Keywords:
COVID-19, infodemic, aged, stress, psychological, social media.Abstract
Objective: To analyze the relationship between COVID-19 infodemic and perceived stress in elderly people who use social media.
Methods: Cross-sectional study using a web-based survey, 470 aged respondents to sociodemographic questions, exposure to information about COVID-19, and signs and symptoms associated with psychological distress. Outcome variable evaluated by the Perceived Stress Scale and mean score according to independent variables compared by t-test, analysis of variance or Pearson's correlation and final model constructed by multiple linear regression.
Results: The significant variables in the final model (p < 0.05) were: TV exposure (β = -0.144; 95%CI= -11.195 – -1.609); exposure through social networks (β = -0.175; CI95% = -8.117 – -0.837); positive screening for psychological distress due to exposure to information about COVID-19 (β = -0.380; 95%CI= -16.033 - -8.975). Conclusion: infodemic can increase stress in the elderly, demanding specific care for this population and the strengthening of their social network.
