PSYCHOSOCIAL AND MENTAL HEALTH ASPECTS IN THE FACE OF SOCIAL DISTANCE DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Resumo
Introduction: SARS-CoV-2 causes the disease known as COVID-19. One of the most effective ways to control the pandemic is social distancing, which directly affects people's psychosocial and mental health conditions. Thus, the objective of this article was to discuss measures on how to deal with these aspects in the face of social distancing. Outline: Reflection article based on scientific literature, as well as documents from the Brazilian Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization, conducted with a time filter of the last 5 years. Results: It is common, with social isolation, that people harbor negative feelings and emotions. Talking, reading, and watching are ways of improving the situation. Children spend more time at home, needing measures that can better subsidize these moments; the elderly become more anxious, angry, stressed, agitated, requiring more dialogue; and health professionals are more susceptible to these demands due to being at the frontline of facing the pandemic. Implications: Reinforce the importance of distancing and give support to the subjects. Therefore, a remote call center can be created, as well as training professionals to better deal with this personal situation and with other individuals.
