 Abstract:

The impact due to the coronavirus worldwide has generated in the general population an imbalance in their well-being, especially in mental health, since the degree of vulnerability resulting from the pandemic has been too high, so the objective of the research is to determine the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the administrative staff of a hospital center in North Lima. This is a cross-sectional quantitative-descriptive study, with a total population of 150 participants in the study. In the results we observed that 18.4% (n=30) have a high psychological impact, 58.8% (n=80) have a medium psychological impact and 22.8% (n=40) have a low psychological impact. In conclusion, shady medical care should be conducted for the mental health care of the personnel who are working in hospital centers.
