Resumen

El objetivo del estudio es analizar longitudinalmente los efectos del confinamiento derivados de la Covid-19 en la soledad de la población general española. Se evaluó mediante una encuesta online en tres momentos: dos semanas después del inicio del confinamiento (N = 3480), un mes después (N = 1041) y dos meses después con la vuelta al a nueva normalidad (N = 569). Se tomaron medidas de variables sociodemográficas, soledad, apoyo social, sintomatología depresiva y ansiosa. Para analizar el efecto de las medidas longitudinales se calculó un modelo lineal mixto (GLMM) para la variable soledad, con comparaciones posthoc mediante medias marginales estimadas con la corrección de Tuckey. La tendencia en las puntuaciones de soledad es descendente a lo largo del estudio longitudinal, disminuyendo las puntuaciones en la tercera evaluación de forma significativa (Z(T1-T2) = 0.13, p = 0.045). Los principales predictores para la soledad son la sintomatología depresiva y el apoyo social. Es necesario prestar una mayor atención a la soledad en la situación derivada por la pandemia, además de presentar atención a la sintomatología depresiva asociada y a las medidas de fortalecimiento de las redes de apoyo social.
