Resumo
Objetivo: Entender o impacto da pandemia de COVID-19 na saúde mental dos indivíduos com foco no desenvolvimento e no agravo do Transtorno Obsessivo-Compulsivo (TOC). Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica integrativa na qual foi utilizado um corte temporal de cinco anos, de agosto de 2024 a 2019. Resultados: Notou-se a piora de comportamentos compulsivos e o aumento de pensamentos intrusivos e irracionais em decorrência do isolamento, da intensificação de rituais de limpeza e do estresse relacionado ao medo de contrair o SARS-CoV-2. Além disso, foi observado o surgimento de novas dimensões de obsessões e compulsões associadas aos níveis de ansiedade desses pacientes com relação a intensidade do medo de contrair a doença. Considerações finais: Pode se considerar que os indivíduos foram gravemente impactados pelo stress, incerteza e medo desencadeados pela interrupção da normalidade, de modo que o desenvolvimento de transtornos de ansiedade, como o transtorno obsessivo compulsivo (TOC), foram potencializados, sendo fundamental manter o acompanhamento psicológico, oferecendo de modo proativo apoio aos grupos vulneráveis por meio de estratégias alternativas, como a telemedicina e a terapia online.
