ANTONELLI-PONTI, Mayra; CARDOSO, Francisco; PINTO, Célio  and  SILVA, José Aparecido da. Effects of Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil and Portugal: peritraumatic distress. Psicol. pesq. [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.spe, pp. 239-259. ISSN 1982-1247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34019/1982-1247.2020.v14.32262.

The world is living in a pandemic situation because of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. We compared peritraumatic distress during Covid-19 pandemic (CPD) between Brazil and Portugal, two Latin nations with a long conjointly history. The results pointed to high CPD levels to Brazilians with 19% (severe level), and 64% within CPD (from mild to severe), against 5.3% and 38% of the Portuguese people. Brazilians showed higher severity in 20 (of 24) items of CPD. The global index (CPDI) was higher in Brazilians. These differences are explained by the different political health decisions of the two countries.

Keywords : Pandemic; Intercultural study; Covid-19; Peritraumatic distress; CPDI.
