MALVEZZI, Mariana; SANTANA, Flávia Feitosa  y  FIGUEIREDO, Cléber da Costa. Psychological well-being and covid-19: Psychological impacts of quarantine on the brazilian population. Estud. psicol. (Natal) [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.2, pp. 117-127. ISSN 1413-294X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22491/1678-4669.20210012.

The Covid-19 pandemic had several impacts, both social and psychological ones. Based on Ryff's (1995) Psychological Well-Being (PWB) concept, this work considers health as a whole - not as the absence of disease, but as physical, mental, and social well-being, together with the ability to face challenges in six dimensions: self-acceptance; positive relationships with others; autonomy; environmental mastery; purpose in life; and personal growth. Our main objective was to assess PWB among the quarantined Brazilian population. A second aim was to verify differences in PWB in relation to the following demographics: gender, education, income, and age. A quantitative survey was conducted using Ryff's scale (1995) with a stratified sample proportional to the number of deaths in each region of Brazil as reported by the government on May 3, 2020. The data were collected between May 4 and 10, 2020. The lowest PWB score was found in the low-education, low-income group, whereas the highest PWB score was in found the elderly group.
