Introducción: Estudios previos han mostrado efectos negativos de las medidas de contención sobre la salud mental de jóvenes.
Objetivos: Por ello, en este trabajo nos proponemos estudiar factores relacionados con el desarrollo de problemas de salud mental en jóvenes españoles menores de 30 años y predictores de la adopción de prácticas preventivas.
Metodología: Se diseño una encuesta online. La muestra estuvo formada por un total de 327 jóvenes. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron el General Health Questionnaire y la Escala de Capital Psicológico. Asimismo, se recogieron datos acerca de la adhesión a las siguientes medidas: distancia social, uso de guantes, mascarilla, higiene de manos y confinamiento.
Resultados: Los resultados mostraron un alto malestar. El 99.6% presentó puntuaciones GHQ ≥ 3, mientras que el 52.7 % presentaron puntuaciones GHQ ≥ 6. Ser varón se asoció con peores niveles de salud mental y un menor cumplimiento del total de las medidas. Asimismo, un mayor capital psicológico se asoció con una mejor salud mental.
Conclusiones: Los resultados apuntan a la necesidad de cuidar de la salud mental de los jóvenes durante la pandemia, especialmente de los varones. Es posible que, programas dirigidos a promocionar el capital psicológico, mejoren la salud mental durante la pandemia.
