Abstract

Objective: To analyze the scientific literature, research that identified the psychosocial impacts generated by the COVID-19 pandemic on health professionals. Method: Integrative literature review carried out in October 2024, in the information bases CINAHL, LILACS, MEDLINE and Scopus. To construct the review, the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA 2020) were used. Results: In the initial search in all selected databases, 2,405 records were identified, 1,735 in CINAHL, followed by 496 in SCOPUS, 166 in LILACS and 08 publications in MEDLINE. 13 studies were selected. The research was carried out using questionnaires and some studies used scales to assess depression, anxiety, stress and resilience. Conclusions: Given the exposure of the results found in the review, it was possible to observe the psychosocial interferences faced by COVID-19. Even though this study highlights the global repercussions of COVID-19, the identification of other impacts beyond mental health, such as socioeconomic and cultural aspects, is important for a broad discussion about the psychosocial conditions that affect health professionals. In this way, this research will contribute to the development of new strategies for coping with its consequences.
