Resumen

RESUMEN Algunos estudios han mostrado el impacto psicológico de la pandemia de COVID-19 en la salud mental perinatal, pero aún se desconocen las consecuencias a largo plazo de esta crisis sanitaria. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar los cambios en la salud mental perinatal tras 6 meses del inicio de la pandemia de la COVID-19 en España. Se reclutaron mujeres en etapa perinatal (n = 176, edad promedio = 33.80) durante la pandemia. Las participantes cumplimentaron la Escala de Depresión Postparto de Edimburgo, una escala de satisfacción con la vida y otra de afecto positivo y negativo. Los resultados mostraron una disminución de los síntomas depresivos a los 6 meses, t(174) = 2.58, p = .01, d = 0.02, mientras que los síntomas de ansiedad se mantuvieron elevados, t(174) = 1.31, p = .19. En cuanto al bienestar psicológico, los resultados mostraron una disminución en la satisfacción con la vida, t(175) = 2.58, p = .01, d = 0.16, y en el afecto negativo, t(175) = 3.15, p = .002, d = 0.26, y un aumento en el afecto positivo, t(175) = -4,45, p < .001, d = 0.35. Se espera que este estudio arroje luz sobre el diseño de futuras intervenciones dirigidas a la prevención de síntomas y a la mejora de la satisfacción con la vida durante la etapa perinatal.
