Abstract

This study aims to understand whether social isolation favors involvement of psychological changes in the world population during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is an integrative review carried out in the databases: Virtual Health Library, National Library of Medicines - Pubmed/Medline, and at the COVID-19 Control Center - JHONS HOPKINS, from February 1st, 2020 to April of 2020, using the descriptors: “mental disorders” and “social isolation” and “COVID-19”. Six articles written in English were selected, published from January to April of 2020, of which five were from China. The psychological changes caused by social isolation, most pointed out were: anxiety, depression and stress. It is inferred that social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic interferes with people's quality of life, and contributes to impairment of mental health.
