Abstract

The pandemic originated in 2019 by the SARS-CoV-2 virus not only affects the physical well-being of people, but also the mental health of each one of them, considering confinement as one of the main causes. The World Health Organization determines that the pandemic caused by Covid-19 has caused people to go through or develop anxiety, depression and stress. The objective of this research has been to diagnose the psychosocial impact due to confinement by covid-19 in university students. 109 students from the Santa Elena Peninsula State University participated. The DASS-21 instrument was used, which allows knowing through 21 questions or sections whose objective was to detect the maximum number of relevant symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress. Three main symptoms were selected to perform the analysis of this group of young people. Results of anxiety, depression and stress are evidenced in all the scales that affected the psychosocial well-being of the students. Confinement and virtual education affected the emotional well-being and mental health of students. To minimize the negative effect of confinement and experiences of negative emotions, the mindfulness technique is proposed, which consists of paying attention to the situation that is going through without judging or making negative comments, being focused on the mind and thoughts of the here and now.

Keywords: Mindfulness, confinement, symptoms, psychosocial.
