Depression and anxiety in health human resources during the first Covid-19 wave in northern Peru
There is an urgent need for action to address the mental health of these professionals, who have played a critical role in pandemic response and care
Prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder in Peruvian military
We found that nearly one in ten military personnel presented PTSD. Factors associated with a higher prevalence included longer service time, smoking, insomnia, and fear of COVID-19. Although resilience showed a protective trend in crude analyses, this association was not significant after adjustment
Prevalence and factors associated with physical activity in adolescents from five secondary schools in northern Peru
The findings reveal a relatively low prevalence of active physical activity among adolescents. The positive association with resilience, family closeness, and mild anxious symptoms highlights the importance of strengthening protective factors to encourage physical activity in this vulnerable group. Conversely, the negative influence of family dysfunctionality, low self-esteem, and the impact of acne on quality of life underscores the need to addr…
Sleep quality and associated factors in Latin American medical students
It was found that 62.2% of students had poor sleep quality. Factors such as female sex, moderate risk of smoking, and depressive and anxious symptoms were associated with poor sleep quality, while COVID-19 training, history of the disease, and a high level of resilience were linked to better quality. These findings are key for public health, as poor sleep quality affects physical and mental health and academic performance, underscoring the import…
Prevalence and factors associated with fear of Covid-19 in military personnel during the second epidemic wave in Peru
Two out of ten military personnel were afraid of COVID-19. Our results highlight the need for targeted interventions addressing the factors contributing to fear of COVID-19 among military personnel, emphasizing the significance of mental health support and preventive measures within this specific population
Association between love breakup and suicidal ideation in Peruvian medical students
Our study provides evidence of a significant association between a major love breakup and suicidal ideation. This finding emphasizes the need for further research to better understand this association and inform the development of effective suicide prevention policies in medical education
Resilience, sleep quality and sleepiness in Peruvian medical students
4 out of 10 students presented high levels of resilience. The development of resilience depended on multiple individual and sociodemographic factors. These findings are important to support universities in developing resilience-building measures and strategies that can be implemented to mitigate the adverse pandemic event
Food insecurity in Piura, Peru, in the context of post-earthquake and the Covid-19 pandemic
Introduction: Piura, located in a seismic zone, faces challenges related to food security. The aim of this study was to analyze aspects related to food insecurity in the region following the 6.1-magnitude earthquake that occurred in 2021, within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A secondary analysis was performed in 177 people exposed to the earthquake in Piura. Food insecurity was assessed with the Household Food Insecurity Access S…
Association between childhood trauma and mental health disorders in adolescents during the second pandemic wave of Covid-19, Chiclayo-Peru
Schoolchildren exposed to childhood trauma are at increased risk for depressive and anxiety symptoms. Monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on adolescent mental health is vital. These findings can assist schools in establishing effective measures to prevent mental health outcomes
Depression, anxiety, and stress in medical students in Peru
Symptoms of depression and anxiety occurred in 7 out of 10 students, and stress in 6 out of 10. Among the factors associated with the presence of anxiety, depression, and stress were eating behavior disorder and not regularly exercising. Periodic evaluations of mental symptomatology are required and counseling should be promoted in medical schools
Prevalence and Factors Associated with Eating Disorders in Military First Line of Defense against Covid-19
Few studies have evaluated eating disorders in military personnel engaged in defense activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. We aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with eating disorders in military personnel from Lambayeque, Peru. A secondary data analysis was performed among 510 military personnel during the second epidemic wave of COVID-19 in Peru. We used the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) to assess eating disorders. We e…
Depression and anxiety in peruvian military personnel during the pandemic context
We found a prevalence of symptoms of depression and anxiety of 29.9% and 22.0%, respectively. In regard to the factors that attenuate depression, we can mention being married and having resilience; and among the aggravating factors, having a relative with mental health problems, food insecurity, insomnia, and fear of COVID-19. Finally, anxiety increased through working time, insomnia, and fear of COVID-19

Prevalence and Associated Factors of Depression, Anxiety, and Stress in University Students in Paraguay during the Covid-19 Pandemic
We aimed to determine the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress in university students in Paraguay during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 293 students from four universities in Paraguay in 2021. The DASS-21 mental health scale was used to measure the outcomes (depression, anxiety, and stress) and evaluate their association with socio-educational variables. A total of 77.1% of the participants were women …
Association between Working Time and Burnout Syndrome in Peruvian Military during the Second Epidemic Wave of Covid-19
There is scant evidence on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on burnout in front-line military personnel and how working time may influence on this condition. We aimed to determine the association between working time and Burnout syndrome in military personnel. A cross-sectional study was conducted using secondary data among 576 military personnel from Lambayeque, Peru during the second wave of COVID-19 in 2021. We used the Maslach Burnout Inve…
Suicide Risk in Military Personnel during the Covid-19 Health Emergency in a Peruvian Region
Military personnel represent a frontline group exposed to multiple stressors. These factors have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, predisposing to the development of suicidal risk (SR). Given the few studies conducted in this population, we evaluated the prevalence of SR and its associated factors during the health emergency. A cross-sectional survey study was conducted in person among 514 participants in Lambayeque, Peru in 2021. The outco…
Mental Disorders and Level of Resilience in Eight High-Altitude Cities of Peru during the Second Pandemic Wave
COVID-19 has led us to take preventive measures, such as social isolation, to reduce the high transmissibility of the disease. This could have affected the mental health of various population groups and the development of resilience as a mitigator. A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted with 700 participants from eight cities. The dependent variables were depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The independent va…
Factors Associated with Knowledge of Evacuation Routes and Having an Emergency Backpack in Individuals Affected by a Major Earthquake in Piura, Peru
Information on the prevention of earthquakes in Peru, a high-risk country, is still emerging. We determined the frequency and factors associated with knowledge of evacuation routes and the use of emergency backpacks in people affected by a major earthquake. A cross-sectional study using secondary data was conducted from August-December 2021 on people that experienced the 6.1 magnitude earthquake that occurred in Piura, Peru on 30 July 2021. The o…
