Cover Story: Unprecedented restrictions have been put in place on people’s daily lives all over the world to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, which may be triggering psychological symptoms of anxiety, stress, and depression. This study responds to the need to explore the individual characteristics that may help us to understand the levels of stress involved in the significant COVID-19-related restrictions to people’s daily lives. The results indicated that people aged under 40, and especially those under 25, women, and those on low incomes reported higher rates of confinement stress. The nature of where people live and their working situation during confinement also contributed to people’s stress response, although with lower levels of impact. Our study contributes significant information to understanding the effects of confinement, and its results may be used to inform intervention tools and programs. View this paper.
