Resumen

Esta investigación trae una revisión integradora sobre el tema "edadismo durante la pandemia COVID-19", buscando responder a la pregunta de si hubo un brote de discriminación por edad durante la pandemia o solo se hicieron visibles los estereotipos ya presentes en la sociedad. La revisión siguió los pasos dispuestos en el protocolo PRISMA - Elementos Clave para Informar Revisiones Sistemáticas y Metaanálisis y se seleccionaron 34 artículos entre los meses de agosto a octubre de 2020 y abril a junio de 2021. Se observa un recrudecimiento de estereotipos ya presentes contra el grupo de edad compuesto por personas mayores, lo cual fue tratado de manera homogénea. Las personas mayores fueron retratadas como una carga para la sociedad y ampliamente asociadas, principalmente por gobiernos, profesionales de la salud, medios de comunicación y redes sociales, con el declive, la inutilidad y la dependencia, actitudes que reforzaron los enfrentamientos intergeneracionales, los prejuicios y la discriminación. Sin embargo, también surgieron manifestaciones de empatía, en contraste con estas posiciones. Es de destacar que, en un mundo donde las vulnerabilidades sociales, el acceso a la atención y la determinación social de enfermarse se han vuelto especialmente visibles por la pandemia, es importante enfrentar con firmeza el edadismo en todas sus formas, ofreciendo esperanza a los grupos en desventaja social. Finalmente, destacamos el escaso interés que despertó el tema en la literatura académica nacional, siendo mucho más analizado y discutido fuera de Brasil, como se observa en esta revisión.
