description Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a complex disease that has affected millions worldwide, with more than four and a half million deaths. It is undoubtedly the most complex pandemic experienced by modern humanity, generating harmful consequences at all levels of human life, directly affecting individuals, families, and couples. Based on the above, this research proposed the following research question: What are the levels and correlation among Couple Satisfaction, Stress, Anxiety, Depression, and Fear of COVID-19 in people in couple relationships in Chile during the COVID-19 pandemic? The present research methodology corresponds to a descriptive correlational type of non-experimental nature with a cross-sectional design. The sample was composed of 1,109 people—78.3% female, 21.5% male, and 0.3% non-binary—who were in a couple's relationship at the time of answering the questionnaires. At a descriptive level, the COVID-19 pandemic affected more the female gender, those who did not live with their partners, and those who did not have children. They presented higher rates of depression, anxiety, and stress. Concerning correlations, partner satisfaction had a significant and negative correlation with fear of COVID-19 (-.322; -.329), depression (-.244; -.246), anxiety (-.173; -1.53), and stress (-204; -1.88). From these results, we can conclude that being in a couple during the COVID-19 pandemic was a protective factor for mental health. These results should draw the attention of national authorities to realize possible strategies for preventing mental health problems in individuals and couples in the country.

El Coronavirus (COVID-19) es una enfermedad compleja que ha afectado a millones de personas en todo el planeta, con más de 4 millones y medio de muertes a lo largo del mundo, es sin lugar a duda la pandemia más compleja experimentada por la humanidad moderna, generando consecuencias nocivas en todos los planos de la vida humana, afectando directamente a personas, familias y parejas.  A partir de lo anterior esta investigación se propuso la siguiente pregunta de investigación ¿Cuáles son los niveles y la correlación entre la Satisfacción de Pareja, el Estrés, Ansiedad, Depresión y el Miedo al COVID-19 en personas que se encuentran en una relación de pareja en Chile durante la pandemia del COVID-19?. La metodología de la presente investigación corresponde a un tipo descriptivo correlacional, de carácter no experimental con un diseño transversal, con una muestra de carácter aleatoria compuesta por 1.109 personas, 868 (78,3%) género femenino, 238 (21,5%) género masculino y 3 (0,3%) género no binario, que se encontraban en pareja al momento de responder los cuestionarios. A nivel descriptivo la pandemia del COVID-19 afecto más al género femenino, además en aquellas que no vivían con su pareja, así como aquellas que no tenían hijos, presentando mayores índices de depresión, ansiedad y estrés. Con respecto a las correlaciones, la satisfacción de pareja tuvo una correlación significativa y negativa con el miedo al COVID-19 (-,322; -,329); la depresión (-,244; -246); la ansiedad (-,173; -1,53) y el estrés (-204; -1,88). A partir de estos resultados podemos referir  que el estar en pareja durante la pandemia del COVID-19 podría ser un factor protector de la salud mental. Estos resultados deben llamar la atención de las autoridades nacionales para poder realizar posibles estrategias de prevención de problemas de salud mental en las personas y parejas de nuestro país.    Palabras Claves: Satisfacción de Pareja, Ansiedad, Depresión, Estrés, Miedo al COVID-19. application/pdf application/epub+zip application/xml https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/7761 eng Universidad de Buenos Aires https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/7761/7061 https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/7761/7062 https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/7761/7063 Copyright (c) 2023 {PSOCIAL} {PSOCIAL}; Vol 8, No 2; e3 {PSOCIAL}; Vol 8, No 2; e3 2422-619X Couple Satisfaction, Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Fear of COVID-19.
