description Introducción: el uso inconsistente de medidas preventivas de protección y la falta de adherencia de las directrices de la Organización Mundial de la Salud con respecto al coronavirus está asociado con el aumento de la morbilidad y la mortalidad, así como el de los costos de atención de la salud. Objetivo: El propósito de este estudio fue examinar el papel de las preocupaciones relacionadas con COVID-19, creencias de conspiración e incertidumbre en adherencia a las medidas preventivas en Irán. Método: Se aplicó una encuesta virtualmente. La muestra fue de 599 personas voluntarias. Se evaluó la angustia asociada con las posibles consecuencias anticipadas de la pandemia de COVID-19 y el bloqueo, el grado de acuerdo con las creencias de conspiración, el nivel de incertidumbre específica de la situación y los autoinformes de cumplimiento de medidas preventivas. Resultados: La mayoría de las personas reportan angustia y preocupación significativas asociadas con la pandemia de COVID-19. Los resultados muestran que las preocupaciones provenientes de la pandemia de COVID-19 están relacionadas con el incumplimiento de las medidas preventivas, a través de creencias de conspiración y sentimientos de incertidumbre asociados a la situación de COVID-19, incluso después de tomar en cuenta el género, la educación y el nivel socioeconómico percibido. Conclusiones: Los hallazgos implican que es probable que elegir la violación de las reglas de seguridad se ha vuelto contraproducente y muy probablemente ha causado agotamiento emocional. Los autores discuten las implicaciones teóricas y prácticas de estos resultados.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the role of COVID-19 related worries, conspiracy beliefs, and uncertainty in adherence to preventative measures in Iran. Method: In a large survey with data collected online from a volunteer sample of 599 individuals, assessments were made of the distress associated with the anticipated potential consequences associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown, extent of agreement with conspiracy beliefs, level of situation-specific uncertainty, and self-reports of compliance with preventive measures. Data were analyzed to explore paths leading to nonadherence to safety guidelines proposed by the medical authorities. Results: A large majority of individuals report significant distress and worry associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Results indicate that increasing levels of situation-specific uncertainty intolerance, as well as conspiracy beliefs regarding the coronavirus, are associated with non-compliance with the advised protocols. Specifically, the results show that worries related to the COVID-19 pandemic are linked to non-compliance with preventive measures through conspiracy beliefs and feelings of uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 situation even after gender, education, and perceived socioeconomic status were controlled. Conclusions: Findings imply that emotional exhaustion is likely to have set in and become counterproductive as people choose to violate safety guidelines. The authors discuss the theoretical and practical implications of these results.application/pdf10.21500/20112084.53672011-79222011-2084https://hdl.handle.net/10819/28928https://doi.org/10.21500/20112084.5367engUniversidad San Buenaventura - USB (Colombia)https://revistas.usb.edu.co/index.php/IJPR/article/download/5367/4776Núm. 2 , Año 2022 : Vol. 15, No. 23322215International Journal of Psychological ResearchAlper, S., Bayrak, F., & Yilmaz, O.
