RESUMO
Abstract Introduction The concept of social isolation is currently understood as a measure of epidemiological containment that aims to reduce the speed of spread of the disease, enabling health services to prepare their resources to cope with the likely increase in demand, while also seeking to provide additional protection to groups considered to be at higher risk. Objective The present narrative review aims to compile and synthesize the literature related to social isolation produced during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Method This study is a narrative review of the literature on social isolation in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Results 73 publications were included for full-text reading and were classified into the following categories: levels of social isolation, economic effects, family relationships, health system, mental health of the population, and use of technology. Conclusions It is necessary to plan an escalation of responses to the consequences of the pandemic, especially in view of the increased demand on the health sector and social services. The negative effects of social isolation can be prevented by public policies that offer a response to the economic recession, maintenance of social work, encouragement of quality care in mental health services, and community support for vulnerable families.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: The pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has changed the lifestyle of the general population, mainly due to the distancing and isolation measures adopted to contain the spread of the disease. These measures generated a series of stressors, including an increase in domestic violence. OBJECTIVE: To identify the occurrence of domestic violence during isolation resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, its association with issues related to mental health and poorly adaptive personality traits. METHOD: Non-probabilistic study, composed of a sample of 3625 participants who were assessed using the PCL-5, DASS-21, PID-5-BF and AUDIT-C. Instruments were administered on-line from April 22, 2020 to May 8, 2020. RESULTS: 379 (13%) of respondents experienced some type of adverse situation during social distancing. Participants who experienced violence had higher alcohol consumption (p=0.004), greater severity of symptoms related to a diagnosis of PTSD (p <0.001), and greater prevalence of anxiety (p<0.001) and depression (p<0.001) symptoms in relation to those who had no such experiences. They also demonstrated higher PID-5 scores of maladaptive personality traits, such as negative affectivity (p<0.001), distance (p<0.001), antagonism (p<0.001), disinhibition (p<0.001) and psychoticism (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Isolation due to the pandemic is having a great impact on people's mental health, specifically on those who have experienced violence. Together with public agencies and the private sector, strategies should be created aimed at scaling up interventions to mitigate this impact of the pandemic, especially by providing expanded listening spaces in the health and social care sectors.(AU)
INTRODUÇÃO: A pandemia causada pelo novo coronavírus (SARS-CoV-2) alterou o estilo de vida da população em geral, principalmente através das medidas de distanciamento e isolamento adotadas para contenção do avanço da doença. Estas medidas geraram uma série de estressores, dentre eles o aumento da violência doméstica. OBJETIVO: Identificar a ocorrência de violência doméstica durante o isolamento decorrente da pandemia de COVID-19 no Brasil, a sua associação com questões relacionadas à saúde mental e traços mal adaptativos de personalidade. MÉTODO: Estudo não probabilístico, composto por uma amostra de 3625 participantes que foram avaliados através do PCL-5, DASS-21, PID-5-BF e AUDIT-C. Instrumentos aplicados on-line no período entre 22 de abril de 2020 a 08 de maio de 2020. RESULTADOS: 379 (13%) dos respondedores sofreu algum tipo de situação adversa durante o distanciamento social. Os participantes que vivenciaram violência possuem maior consumo de álcool (p=0,004), maior gravidade dos sintomas relacionada ao diagnóstico de TEPT (p<0,01), maior presença de sintomas de ansiedade (p<0,001), depressão (p<0,001), em relação àquelas que não sofreram. Demonstraram ainda possuir, de acordo com o PID-5, escores mais elevados de traços mal adaptativos de personalidade, como afetividade negativa (p<0.001), distanciamento (p<0.001), antagonismo (p<0.001), desinibição (p < 0.001) e psicoticismo (p<0.001). CONCLUSÃO: O isolamento devido a pandemia está causando grande impacto na saúde mental das pessoas, especificamente naquelas que sofreram violência. É necessário, junto ao órgão públicos e privados, criar estratégias visando uma escalada de intervenções relacionadas ao impacto da pandemia, sobretudo ampliando espaços de escuta no setor de saúde e na assistência social.(AU)
INTRODUCCIÓN: La pandemia provocada por el nuevo coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) ha cambiado el estilo de vida de la población en general, principalmente a través de las medidas de distancia y aislamiento adoptadas para contener el avance de la enfermedad. Estas medidas generaron una serie de factores estresantes, entre ellos el aumento de la violencia intrafamiliar. OBJETIVO: Identificar la ocurrencia de violencia doméstica durante el aislamiento resultante de la pandemia COVID-19 en Brasil, su asociación con problemas relacionados con la salud mental y rasgos de personalidad poco adaptables. MÉTODO: Estudio no probabilístico, compuesto por una muestra de 3625 participantes que fueron evaluados mediante la PCL-5, DASS-21, PID-5-BF y AUDIT-C. Instrumentos aplicados on-line en el período comprendido entre el 22 de abril de 2020 y el 8 de mayo de 2020. RESULTADOS: 379 (13%) de los encuestados sufrieron algún tipo de situación adversa durante la distancia social.

También demostraron tener, según PID-5, puntuaciones más altas de rasgos de personalidad poco adaptativos, como afectividad negativa (p<0.001), distancia (p<0.001), antagonismo (p<0.001), desinhibición (p<0.001) y psicoticismo (p<0.001). CONCLUSIÓN: El aislamiento debido a la pandemia está teniendo un gran impacto en la salud mental de las personas, específicamente en quienes han sufrido violencia. Es necesario, junto con los organismos públicos y privados, crear estrategias orientadas a ampliar las intervenciones relacionadas con el impacto de la pandemia, especialmente ampliando los espacios de escucha en el sector salud y la asistencia social.(AU)
