Abstract: Mental health worldwide was in crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic, facing situations that compromised their lives and that of their families. In response, people showed negative factors such as depression, anxiety, and stress. Therefore, the research objective is to determine the nursing care in the mental health of an underserved population in San Juan de Lurigancho. This is a quantitative, descriptive-cross-sectional study, with 480 participants who answered a survey with sociodemographic data and the depression, anxiety, and stress scale. The results show that 39.8% had normal depression, 13.5% mild depression, 27.1% moderate depression, 4.8% severe depression, and 14.8% extremely severe depression. In conclusion, coping strategies must be implemented for young people and adults, allowing them to maintain their mental health in the face of risky situations that compromise their lives and that of their families.
