Abstract

During the course of the severe acute respiratory syndrome pandemic (SARS-Cov-2), which has been present since 2020, the importance and challenge for mental health professionals became evident, due to the changes generated to safeguard the world population; the increase in anxiety, depression and stress, raised different questions (Pérez, Álvarez & Rodríguez, 2020). An empirical-analytical study was carried out, of a comparative descriptive type, with cross-sectional quantitative methodology, with the aim of comparing the responses of anxiety, depression and stress in two groups of people with higher education studies who were infected and not infected with COVID-19. The aim was to categorize these responses and subsequently identify the similarities and differences between those who were infected and those who were not infected with COVID-19. The sample consisted of 459 men and women, who reported university education in progress or completed in Colombia and who filled out two instruments, on the one hand, the sociodemographic characterization designed for specific research purposes and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21). The results were analyzed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 28.0 program, finding that the samples were normally distributed and that the people who had COVID-19 did not present higher scores of depressions, anxiety and stress than those who had not been infected.
