Resumen

La percepción de riesgo es clave para predecir la ansiedad y las conductas protectoras en contextos de incertidumbre. Basándose en la teoría transaccional de Lazarus y Folkman, se propone que estrategias de afrontamiento desadaptativas moderan la relación entre percepción de riesgo y ansiedad. Este estudio investigó el efecto moderador de estrategias de afrontamiento evitativo sobre los niveles de ansiedad durante la pandemia de Covid-19. Participaron 395 personas con posibles comorbilidades para Covid-19, con promedio de edad de 37.5 años. Se utilizaron escalas psicométricas para evaluar la ansiedad, la percepción de riesgo, el afrontamiento evitativo y las conductas protectoras. Se realizaron análisis comparativos por edad y género, y modelos estructurales basados en mínimos cuadrados parciales para explorar el rol moderador del afrontamiento evitativo. Los resultados mostraron un efecto positivo significativo del afrontamiento evitativo en el aumento de la ansiedad predicha por la percepción de riesgo. Estos hallazgos resaltan la importancia de fomentar mecanismos de afrontamiento más saludables en futuras iniciativas de salud pública para mitigar los impactos negativos de la comunicación del riesgo sobre amenazas patogénicas.
