In the face of the psychological crisis of fear caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, it is relevant to know the positive impact of hope and resilience during this context. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between hope and resilience with fear of COVID-19 in young people. The design was non-experimental, cross-sectional, and correlational. The sample consisted of 192 young people living in Metropolitan Lima, Peru. We used the Hope-Despair Questionnaire, the Resilience Scale, and the COVID-19 Fear Questionnaire. The results show that there is a significant correlation between hope, resilience, and fear of COVID-19 in young people. On the other hand, a significant difference was found in resilience according to gender. Likewise, it was found that the variables hope and resilience explain 81% (R2 adjusted) of the fear of COVID-19 (F test = 21.53; p < 0.01). Hope and resilience are protective factors that have a positive impact when facing the fear of COVID-19. Thus, policies, programs, and public health strategies related to positive mental health should be promoted, with emphasis on hope and resilience.
在面对 COVID-19 大流行引起的恐惧心理危机时，了解希望和适应力在这一背景下的积极影响是相关的。本研究的目的是确定希望和适应力与年轻人对 COVID-19 的恐惧之间的相关性。该设计是非实验性的、横断面的和相关性的。样本由居住在秘鲁利马大都市的 192 名年轻人组成。我们使用了希望-绝望问卷、适应力量表和 COVID-19 恐惧问卷。结果表明，年轻人的希望、适应力和对 COVID-19 的恐惧之间存在显著相关性。另一方面，根据性别发现适应力存在显著差异。同样，发现希望和适应力这两个变量可以解释 COVID-19 恐惧的 81%（调整后的 R2）（F 检验=21.53；p<0.01）。希望和适应力是保护因素，在面对 COVID-19 恐惧时具有积极影响。因此，应促进与积极心理健康相关的政策、计划和公共卫生战略，重点是希望和适应力。
