Abstract: This study aimed to assess the prevalence and variables related to perceived stress associated with the COVID-19 pandemic in a sample of Colombian adults using a designed online cross-sectional survey. Adults answered a version of the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) modified for COVID-19 (PSS-10-C), with Cronbach alpha equal to 0.86. In total, 406 individuals aged between 19 and 88 years (M = 43.9; SD = 12.4) agreed to participate in the survey: 61.8% were females, 90.6% had a university degree, 44.1% were health professionals, and 45.7% considered public health policies for preventing the spread of the disease inconsistent with scientific recommendations. PSS-10-C scores ranged from 0 to 36 (M = 16.5; SD = 7.3); 58 individuals (14.3%) scored for high perceived stress (cut-off point = 25). The inconsistency between policies and scientific evidence was significantly related to high perception of stress associated with COVID-19 (OR = 2.36; 95%CI: 1.32-4.20), after adjusting for gender. We concluded that the study group presented the prevalence of perceived stress associated with COVID-19 at high levels, arising from the inconsistent strategies developed by health authorities in view of scientific recommendations. Further researches must address the psychosocial aspects of epidemics.

Abstract

Latin American and the Caribbean is one of the regions in the world most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The World Bank conducted a series of High-Frequency Phone Surveys (HFPS) to assess the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the welfare of Latin American and Caribbean households. Between March and August 2020, the HFPS collected nationally representative information for thirteen countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Paraguay, and Peru.

Geographic coverage

National coverage

Analysis unit

Universe

Households with a landline or in which at least one member has a cell phone, and individuals 18 years of age or above who have an active cell phone number or a landline at home.

Kind of data

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

Sample is based on a dual frame of cell phone and landline numbers generated through a Random Digit Dialing (RDD) process. In the first phase, a large sample was selected in both frames, and then screened through an automated process to identify the active, eligible numbers. A smaller second-phase sample was selected from the active residential numbers from in the first-phase sample and was delivered to the country teams. See Sampling Design and Weighting document for more detail.

Mode of data collection

Computer Assisted Telephone Interview [cati]

Research instrument

Available in Spanish. The questionnaire for the first wave followed closely the World Bank’s HFPS Global Core Questionnaire but had some critical variations. There were also some modifications in the subsequent waves.

The Colombia COVID-19 High Frequency Phone Survey questionnaires consist of the following sections: • Cover Page (Wave 1, 2, 3) • Basic Information (Wave 1, 2, 3) • Knowledge Regarding the Spread of COVID-19 (Wave 1) • Behaviour and Social Distancing (Wave 1, 2, 3) • Access to Basic Services (Wave 1, 2, 3) • Employment (Wave 1, 2, 3) • Income Loss (Wave 1, 3) • Food Security (Wave 1, 2, 3) • Concerns (Wave 1, 2, 3) • Coping Strategies (Wave 1, 3) • Social Safety Nets (Wave 1, 2, 3) • Trust (Wave 3)

As of April 2020, most of social media content in Colombia related to COVID-19 was published by male users, accounting for over ** percent of these posts, while female users were responsible for nearly ** percent of posts in relation to the coronavirus.
