Did College Students Suffer Stress During the Covid-19 Lockdown [Dataset]

[EN]Lockdown involves social isolation that can have a negative impact at
the psychological level, which is why several studies have analyzed the
relationship between confinement and possible emotional disorders or
alterations. This study aims to analyze the symptoms of posttraumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) pertaining to stressors that could appear during
the confinement of college students, in addition to their evolution and
the differential effects that contagion might cause to these symptoms.
270 students responded to a survey created specifically for this study.
The survey was administered once a week during the last four weeks of
confinement. The students' responses did not show evidence of PTSD
symptoms. Furthermore, the low frequency and intensity of symptoms
decreases as the weeks of confinement progress. Likewise, infected
students show more symptoms than non-infected students, except in
respect of the stressor Fear of contagion. The confinement experienced
by our students has not been a source of stress. Although this may seem
positive, it also promotes risky behaviors, so it should be considered
important to carry out awareness campaigns in order to promote habits
that help prevent the transmission of the virus.
