Resumen
Objetivo: Discutir los impactos de la pandemia da Covid-19 en la vida de las personas con Enfermedad de Alzheimer. Métodos: Se trata de una revisión integradora, realizada de agosto a noviembre de 2021. Se realizó un levantamiento bibliográfico en las siguientes bases de datos: Literatura Latinoamericana y del Caribe en Ciencias de la Salud (LILACS), Base de Datos de Enfermería (BDENF), Análisis y Recuperación de Literatura Médica System Online (MEDLINE), Biblioteca científica electrónica en línea (SciELO) e Índice acumulativo de literatura sobre enfermería y salud relacionada (CINHAL). Para la búsqueda se utilizaron los siguientes descriptores: ''Alzheimer'', ''calidad de vida'', ''pandemia'' y ''Covid-19''. Se incluyeron artículos basados en estudios primarios, publicados en inglés, portugués y español, relacionados con el tema investigado y sin delimitación de tiempo. Se incluyeron seis producciones para la síntesis. Resultados: Los estudios demostraron que hubo impactos negativos en la calidad de vida de las personas con Enfermedad de Alzheimer durante la pandemia da Covid-19. Consideraciones finales: Las personas con Enfermedad de Alzheimer tienen especiales dificultades para enfrentar la pandemia, por lo que no solo corresponde a los familiares y cuidadores prestar una mayor atención, sino que también es necesaria la intervención del gobierno para impulsar programas que atiendan las necesidades de este público.
