La ansiedad en deportistas universitarios durante la cuarentena por COVID-19 / Ansiedade nos atletas universitários durante a quarentena pela COVID-19 / Anxiety andcollege athletesduring the quarentine for COVID-19

RESUMEN

Un nuevo virus denominado COVID-19, comenzó a esparcirse en Wuhan (China) desde finales del 2019, y ahora se encuentra por todo el mundo. Este virus, además de aumentar el riesgo de muerte por infección, también aumenta la presión psicológica en la humanidad. Se tomaron muestras de estudiantes universitarios de las diferentes facultades de la UANL, mediante el uso de muestreo conglomerados, los cuales respondieron a una batería de cuestionarios que incluía la Escala de Trastorno de Ansiedad Generalizada conformada de 7 ítems (GAD-7). Se recibieron 1,658 respuestas. Los resultados indicaron que el 0,6% de los encuestados experimentaron ansiedad severa, el 1.8% ansiedad moderada y 12,1% ansiedad ligera. Asimismo, los factores Viviendo en Áreas Urbanas (RM = 0.818, IC 95% = 0.702 –0.914), Estabilidad de Ingresos Familiares (RM = 0.723, IC 95% = 0.633 –0.807) y Viviendo con Padres (RM = 0.752, IC 95% = 0.585 –0.952) fueron protectores contra la ansiedad. Practicar un deporte colectivo fue un factor de riesgo para la ansiedad. Según el estudio se sugiere que la salud mental de los deportistas sea controlada durante la contingencia provocada por la epidemia del COVID-19. (AU)

ABSTRACT

A new virus called COVID-19, began to spread in Wuhan (China) since the end of 2019, and is now found all over the world. This virus, in addition to increasing the risk of death from infection, also increases psychological pressure on humanity. Samples were taken from college students from the different UANL faculties, using cluster sampling, which responded to a battery of questionnaires that included the 7-ítem Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) and those asking about the basic information of participants. We received 1,658 responses. 1,658 responses were received. The results indicated that 0.6% of the respondents experienced severe anxiety, 1.8% moderate anxiety, and 12.1% mild anxiety. Likewise, the factors Living in Urban Areas (OR = 0.818, 95% CI = 0.702 -0.914), Stability of Family Income (OR = 0.723, 95% CI = 0.633 -0.807) and Living with Parents (OR = 0.752, 95 CI % = 0.585 -0.952) were protective against anxiety. Practicing a team sport was a risk factor for anxiety. According to the study, it is suggested that sports students' mental health be monitored during the contingency caused by the COVID-19 epidemic (AU)
