Mental Health and Confinement Survey Data from Spain and Spanish Speakers, 2020-2022

A dataset compiling scientific evidence on the impact of COVID-19 confinement on mental health from 2020 to 2022. It includes psychological variables assessed with internationally validated instruments: anxiety (GAD-7), depression (PHQ-9), perceived stress (PSS-10), resilience (CD-RISC), subjective well-being (SWLS), and loneliness (UCLA Loneliness Scale). The dataset, created by Juan Moises de la Serna Tuya, follows FAIR principles and includes sociodemographic and confinement condition variables.

Use Cases

• Modeling relationships between confinement conditions and psychological distress based on variables like perceived stress and loneliness.
• Analyzing demographic disparities in mental health outcomes during the pandemic based on sociodemographic variables.
• Training predictive models for anxiety or depression risk using scores from validated instruments like GAD-7 and PHQ-9.
• Studying psychological resilience factors during crises based on CD-RISC scale data.

Strengths

• Uses internationally validated psychological instruments (GAD-7, PHQ-9, PSS-10, CD-RISC, SWLS, UCLA Loneliness Scale).
• Adheres to FAIR principles and includes comprehensive documentation (README, CODEBOOK, METHODOLOGY, LIMITATIONS, ETHICS).
• Includes sociodemographic and confinement condition variables alongside psychological assessments.
• Has a clear temporal coverage from 2020 to 2022.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to its scope in Spain and Spanish-speaking populations.
