Introdução: Na sequência do estado de emergência de saúde pública devido à propagação
do coronavírus SARS-CoV-2, impuseram-se medidas restritivas de contacto que levaram ao
isolamento social. A pandemia por COVID-19 provocou um grande impacto ao nível do
isolamento social nos idosos em toda a sociedade com consequências específicas ao nível
da saúde mental.
Objetivo: Mapear a evidência disponível sobre o impacto do isolamento social durante a
pandemia por COVID-19 na saúde mental do idoso.
Metodologia: Com base nas recomendações do Joanna Briggs Institute, foi desenvolvida
uma Scoping Review. Os artigos foram selecionados através de uma lista de verificação
PRISMA-ScR, no período de publicação de 2019 a 2021, nos idiomas português, inglês e
espanhol. Dois revisores independentes realizaram a análise de relevância dos artigos, e a
extração e síntese dos dados.
Resultados: De 724 artigos, 29 foram incluídos nesta revisão, com identificação de áreas que
evidenciam o impacto do isolamento social na saúde mental do idoso: restrição de atividades,
alterações nas relações sociais, impacto na autonomia do idoso, manifestações das
alterações na saúde mental, fatores de vulnerabilidade, estratégias adotadas para combater
o impacto na SM saúde mental e o impacto positivo do isolamento social.
Conclusões: O isolamento social tem impacto na saúde mental do idoso, tendo sido
identificado maioritariamente efeitos negativos. A saúde mental influencia o estado de saúde
de uma comunidade, pelo que o isolamento social determina o estado de saúde deste grupo
etário.
Palavras-chave: impacto, isolamento social, saúde mental, idoso, COVID-19.
