TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Psychological impact in the time of COVID-19: a cross-sectional population survey study during confinement JO - Journal of health psychology A1 - Cencerrado, Andrés A1 - Torres-Serrano, María A1 - Castellano-Tejedor, Carmina SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - The transformation that COVID-19 has brought upon the world is unparalleled. The impact on mental health is equally unprecedented and yet unexplored in depth. An online-based survey was administered to 413 community-based adults during COVID-19 confinement to explore psychological impact and identify high risk profiles. Young females concerned about the future, expressing high COVID-related distress, already following psychological therapy and suffering from pre-existing chronic conditions, were those at highest risk of psychological impact due to the COVID-19 situation.

FINDINGS could be employed to design tailored psychological interventions in the early stages of the outbreak to avoid the onset/exacerbation of psychopathology.
