The COVID-19 pandemic led to global social confinement that had a significant impact on people's lives. This includes changes such as increased loneliness and isolation, changes in sleep patterns and social habits, increased substance use and domestic violence, and decreased physical activities. In some cases, it has increased mental health problems, such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
The objective of this study is to analyze the living conditions that arose during social confinement in the first wave of COVID-19 within a group of volunteers in Mexico City.
This is a descriptive and cross-sectional analysis of the experiences of volunteers during social confinement from 20 March 2020 to 20 December 2020. The study analyzes the impact of confinement on family life, work, mental health, physical activity, social life, and domestic violence. A maximum likelihood generalized linear model is used to determine the association between domestic violence and demographic and health-related factors.
The findings indicate that social confinement had a significant impact on the participants, resulting in difficulties within families and vulnerable conditions for individuals. Gender and social level differences were observed in work and mental health. Physical activity and social life were also modified. We found that suffering from domestic violence was significantly associated with being unmarried (), lack of self-care in feeding habits (), and most notably, having suffered from a symptomatic COVID-19 infection (). Despite public policy to support vulnerable populations during confinement, only a small proportion of the studied population reported benefiting from it, suggesting areas for improvement in policy.
The findings of this study suggest that social confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the living conditions of people in Mexico City. Modified circumstances on families and individuals, included increased domestic violence. The results can inform policy decisions to improve the living conditions of vulnerable populations during times of social confinement.
COVID-19 大流行导致了全球社会禁闭,对人们的生活产生了重大影响。这包括孤独和隔离感增加、睡眠模式和社会习惯改变、物质使用和家庭暴力增加以及身体活动减少等变化。在某些情况下,它增加了心理健康问题,如焦虑、抑郁和创伤后应激障碍。
本研究旨在分析墨西哥城一组志愿者在 COVID-19 第一波社会禁闭期间出现的生活状况。
这是一项对 2020 年 3 月 20 日至 2020 年 12 月 20 日期间志愿者社会禁闭期间经历的描述性和横断面分析。该研究分析了禁闭对家庭生活、工作、心理健康、身体活动、社会生活和家庭暴力的影响。最大似然广义线性模型用于确定家庭暴力与人口统计学和健康相关因素之间的关联。
研究结果表明,社会禁闭对参与者产生了重大影响,导致家庭内部出现困难,个人处于脆弱状态。在工作和心理健康方面,观察到了性别和社会阶层差异。身体活动和社会生活也发生了改变。我们发现,遭受家庭暴力与未婚()、饮食习惯缺乏自我保健()显著相关,最值得注意的是,遭受有症状的 COVID-19 感染()显著相关。尽管禁闭期间有公共政策支持弱势群体,但只有一小部分研究人群报告从中受益,这表明政策需要改进。
本研究结果表明,COVID-19 大流行期间的社会禁闭对墨西哥城人民的生活条件产生了重大影响。家庭和个人的情况发生了变化,包括家庭暴力增加。研究结果可为禁闭期间改善弱势群体生活条件的政策决策提供信息。
