Abstract
Resumen: Millones de personas hacen uso del internet para la búsqueda de aspectos relacionados a las ciencias y la salud, en plataformas que dan acceso a gran cantidad de información. Esta diversidad de canales de comunicación ha contribuido a la difusión de mensajes generados por fuentes no autorizadas, además de creencias, comentarios u opiniones del colectivo. Este exceso de información, denominado infoxicación, lleva al individuo a un estado de fatiga que le imposibilita procesar la información, desencadenando ansiedad y estrés. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar la existencia de infoxicación digital asociada a la pandemia del Covid 19. Se pone en evidencia un ciclo de emociones negativas que perjudican la salud mental de los usuarios, que además influye en la reducción de comportamientos responsables, como el distanciamiento social, requerido para afrontar la crisis sanitaria que la pandemia impone.
