Abstract

Summary: Introduction: Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the health has been affected, not only physically, but also mentally, of workers and the general population, evidenced by an increase in cases of dysfunctional anxiety. Objective: To evaluate the impact of Covid-19 on the mental health of Ecuadorian workers during the year 2021. Methods: The coronavirus anxiety scale (CAS) was used, which has an αs> .90, and a solid validity factorial demonstrated by several authors. In turn, CAS has diagnostic properties (90% sensitivity and 85% specificity). Results: The results obtained show that women and young workers aged 25 to 34 years have a greater probability of developing dysfunctional anxiety or other psychological disorders such as depression 16 - 24 years OR ± 1.08 with C.I. ± (0.18 - 6.46); 25 to 34 OR ± 1.10 with I.C. ± (0.41 - 2.93); 44 to 52 OR ± 0.59 with I.C. ± (0.18 - 1.95), Conclusions: Promoting mental health in workers is imperative based on the results of this study since in this way it will be possible to strengthen the health system and reduce the negative impact on mental health that Covid -19 is provoking the population under study.
