Abstract(s)
A pandemia de COVID-19 tem causado enormes mudanças na vida das pessoas em todo o
mundo. O medo associado a uma doença transmissível grave, assim como as principais
medidas de controlo da pandemia, como o uso de máscara, o distanciamento social e o
isolamento, limitam a quantidade e a qualidade das interações sociais. Assim, foi conduzida
uma revisão sistemática da literatura para investigar o impacto das medidas de controlo da
Covid-19 na saúde mental de adultos e adolescentes, em artigos publicados até o dia 13 de
novembro de 2020. Foram pesquisadas, a partir dos termos: “Covid-19”, “Coronavirus”,
“2019-nCoV”, “psych*”, "mental*", "emotional", "distanc*", "quarantine", "isolation",
"confinement", "containment" e seus correspondentes em português e espanhol, as bases
de dados PubMed e Scielo, além de pesquisa manual em outras fontes. A busca inicial
encontrou 146 artigos, dos quais 41 foram incluídos nesta revisão. Os principais resultados
encontrados foram o aumento da incidência de sintomas depressivos, ansiosos e de stress,
seguidos, com um aumento menor da taxa de incidência, de preocupação com a saúde,
Perturbação de Stress Pós-Traumático, hostilidade, medo, angústia, sensação de solidão,
problemas de sono e outros. Alguns estudos longitudinais já publicados reforçam estes
achados. Além disso, ser mulher, ser jovem e morar só foram apontados como fatores de
risco dentro do contexto pandémico. Como fatores protetores foram apontados a prática de
desporto, atividades como estudo e trabalho, possuir relações interpessoais satisfatórias e
estratégias de coping, como autocontrolo, resolução de problemas, reavaliação cognitiva e
cognição racional da situação como forma de enfrentamento. Desse modo, os achados
indicam que as medidas de isolamento e distanciamento social já causaram um impacto
negativo na saúde mental, que poderá agravar-se com a continuação da pandemia e a
necessidade de manter por muito tempo as medidas de controlo que limitam a quantidade
e a qualidade das interações sociais.
COVID-19 pandemic has caused huge changes in the lives of people around the world. The fear associated with a serious transmissible disease, as well as key measures to control the pandemic, such as wearing masks, social distancing, and isolation, limit the quantity and quality of social interactions. Therefore, a systematic literature review was conducted to investigate the impact of Covid-19 control measures on the mental health of adults and adolescents, in articles published until November 13, 2020. Research was carried out based on the terms: "Covid-19", "Coronavirus", "2019-nCoV", "psych*", "mental*", "emotional", "distanc*", "quarantine", "isolation", "confinement", "containment" and their correspondents in portuguese and spanish, on the PubMed and Scielo databases, as well as manual search in other sources. The initial search found 146 articles, which 41 were included in this review. The main results were the increased incidence of depressive symptoms, anxiety, and stress, followed, with a lower increase in the incidence rate, by health concerns, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, hostility, fear, anguish, feelings of loneliness, sleep problems and others. Some longitudinal studies that were already published reinforce these findings. In addition, being a woman, being young and living alone were identified as risk factors within the pandemic context. As protective factors were pointed out the practice of sport, activities such as study and work, having satisfactory interpersonal relationships and coping strategies, such as self-control, problem solving, cognitive reassessment and rational cognition of the situation. Thus, the findings indicate that isolation and social distancing measures have already caused a negative impact on mental health, which may worsen with the continuation of the pandemic and the need to maintain for a long time the control measures that limit the quantity and the quality of social interactions.
