Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic that hit Spain during March 2020 forced the
strict confinement of the population for 2 months. The objectives of this study were
(a) to assess the magnitude and duration of the influence of confinement on people’s
Distress, (b) to study the temporal sequence of stress, and (c) to show how different
day-to-day activities and personal variables influence perceived Distress levels.
Method: A daily registration was completed by 123 people, with ages ranging from
21 to 75 years old (X = 43, SD = 10 years), of which there were 40 men (32%)
and 83 females (68%). During 45 days of lockdown, from March 19th to May 3rd,
participants were asked to respond to a socio-demographic survey and make daily
records comprising the MASQ-D30 and some day-to-day behaviors. Pooled time series
was applied to establish what effect time had on the dependent variable.
Results: Distress has a 14-day autoregressive function and gender, physical activity,
sexual activity, listening to music, and teleworking also influence Distress. It has been
hypothesized that the intercept presents variability at level 2 (individual), but it has not
been significant. Interactions between Gender—Telecommuting, and Gender—Physical
Activity were observed. Approximately 66% of the variance of Distress was explained
(R
2 = 0.663).
Discussion: At the beginning of the lockdown, the average levels of Distress were well
above the levels of the end (z = 3.301). The individuals in the sample have followed a
very similar process in the development of Distress. During the lockdown, the “memory”
of Distress was 2 weeks. Our results indicate that levels of Distress depend on activities
during lockdown. Interactions exist between gender and some behavioral variables that
barely influence Distress in men but decrease Distress in women. The importance of
routine maintenance and gender differences must be considered to propose future
interventions during confinement. [-]
