Abstract

Abstract: Covid-19 has had an impact on the mental health of the general population, even more so on the professionals who worked on the front line of care. The main objective of this research was to determine the mental health status of health workers during the Covid-19 pandemic in the public sector of the city of Quito during the year 2022. The methodology used was non experimental, cross-sectional, exploratory, descriptive and quantitative. As a data collection sample there were 45 participants, however, the processing sample was 43 health workers. The type of sampling was accidental, not probabilistic. Information was collected using the following instruments: Ad-hoc sociodemographic questionnaire, Chronic Work Stress Inventory (MBI-HSS), Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS - 21), Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ - II) 7 , Loneliness Scale (UCLA-3), Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). In conclusion, health personnel present optimal levels in the variables evaluated, however, it is important to mention that although high levels were found in a low percentage, in these cases emergency care would be needed.
