Ansiedad y afrontamiento al Covid-19 en militares de la Brigada Blindada Galápagos N° 11, Riobamba, 2021

ABSTRACT This research aimed to analyze anxiety and coping mechanisms to deal with SARS-COV- 2. The study was carried out at the military GCB Nº 31 Machala-Galapagos headquarters Nº 11 in Riobamba. It is essential to define anxiety, which is considered the manifestation that people develop before a situation that is expected to cause danger. In this case, the spread of SARS-COV-2 has already taken the lives of more than one million people worldwide. The duties of the population studied have made them people at high risk of being infected since they are constantly exposed to medical and health personnel in the city and are therefore at risk of presenting anxiety. This study was a quantitative, descriptive, field, and bibliographic. According to the temporal sequence, the study was cross-sectional and prospective. The study sample consisted of 100 officers and volunteers, divided into hierarchies ranging from soldiers to commandants. The Zung Anxiety Self-Assessment Scale and the Modified Coping Strategies Scale (EEC-M) were used as data collection instruments. The information was processed using the SPSS statistical package. The results showed that mild anxiety prevails over moderate and marked anxiety. The study determined that the most frequently used coping strategy was problem-solving. Key words: Anxiety, Coping, SARS-COV-2. Reviewed by: MsC. Adriana Cundar Ruano, Ph.D. ENGLISH PROFESSOR c.c. 1709268534
