Abstract
Objective: To analyze the psychosocial impacts of COVID-19 among health professionals. Methods: Integrative Literature Review. A search was carried out in the Pubmed and LILACS electronic databases. The keywords “COVID-19” were used; "Health professional"; "mental health"; “psychosocial impact” combined and paired with the help of the Boolean AND operator. Results: The 12 studies included in this integrative review were indexed in the Pubmed (41.6%) and LILACS (58.3%) databases published between 2020 and 2023. Regarding methodological aspects, the cross-sectional study design predominated (25%). and meta-analysis (25%), followed by systematic review research (16.6%), integrative review (16.6%), prospective study (8.3%) and qualitative study (8.3%). Health professionals are exposed to illness, depression, anxiety, anguish and changes associated with sleep. In addition, suicidal behavior, alcohol and drug abuse are reported. Final considerations: Most of the analyzed studies show the population of nurses as most affected by negative feelings. In addition, overwork, fear of illness, fear of transmitting the virus, little family and professional support and weaknesses associated with management were the main risk factors considered for illness.
