ABSTRACT

Objective: To determine the psychological impact of COVID-19 in convalescent patients from the disease in the Sancti Spíritus municipality.
Materials and methods: A descriptive study was carried out with a non-probabilistic, intentional sample, consisting of the 7 positive patients for COVID-19 from the Sancti Spíritus municipality, for which theoretical, empirical and statistical techniques were used.
Results: 71.4% of the sample corresponded to the female sex and the age group between 20 and 29 years old predominated. In the cognitive order, concern about contagion to a close relative stood out in 71.4% of the cases; while the social representation of the disease corresponded to life threatening in 71.4% and there was a predominance of asymptomatic cases. 71.4% of the sample turned out to be vulnerable to stress and negative emotional states such as fear, restlessness, sadness, dejection and anguish were found. 85.7% of the patients presented an internal locus of control and 71.4% a high resilience capacity.
Conclusions: COVID-19 has produced a psychological impact on patients confirmed to the disease, generating negative emotional states, even when a responsible and resilient attitude is assumed in the face of this pathology.
