COVID-19, being a worldwide crucial event and evidently a great stressor has increased both the prevalence and incidence of these. Therefore, it is evident that COVID-19 and mental health disorders are closely related. Moreover, several coping strategies exist to endure said disorders such as depression and anxiety, which are used by the population to confront stressors, and healthcare workers are not the exception. This was an analytical cross-sectional study, conducted from August to November 2022, via an online survey. Prevalence and severity of depression, anxiety, and stress were assessed via the DASS-21 test, and coping strategies were assessed via the CSSHW test. The sample consisted of 256 healthcare workers and of those, 133 (52%) were males with a mean age of 40.4 \u00b1 10.35, and 123 (48%) were females with a mean age of 37.28 \u00b1 9.33. Depression was prevalent in 43%, anxiety in 48%, and stress in 29.7%. Comorbidities were a significant risk factor for both depression and anxiety with an OR of 10.9 and 4.18, respectively. The psychiatric background was a risk factor for depression with an OR of 2.17, anxiety with an OR of 2.43, and stress with an OR of 3.58. The age difference was an important factor in the development of depression and anxiety. The maladaptive coping mechanism was prevalent in 90 subjects and was a risk factor for depression (OR of 2.94), anxiety (OR of 4.46) and stress (OR of 3.68). The resolution coping mechanism was a protective factor for depression (OR of 0.35), anxiety (OR of 0.22), and stress (OR of 0.52). This study shows that mental health disorders are highly prevalent among healthcare workers in Mexico and that coping strategies are associated with their prevalence. It also implies that not only occupations, age, and comorbidities might affect mental health, but also the way patients confront reality and the behavior and decisions they take towards stressors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph20054230","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,28]],"date-time":"2023-02-28T02:28:09Z","timestamp":1677551289000},"page":"4230","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Mental Health Disorders and Coping Strategies in Healthcare Workers during the COVID-19 Pandemic: An Analytical Cross-Sectional Study in Southeastern Mexico"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5075-6824","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jes\u00fas Maximiliano","family":"Granados Villalpando","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiometabolism Laboratory, Research Center, Health Sciences Academic Division (DACS), Juarez Autonomous University of Tabasco (UJAT), Villahermosa 86040, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guadalupe del Carmen","family":"Baeza Flores","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiometabolism Laboratory, Research Center, Health Sciences Academic Division (DACS), Juarez Autonomous University of Tabasco (UJAT), Villahermosa 86040, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jorge Luis","family":"Ble Castillo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Metabolic Disease Biochemistry, Research Center, Health Sciences Academic Division (DACS), Juarez Autonomous University of Tabasco (UJAT), Villahermosa 86040, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karla del Socorro","family":"Celorio M\u00e9ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiometabolism Laboratory, Research Center, Health Sciences Academic Division (DACS), Juarez Autonomous University of Tabasco (UJAT), Villahermosa 86040, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Isela Esther","family":"Ju\u00e1rez Rojop","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lipid Metabolism, Research Center, Health Sciences Academic Division (DACS), Juarez Autonomous University of Tabasco (UJAT), Villahermosa 86040, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Antonio","family":"Morales Contreras","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiometabolism Laboratory, Research Center, Health Sciences Academic Division (DACS), Juarez Autonomous University of Tabasco (UJAT), Villahermosa 86040, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Viridiana","family":"Olvera Hern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Metabolic Disease Biochemistry, Research Center, Health Sciences Academic Division (DACS), Juarez Autonomous University of Tabasco (UJAT), Villahermosa 86040, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sergio","family":"Quiroz G\u00f3mez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Sciences Academic Division (DACS), Juarez Autonomous University of Tabasco (UJAT), Villahermosa 86040, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sergio de Jes\u00fas","family":"Romero Tapia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Sciences Academic Division (DACS), Juarez Autonomous University of Tabasco (UJAT), Villahermosa 86040, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jes\u00fas Arturo","family":"Ru\u00edz Qui\u00f1ones","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Tropical and Emerging Diseases, High Specialty Regional Hospital \u201cJuan Graham Casas\u00fas\u201d, Villahermosa 86126, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8228-1314","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Crystell Guadalupe","family":"Guzm\u00e1n Priego","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiometabolism Laboratory, Research Center, Health Sciences Academic Division (DACS), Juarez Autonomous University of Tabasco (UJAT), Villahermosa 86040, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"334","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.2020.242","article-title":"Mental health before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in two longitudinal UK population cohorts","volume":"218","author":"Kwong","year":"2020","journal-title":"Br.
