer relaciones significativas y focalizar, tanto medidas de promoción de salud y prevención de COVID-19, como medidas de apoyo y protección psicosocial
ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

The newly discovered coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, with its respective disease, COVID-19, is the cause of the pandemic that was declared on March 11, 2020, by the World Health Organization. On May 1st 2020, Chile exhibited a total of 17.004 confirmed cases and 234 deaths for COVID-19. However, these rates differ from one region of the country to another. Furthermore, due to their psychosocial characteristics, each region was already different before the pandemic.

OBJECTIVE:

This study aims to determine the correlation between psycho-socio-demographic variables and COVID-19's mortality and case fatality rate, for each chilean region, during March and April 2020.

METHODOLOGY:

A correlational study was carried out. The sample corresponded to the projected Chilean population of 2020, based on the 2017 Chilean Census. The sources of data were the Chilean ministerial databases. Through the use of Microsoft Excel® and XLSTAT®, this data was tabulated, analyzed, and then employed to calculate Pearson's correlation coefficient.

RESULTS:

One main find was that the average monthly income of the employed presented the highest correlation with the mortality rate, mounting to a correlation coefficient of 0,430. Regarding the case fatality rate, the most significant correlation was exhibited by the incidence of poverty in the population, with a correlation coefficient of 0,468.

DISCUSSION:

It is important to continue investigating about social determinants that affect the pandemic, regarding both infected and deceased people, in order to establish significant relationships that will help focalize health promotion and COVID-19 prevention efforts, as well as psychosocial support and protection measures.
