contents Loneliness, mental health and COVID-19 in the Spanish population Berta Ausín Clara González-Sanguino Miguel Ángel Castellanos Jesús Saiz Carolina Ugidos Aída López-Gómez Manuel Muñoz Psicología 19 COVID Loneliness Quarantine Mental Health The study aim was to assess the effects of the health emergency and the stay-at-home restrictions on loneliness variables in the Spanish population during the initial stage of COVID-19. A cross-sectional study was conducted through an online survey of 3480 people. From March 14, 2020, screening tests were used to evaluate sociodemographic and COVID-19-related data on loneliness, social support, the presence of mental health symptoms, discrimination, and spiritual well-being. Descriptive analyses were conducted and linear regression models were constructed. A negative association was found between loneliness and being older, being partnered, having children, being a university graduate, being retired or still working, having stronger religious beliefs, believing that information provided about the pandemic was adequate, having social support, and having self-compassion. Actions that promote social support and further studies on loneliness in groups of older people are needed to prevent the pandemic having a stronger impact on mental health and well-being. 2021 artículo científico 1138-2635 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=271069891001 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2710/271069891001/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2710/271069891001/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2710/271069891001/271069891001.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2710/271069891001/movil https://doi.org/10.24310/espsiescpsi.v14i2.12498 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2710 Escritos de Psicología - Psychological Writings application/pdf Universidad de Málaga Escritos de Psicología - Psychological Writings (España) Num.2 Vol.14
