Resumo

As medidas de distanciamento social implementadas para frear a propagação do novo coronavirus podem ter um resultado desastroso e desencadear efeitos psicológicos negativos. Os estudantes universitários parecem estar sendo particularmente impactados pelas restrições decorrentes do COVID-19. Nesse cenário, o objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar os efeitos psicológicos do distanciamento social decorrente do COVID-19 em estudantes de graduação. Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa da literatura, realizada a partir da busca de artigos científicos nas bases de dados PubMed, Scielo e Science Direct, publicados no período de 2020 e 2021, usando os descritores “Coronavirus”, “Covid-19”, “Social Isolation”, “Mental Health” e “Students”. Os resultados sugerem que estudantes universitários já apresentam tendência a desenvolverem transtornos psiquiátricos e que o surto de COVID-19 acentuou ainda mais o sofrimento mental nesta população, indicando que o distanciamento social decorrente da pandemia atual pode ter forte influência sobre a saúde psicológica e que mulheres e pessoas mais jovens têm risco aumentado para o desenvolvimento de transtornos. No entanto, não é possível concluir que, por si só, o distanciamento social seja capaz de induzir ao sofrimento psíquico, denotando a necessidade de maiores estudos que considerem este aspecto.
