Abstract
El presente estudio cuantitativo descriptivo, correlacional, con diseño transversal, tuvo como
objetivo determinar la asociación entre los factores: edad, género, estado civil, diabetes,
hipertensión, obesidad con el nivel de estrés percibido en COVID-19, Maternidad Matilde
Hidalgo de Prócel, Guayaquil, 2021. La muestra incluyó 70 enfermeras(os) asistenciales. Se
utilizaron cuestionarios: la Escala de Estrés Percibido de Cohen, Kamarak y Mermelstein, y
un cuestionario para factores de estudio. Para la validez de instrumentos se usó la correlación
de Pearson, y el Alfa de Cronbach para la fiabilidad. Los resultados muestran predominancia
femenina, alta prevalencia de diabetes, seguida de hipertensión. Cerca de la mitad de los
participantes experimentaron nivel medio de estrés, el 12.86% reportó nivel alto de estrés
durante la pandemia. Se encontró asociación significativa entre estado civil y especialización
profesional, la edad, factores clínicos con el nivel de estrés percibido. Estos hallazgos
evidencian la necesidad de abordar estrategias de salud de apoyo específico, para el personal
de enfermería para mejorar su bienestar y rendimiento en contextos de pandemia sanitaria.
During the COVID-19 health emergency, this quantitative study with a descriptive and correlational approach, employing a cross-sectional design, aimed to investigate the association between labor, demographic, and clinical factors such as age, gender, marital status, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and the perceived stress level among nursing staff who worked at the Maternity Matilde Hidalgo de Prócel, Guayaquil, 2021. The sample comprised 70 nursing assistants. Questionnaires were used: the Cohen, Kamarak, and Mermelstein (1983) Perceived Stress Scale for stress measurement and another questionnaire evaluating demographic, work-related, and clinical data. Instrument validity was confirmed using Pearson correlation and reliability through Cronbach's Alpha. Results revealed a predominantly female nursing staff and a high prevalence of diabetes, followed by hypertension. Nearly half of the participants experienced moderate stress levels, while 12.86% reported high stress levels during the pandemic. Significant associations between marital status, specialization, and stress levels underscored the influence of these variables on stress perception. Additionally, correlations were observed between age, clinical factors, and the perceived stress level. These findings emphasize the need for specific support strategies, considering the different demographic, work-related, and clinical situations of nursing staff to enhance their well-being and performance in times of health crisis.
