Introduction: The pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 has increased the magnitude of mental illnesses such as depression, not only in the general population, but also in health personnel. However, in Peru the prevalence is not known and the associated factors for developing depression in health personnel are not known. Objective: To determine the prevalence and identify the factors associated with depression in health personnel, in the context of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Material and Method: An analytical cross-sectional study was carried out between the months of May-September in health establishments. A sample of 136 health workers were included and a survey was applied to collect the information. Depression as a dependent variable was measured using the Zung self-report scale. Finally, using STATA, univariate, bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the associated factors. Results: The prevalence of depression was 8.8% CI 95% (4.64-14.90), likewise, the antecedent of having a family member or friend died from COVID-19 with a p value of 0.017 and OR of 6.78 (CI: 1.39-32.90). On the other hand, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) was found to be a protective factor against the development of depression with p value 0.003 and OR of 0.03 (CI: 0.004-0.32). Conclusions: Approximately 1 in 10 among health professionals and technicians developed depression during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in this study. In addition, the history of having relatives or friends killed by COVID-19 was negatively associated with depression and the use of PPE was identified as a protective factor for depression.
