Resumen
Objetivo: Comprender el impacto de la pandemia de COVID-19 en la salud mental de las personas con un enfoque en el desarrollo y empeoramiento del Trastorno Obsesivo Compulsivo (TOC). Métodos: Se trata de una revisión bibliográfica integrativa en la que se utilizó un período de cinco años, de agosto de 2024 a 2019. Resultados: Se constató el agravamiento de conductas compulsivas y el aumento de pensamientos intrusivos e irracionales como consecuencia del aislamiento, intensificación de los rituales de limpieza y estrés relacionado con el miedo a contraer el SARS-Cov-2 virus. Además, se observó el surgimiento de nuevas dimensiones de obsesiones y compulsiones asociadas a los niveles de ansiedad de estos pacientes en relación con la intensidad de su miedo a contraer la enfermedad. Consideraciones finales: Puede se considerar que los individuos se vieron gravemente impactados por el estrés, la incertidumbre y el miedo desencadenados por la interrupción de la normalidad, por lo que se potenció el desarrollo de trastornos de ansiedad, como el trastorno obsesivo compulsivo (TOC), es fundamental mantener el apoyo psicológico, ofreciendo proactivamente apoyo a grupos vulnerables a través de estrategias alternativas, como la telemedicina y la terapia online.
