 Research Hypothesis

By the end of 2020 and early 2021 there will be a mental

health crisis because we are going to have a longer
confinement, this crisis will be reflected in the increase in
disorders such as anxiety and depression.
 Justification
• According to the coronavirus case count, we are facing a new wave of
infections which previously led us to confinement to avoid a more rapid
spread of the virus. Our prognosis is that a new wave of mental health
conditions is coming such as anxiety, depression and in more severe
cases these lead to suicide. All this because in the past studies were
carried out on how confinement had affected mental health and it was
found that disorders such as depression and anxiety had been highly
aggravated in quarantine.
• The World Health Organization (WHO) and experts from different parts of the
world warned about the mental health problems that confinement and the
pandemic could generate and today, six months after the latter was declared,
the first studies confirm them.
• The PSY-Covid-19 study, which is being carried out in the world to know the
psychological effects of the pandemic, has already shown some results in
Colombia.
• In this country, the Javeriana University of Cali, the University of Barcelona
(UBAT) and the Colombian College of Psychologists participated in the study.
They obtained 18,061 responses from people between the ages of 18 and 90,
75% women and the remaining 25% men. 45% were formal workers, 89%
had university studies and 62% a medium income level.
• 9% said they had a mental health disorder since before the pandemic. The
results showed that 29% of the consulted population had symptoms of
anxiety and 35% of depression.
• The population most affected in their mental health was the female. 31% of
the women reported anxiety and 36% depression. Also young adults, of
which 37% said they felt depressed. The other most affected population was
the one with the lowest income, in which 36% had anxiety and 46% had
depression. According to the Revista Pesquisa of the Javeriana University,
which published the results of the study, "these symptoms of depression and
anxiety in the Colombian population in recent months are related, among
other factors, to new work dynamics and the decrease in income ".
• The results of the survey indicate that 74% of people feel their income is
threatened and 69% the continuity of their employment or their studies.
Likewise, during the pandemic work activity has deteriorated by 63%,
income by 55%, physical activity by 50% and sleep habits by 49%.
• This study was conducted through anonymous online surveys and, so far,
has collected more than 75,000 responses globally, with the work of 80
researchers from 40 universities. For now, only the first results from
Colombia have been delivered.
• The research also showed a series of positive effects on the mental
health of those surveyed in Colombia due to the pandemic. 60% said that
their social relationships had improved, 71% considered that their
personal strength had increased, 65% had a spiritual change and 82%
said they appreciate life more.
 Null Hypothesis

• By the end of 2020 and early 2021 there will not be a

mental health crisis because we will no longer have a
longer confinement, this crisis will not be reflected in the
increase in disorders such as anxiety and depression.
 Alternative Hypothesis

• Confinement will not have an effect on people's mental

health because they will already be more accustomed to
the contingency and in this way, they can meditate or take
plenty of time to dedicate themselves to maintaining their
stable mental health and without any type of illness. that
affects them.
