    Introduction International migration is a social determinant of health. The past decade has seen a large exodus of Venezuelans within Latin America, including Chile. In the past months, the world has been facing the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic and its respiratory disease COVID-19. Objective To explore what factors are associated with feeling prepared to face the COVID-19 pandemic among the Venezuelan population residing in Chile. Methods Cross-sectional quantitative study with an opinion poll design. An online self-reported survey in Spanish and Creole was designed and piloted with experts and international migrants. It was disseminated to various international migrant groups through networks of migrant and promigrant organizations and the Chilean public health care network across the national territory. An effective sample size for analysis of 1690 participants was reached, of which 1008 (60%) were from Venezuela and included in this analysis. Feeling prepared to face the COVID-19 pandemic (yes/no) among Venezuelan migrants was described, as well as relevant variables like sex, level of education, length of stay, healthcare provision, anxiety or depression due to COVID-19, confinement, and evaluation of the quality of the information provided by the COVID-19 government. Results 65% of the Venezuelan participants reported not feeling prepared for the pandemic. Compared to Venezuelan migrants who feel prepared to face the COVID-19 pandemic, migrants who reported not feeling prepared were in a higher proportion female, with secondary education level, had arrived in Chile in the past year, do not have a job but want to work, and belong to the public healthcare provision. Discussion Receiving good quality information on the pandemic and mental health symptoms are important factors associated with feeling prepared to face COVID-19 in Venezuelan migrants in Chile, suggesting that increased attention towards the physical and mental health of Venezuelan migrants in Chile and the region is needed.

    Migrantes venezolanos frente a la pandemia de COVID-19 en Chile: factores asociados a la percepción de sentirse preparado para enfrentarla
    (2020) Cabieses, Báltica; Darrigrandi, Florencia; Blukacz, Alice; Obach, Alexandra; Silva, Claudia
    Sobre la base de una encuesta digital a migrantes internacionales en Chile (1.690 participantes, un 60% de ellos venezolanos), se analizan algunos factores asociados a sentirse preparado ante la enfermedad por coronavirus (COVID-19) entre la población venezolana en ese país. Se estudia la asociación entre dicha percepción y las variables de sexo, nivel educacional, tiempo de estadía en Chile, tipo de previsión de salud, síntomas de ansiedad o depresión debido a la pandemia, cumplimiento del confinamiento y evaluación subjetiva de la calidad de la información proporcionada por autoridades y equipos de salud. El 60% de los participantes venezolanos informaron no sentirse preparados para enfrentar la pandemia. Dicha preparación se asoció positivamente con ser hombre (cociente de probabilidades (OR) = 1,6), haber cumplido la cuarentena (OR = 1,6) y evaluar favorablemente la información recibida (OR = 2,9). Quienes indicaron haber tenido síntomas ansiosos o depresivos en la última semana tendían a sentirse menos preparados (OR = 0,5).
