Objetivo: Determinar si el estrés financiero estuvo asociado a la percepción de poder perder el trabajo en el Perú durante la pandemia COVID-19. Material y Métodos: Estudio transversal analítico, donde participaron 507 encuestados. La variable principal se obtuvo de una encuesta validada que medía la inseguridad laboral, esta se cruzó versus el estrés financiero y otras variables socio-laborales. Resultados: En el análisis multivariado, los que tenían estrés financiero tuvieron mayor inseguridad laboral (RPa: 2,46; IC95%: 2,20-2,75; valor p<0,001), por otra parte, a menor edad hubo mayor inseguridad laboral (RPa: 0,992; IC95%: 0,985-0,999; valor p=0,024), ajustado por el estado civil y el tipo de trabajo. Conclusión: Se confirma la fuerte asociación entre el estrés financiero y la inseguridad laboral. Este hallazgo puede repercutir en la salud ocupacional de los trabajadores, generando un inadecuado ambiente en el trabajo.

Objective: To determine whether financial stress was associated with the perception of losing one's job in Peru during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study, in which 507 respondents participated. The main variable was obtained from a validated survey measuring job insecurity, which was crossed with financial stress and other socio-labor variables. Results: In the multivariate analysis, those with financial stress had greater job insecurity (RPa: 2.46; 95%CI: 2.20-2.75; p-value<0.001), while the younger the age, the greater the job insecurity (RPa: 0.992; 95%CI: 0.985-0.999; p-value=0.024), adjusted for marital status and type of work. Conclusion: The strong association between financial stress and job insecurity is confirmed. This finding may have repercussions on the occupational health of workers, generating an inadequate work environment.

            Estrés laboral, ansiedad y miedo al COVID-19 en médicos generales colombianos

            Introducción. Las epidemias pueden generar angustia en la población general y en los profesionales de la salud, y la pandemia causada por el virus del COVID-19 no es la excepción. El objetivo del presente estudio es determinar la presencia de síntomas de estrés laboral, ansiedad y miedo al COVID-19 en médicos generales, además de estimar la asociación según el ente territorial donde trabajaban. Metodología. Este es un estudio transversal que exploró síntomas y percepciones durante la pandemia del COVID-19 en médicos generales colombianos sometidos a cuarentena obligatoria que ejercieron su profesión en marzo del 2020. Previo consentimiento informado, anónima y voluntariamente, los participantes diligenciaron un formulario virtual con preguntas generales sobre COVID-19. El cuestionario buscaba encontrar problemas psicosomáticos sirviéndose de la Escala para el Trastorno de Ansiedad Generalizada (GAD-7, por sus siglas en inglés) y el FCV-19S (Fear of COVID-19). Los participantes se clasificaron en Municipio no capital o Municipio capital según el ente territorial en donde laboraban. Regresión logística entre el ente territorial (que acá es tomada como variable independiente) con los síntomas de ansiedad, estrés laboral y miedo al COVID-19 (que en este caso es tomado como variable dependiente). Resultados: Participaron 531 médicos generales con edad promedio de 30 años. El 73.3% laboraban en Municipio capital. Un tercio de los encuestados presentó estrés laboral leve, mientras que el 6% presentó estrés laboral alto o severo, esto sin diferencias entre los grupos (p<0.05). Se identificaron síntomas de ansiedad en el 72.9%, más frecuente entre quienes laboraban en las capitales (p=0.044). El 37.1% presentó síntomas de miedo al COVID-19 (FCV-19S). No se observó asociación en la regresión logística realizada. Discusión: Factores psicosociales y psicosomáticos asociados al miedo son el común denominador de los síntomas de ansiedad y estrés laboral en las pandemias. Conclusión: Siete de cada diez participantes presentó síntomas de ansiedad o estrés laboral, mientras que cuatro presentaron síntomas de FCV-19S. No se observó asociación con la clasificación del municipio donde laboraban.

              Intolerance of Uncertainty and Fear of COVID-19 Moderating Role in Relationship Between Job Insecurity and Work-Related Distress in the Republic of Serbia

              The COVID-19 outbreak in Serbia was followed by strict restrictions that negatively affected the economy, particularly small size companies. The complete lockdown and the prohibition of certain services have led to an unstable employment situation. Only several studies investigated the job insecurity and its consequences during COVID-19 pandemic, and some of them highlight the fear of COVID-19 as a significant moderator of mental health. Other studies emphasize the huge effect that intolerance of uncertainty could have in explaining distress, especially during pandemic. In addition, intolerance of uncertainty was considered as a possible moderator of the relationship between the objective and subjective job threat, as well their consequences for mental health. This study aimed to examine the presence of job insecurity and work related distress in Serbia during the first wave of COVID-19. We wanted to measure the effect of the job insecurity on experienced work distress, as well the moderation potential of the intolerance of uncertainty as an individual-level and the fear of coronavirus as a situation-dependent variable. Five hundred and twenty five employed participants took part in an online study during the first wave of coronavirus infection in Serbia. To measure job insecurity, we used Perception of job insecurity scale (PJIS), while distress was assessed with Distress scale from 4DSQ. Fear of COVID-19 was measured on three items. The intolerance of uncertainty was measured by the IUS-11 scale. The results showed that 30.4% of the participants consider their employment as moderately or highly insecure, and 15.1% thought they can lose their jobs. 63.4% of participants expressed increased levels of distress. The moderation analysis revealed that the effect of job insecurity on distress can be moderated by interaction of intolerance of uncertainty and COVID-related fear. In general, distress scores were increasing with increasing job insecurity, intolerance of uncertainty and fear of COVID-19. This pattern is not observed only when fear and intolerance of uncertainty were both low, when job instability could not influence distress. This study also showed that emotional appraisal of the job threat had higher impact on distress than the perceived threat, that shed the light on the importance of considering general resilience capabilities as a protective factor in the work environment in the time of crisis.
