Abstract

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic had extreme consequences in public health and the global economy, mainly representing overcrowding of several hospitals and other health services, which affected health workers. Objective: To study the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of health professionals in a comprehensive and multidisciplinary manner, to efficiently understand the factors that aggravate the impasse, in addition to identifying possible solutions to the problem. Methodology: This study is an integrative literature review, carried out through bibliographic research on the PubMed and Virtual Health Library platforms, combining the health descriptors "Health Professionals", "Mental Health" and "COVID-19 ", in addition to the use of the Boolean operator ''AND'' to identify observational research that related the increase in mental disorders in the group of health professionals with the chaotic scene of the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: Data were extracted from 9 articles containing cross-sectional surveys with reports from a total of 8365 participants. We found that anxiety and depression were the most reported disorders, followed by stress and mental exhaustion. Discussion: The main factors involved in the analyzed scenario can be understood as exposure to the new coronavirus, insufficiency of protective equipment, concern for the health of family members, and uncertainties about the future due to the nature of uncertainty arising from the pandemic, among others. Conclusion: The situation of the COVID-19 pandemic, by submitting health professionals to an even more rigid and exhaustive routine, in addition to enhancing the impact of social and personal factors that already exist and inherent to this working-class, was directly responsible for the fact, due to a greater development of symptoms of mental disorders, such as anxiety and depression, in addition to psychological exhaustion in the studied group.
