- Abstract
Introduction: The Covid-19 pandemic has affected the mental health of people worldwide, with frontline medical personnel being the most affected, emerging the urgency of preparing them with soft skills and coping strategies to strengthen their mental health. Aim: To describe the symptoms of mental health and psychological well-being and their relationship with coping strategies in a sample of frontline medical personnel during the health crisis of the Covid-19 pandemic. Method: Quantitative, descriptive-correlational cross-sectional study. The Coping Strategies Scale (EEC-M), the Psychological Well-Being Scale (EBP), and the Derogatis (1994) SCL90-R symptom inven1 tory was used in a sample of 57 participants belonging to front-line medical personnel in care for patients with COVID between the months of September and December 2020.2 Results: The presence of risk in mental health symptoms was not identified, and psychological well-being showed scores in the normal range. This was associated with frequent use of functional coping strategies such as seeking professional support and positive reappraisal and low use of nonfunctional coping strategies such as waiting, emotional avoidance, aggressive reaction, cognitive avoidance, and denial in the study sample. Conclusions: The contribution of an assertive use of coping strategies in atypical health emergencies in front-line medical personnel during the covid-19 pandemic is evidenced, indicating the need for training and training in soft skills in these professionals.
