Introduction: Identifying the level of adaptation gives patterns of the effect that the COVID-19 pandemic had on older adults, as well as determining if there was a relationship with stress.
Objective: To analyze the relationship between the level of adaptation and perceived stress in older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic in three municipalities of the State of Hidalgo.
Material and methods: Cross-sectional and correlational study conducted in a non-probabilistic convenience sample of 375 older adults. The study was approved by the ethics committee and participants signed a letter of informed consent before participation. The Perceived Stress Scale was used to measure the degree of stress of the participants. The Adaptation of the Active Older Adult instrument was used, which assesses physiological adaptive modes, self-concept, interdependence, and role function.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 68.7 years with a standard deviation of ± 7.8 years, 53.3% of the participants were female. A low correlation was observed between the level of adaptation and perceived stress.
Discussion: 58% of older adults report stress; in addition, high physiological adaptation and role integration are observed, but with differences in self-concept and interdependence, possibly impacted by COVID-19.
Conclusion: There is a relationship between the level of adaptation and stress in older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic in three municipalities of the State of Hidalgo.
