“…The lack of response to emergencies (which involved life or death in many cases), lack of basic information regarding COVID-19, serious difficulties in communicating basic information to the population, and lack of psychological support spaces for front-line professionals were the most common problems. Through proposals from civil society and academia the population gained access to spaces for psychological support and crisis intervention [59]. The evidence on the lockdown's gendered impact on self-perceived health found here is a strong indicator of how deep-rooted patriarchal gender beliefs affect the health of the Ecuadorian population.…”

Objective To examine the associations of sociodemographic, socioeconomic, and behavioral factors with depression, anxiety, and self-reported health status during the COVID-19 lockdown in Ecuador. We also assessed the differences in these associations between women and men. Design, setting, and participants We conducted a cross-sectional survey between July to October 2020 to adults who were living in Ecuador between March to October 2020. All data were collected through an online survey. We ran descriptive and bivariate analyses and fitted sex-stratified multivariate logistic regression models to assess the association between explanatory variables and self-reported health status. Results 1801 women and 1123 men completed the survey. Their median (IQR) age was 34 (27–44) years, most participants had a university education (84%) and a full-time public or private job (63%); 16% of participants had poor health self-perception. Poor self-perceived health was associated with being female, having solely public healthcare system access, perceiving housing conditions as inadequate, living with cohabitants requiring care, perceiving difficulties in coping with work or managing household chores, COVID-19 infection, chronic disease, and depression symptoms were significantly and independently associated with poor self-reported health status. For women, self-employment, having solely public healthcare system access, perceiving housing conditions as inadequate, having cohabitants requiring care, having very high difficulties to cope with household chores, having COVID-19, and having a chronic disease increased the likelihood of having poor self-reported health status. For men, poor or inadequate housing, presence of any chronic disease, and depression increased the likelihood of having poor self-reported health status. Conclusion Being female, having solely public healthcare system access, perceiving housing conditions as inadequate, living with cohabitants requiring care, perceiving difficulties in coping with work or managing household chores, COVID-19 infection, chronic disease, and depression symptoms were significantly and independently associated with poor self-reported health status in Ecuadorian population.

“…Más allá de este incremento, en la actualidad no se conoce cómo se efectuaron estas atenciones y el impacto que tuvo en los usuarios y sus familiares. Al respecto, estudios realizados durante el contexto de pandemia en Brasil (8) , Ecuador (9) y Cuba (10) sugieren que es esencial recoger la mirada de los usuarios, en particular sus percepciones sobre la atención recibida y sus expectativas y recomendaciones, para mejorar los servicios de salud mental. Guiados por ese interés, diseñamos un estudio cualitativo con el objetivo de comprender las experiencias de usuarios nuevos y continuadores de los CSMC de Lima y Callao, y de sus familiares, en relación a la atención en salud mental que recibieron durante la pandemia de la COVID-19.…”

“…Beyond this increase, it is not currently known how this care was provided and the impact it had on users and their families. In this regard, studies carried out during the pandemic in Brazil 8 , Ecuador 9 and Cuba 10 suggest that it is essential to collect the users’ viewpoint, particularly their perceptions of the care received and their expectations and recommendations, in order to improve mental health services. Therefore, we designed a qualitative study with the aim of understanding the experiences of new and continuing users of the CMHCs of Lima and Callao, and their families, in relation to the mental health care they received during the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

Objetivos. Comprender las experiencias de usuarios nuevos y continuadores de los Centros de Salud Mental Comunitaria (CSMC) de Lima y Callao, y de sus familiares, en relación a la atención en salud mental que recibieron durante la pandemia de la COVID-19. Materiales y métodos. Estudio cualitativo realizado entre septiembre del 2021 y febrero del 2022, en el que se entrevistó a 24 usuarios y familiares que interactuaron con los servicios brindados por tres CSMC de Lima y uno del Callao, durante la pandemia de la COVID-19. Se realizó un análisis temático de las entrevistas transcritas. Resultados. Los informantes percibieron que la pandemia exacerbó los síntomas de las personas con problemas de salud mental. Durante la pandemia, las atenciones de salud mental se apoyaron en el uso de tecnología, principalmente de llamadas telefónicas, las que sirvieron para monitorear el estado emocional y el tratamiento farmacológico de los usuarios, así como para programar y recordar citas. Los usuarios destacan que las llamadas telefónicas frecuentes les hicieron sentirse acompañados y resaltan el compromiso de los trabajadores de los CSMC. Como dificultades, reportan el incremento en la demanda de atención, problemas para acceder a videollamadas, y menor calidad en las atenciones virtuales. Conclusiones. La COVID-19 impactó emocionalmente a las personas con problemas de salud mental, a su vez, los servicios de los CSMC vieron afectada la modalidad (presencial o virtual), recursos, frecuencia, tiempo y calidad de la atención, encontrando limitaciones y beneficios en el uso de la tecnología.
