Uncertainty and COVID-19: Personal and Emotional States - Evaluation at 20 Months of the Pandemic and the Resulting Isolation

As of the declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, a home confinement program and a whole series of measures were started to protect the population from contagion. The world population faced two main critical situations: the fear of becoming infected and with it the fear of death and, on the other hand, the crisis caused by confinement at multiple levels -personal, family, social, among others-. As a result of this event that affects the entire world, an investigation was developed whose objectives focused on describing the perception of emotions and personal states after 20 months of the pandemic. To this end, we worked with a sample of 740 Argentine adults. The results of this research allow us to reflect on the description of personal and emotional states in the post-pandemic, in order to trace, on this basis, different action strategies in the coming period.
