Resumen

El objetivo del presente estudio fue describir las diferencias entre personas que informaron presentar ansiedad ante el COVID-19 y aquellas que no. Asimismo, analizamos cómo los comportamientos preventivos y las percepciones se vinculan con la ansiedad frente al COVID-19. La muestra comprendió a 438 participantes de Perú. Se utilizó el método de encuesta en línea empleando la plataforma LimeSurvey. Los resultados indicaron diferencias significativas entre los grupos con y sin ansiedad, respecto al sexo, las amenazas percibidas, el grado de confianza en la información y la autoconfianza ante el COVID-19. La ansiedad correlacionó significativamente con las amenazas percibidas. No se encontraron diferencias significativas respecto a edad, grado de instrucción, ingreso económico, religión, comportamientos preventivos, percepciones comprobadas, mitificadas y probabilidad de contagio. Considerando estos hallazgos, se discute la importancia de los comportamientos preventivos, y el acceso a la información oportuna y confiable para reducir el malestar psicológico.
