新型冠状病毒疫情对我们的心理健康造成重大影响。在这项研究中，我们的目标是分析西班牙Covid-19封锁对心理影响的性别相关差异。通过在线调查（n = 1041）进行了一项横断面研究，有两个测量：在两个和五个星期后，在西班牙宣布紧急状态和呆在家里的命令。抑郁症状，焦虑和创伤后应激障碍（PTSD），感知孤独和精神幸福的存在进行了评估。为研究中的每个变量计算具有随机斜率的线性混合模型，以分析纵向测量的效果和与性别的相互作用。与男性相比，女性表现出更多的抑郁、焦虑和创伤后应激障碍症状，更多的孤独感和更少的精神健康。大流行病造成的心理影响会随着时间的推移而持续，并增加抑郁症。新冠肺炎对女性的心理影响似乎大于男性。需要更多地关注这一问题，以确定原因并减少这些差异。
The Covid-19 pandemic has caused a significant effect on our mental health. In this research, we aim to analyse gender-related differences in the psychological impact of the Covid-19 lockdown in Spain. A cross-sectional study was conducted through an online survey (n = 1041) with two measurements: at two and five weeks after the declaration of the state of emergency and stay-at-home order in Spain. The presence of depressive symptoms, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), perceived loneliness and spiritual well-being were evaluated. Linear mixed models with random slopes were calculated for each variable in the study in order to analyse the effect of longitudinal measures and interaction with gender. Women showed more symptoms of depression, anxiety and PTSD, more feelings of loneliness and less spiritual well-being compared to men. The psychological impact caused by the pandemic is maintained over time and increases for depression. Covid-19 appears to be having a greater psychological impact on women than men. More attention needs to be paid to this issue to establish the causes and reduce these differences.
