| description | Abstract Objective The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted the mental health of the population, exacerbating social inequalities. The aim of this study is to analyze, within the pandemic context, the association between specific psychosocial determinants and symptoms of depression, anxiety, alcohol consumption, and suicidal ideation. Method This is a quantitative, cross-sectional, and correlational study. Data were collected through online questionnaires from individuals in the general population who utilized a health support service via chat modality in 2020. Results The findings revealed that alcohol consumption was associated with gender, post-pandemic income, and financial problems or unemployment. Feelings of depression/sadness were associated with education and having received government emergency financial aid, while feelings of anxiety and nervousness were associated with income. Conclusion It was concluded that further investigation into social determinants of health and their relationship with the impacts of the pandemic on mental health is warranted. This exploration aims to develop strategies to minimize these consequences. |
