Objective: To describe the levels of stress, anxiety and depression during a period of confinement by COVID-19 in students, teachers and administrative staff of a Colombian university.
Materials and methods: Quantitative, observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study. There were 1,318 individuals without diagnosed mental illnesses who agreed to participate in the study by signing an informed consent. A sociodemographic record was created to measure variables of interest and the Abbreviated Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Descriptive statistics were reported and Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals were calculated.
Results: In 40.3% (N = 531) of the cases there was depression, in 42.6% (N = 562) anxiety and in 44.6% (N = 588) stress; Being a woman, economic income being affected, increased academic / work load and changes in sleep frequency, quality and / or habits, were found to be significant risk factors for depression, anxiety and stress.
