Abstract
RODRIGUES DA SILVA, Roger et al. Effects of social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic on people's mental health. av.enferm. [online]. 2021, vol.39, suppl.1, pp.31-43. Epub Apr 07, 2022. ISSN 0121-4500. https://doi.org/10.15446/av.enferm.v39n1supl.89262.
Objective:
To study the effects of social isolation measures implemented to contain COVID-19 on people's mental health.
Content synthesis:
Integrative literature review conducted in the electronic databases Web of Science, Scopus, and MEDLiNE/PubMed. An increase in feelings related to anxiety and depression, reduced quality of sleep, and concerns about life, health, death and family were observed, coupled with a reduction in satisfaction with life, happiness, and interest in leisure and personal encounters.
Conclusions:
The implications for mental health associated with social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic demand innovative assistance strategies. Public interventions on the dissemination of untrue information about the pandemic are recommended, in addition to the development of more research studies on the topic.
