Resumo(s)
A pandemia COVID-19 teve implicações significativas tanto a nível local como global, resultando em restrições e mudanças sem precedentes na vida diária. Este estudo exploratório teve como objetivo investigar o impacto de um ano de confinamento no funcionamento cognitivo, nomeadamente nos processos de memória e atenção e na regulação emocional. Participaram 39 universitários saudáveis com idades entre 18 e os 44 anos. A recolha dos dados foi realizada através de uma plataforma online num período antes do início da pandemia e após o confinamento. Os resultados deste estudo indicaram, em geral, um pior desempenho em todos os domínios (atenção, memória e regulação emocional). A idade não se constituiu como um indicador de pior desempenho cognitivo e emocional. Surpreendentemente, os homens apresentaram maior dificuldade em regular as emoções durante este período assim como os infetados com COVID-19. As conclusões apontam para uma diminuição da saúde mental. Este estudo alertou para a necessidade de implementação de programas preventivos e interventivos em situações futuras semelhantes a nível da saúde mental.

Data collection was carried out through an online platform in a period before the beginning of the pandemic and after confinement. The results of this study indicated, in general, a worst performance in all domains (memory, attention and emotional regulation). The age did not constitute an indicator of worst performance in cognitive and emotional level. Surprisingly, men presented more difficulties in regulating emotions during this period just like the COVID-19 infected group. The conclusions go towards a decrease in mental health. This study did alert for the necessity to implement preventable and interventional programs for future similar occasions on a mental health level.
