Abstract

The public health crisis of COVID-19 has implied that behaviors for its prevention are carried out and has had psychological consequences on citizens. This research compares the relationships between the sociodemographic variables and the mental health and public health variables against COVID-19 in the Mexican population. It was a transversal design of a single stage. A sample of 7,693 adult participants answered an online questionnaire designed ad hoc during June 2020. The results indicate that there is a positive relationship between all public health variables: outcome expectations, self-efficacy, subjective social norm, barriers/facilitators, experience in prevention behaviors and intention of post-confinement prevention behaviors and the mental health variables: anxiety, depression and resilience. In contrast, there is a negative correlation of the latter. There are more stress and depression symptoms among women and people 16-26 years old. Moreover, results indicate that public health behaviors differ according to gender, educational level, people caretaking, information level, and COVID-19 infection. Based on our findings, we consider it essential to promote interventions from a health psychology perspective, sensitive to different groups of people, contributing to the development of resilience and reducing the pandemic's psychological impact.
