Resumo
A COVID-19 é uma doença causada pelo coronavírus SARS-CoV-2, em que o quadro clínico de pacientes pode variar desde infecções assintomáticas até quadros respiratórios graves. Apesar da quarentena constituir uma importante estratégia para interromper a rápida disseminação da COVID-19, sua manutenção por um longo período pode ter impacto psicológico importante nas pessoas isoladas. O início de um período de quarentena implica em mudanças radicais no estilo de vida da população podendo afetar tanto a saúde mental quanto a saúde física das pessoas. Objetivo: Investigar os efeitos das medidas de restrição da pandemia de COVID-19 na saúde física e mental em mulheres adultas. Materiais e Método: Participaram do estudo 9 mulheres acima de 18 anos de idade, com ensino superior completo. Foram realizadas entrevistas em profundidade com as participantes a partir de um roteiro semiestruturado. As entrevistas foram gravadas em áudio e posteriormente transcritas para análise. Os dados foram analisados a partir da análise de conteúdo. Resultados: A partir da escuta e análise das entrevistas, quatro categorias surgiram como resultado: 1) Sensações, emoções e reações intensificadas; 2) Mudança de rotina no trabalho: home office; 3) Intensificando relações e 4) Enfrentamento à pandemia. Essas categorias retratam os principais efeitos encontrados na saúde física e mental dessas mulheres em decorrência da pandemia, como o medo de se infectar e sair de casa, crises de ansiedade decorrente da sensação de insegurança e de falta de proteção, aumento do estresse familiar, sentimentos de tristeza e de desamparo e dificuldades encontradas na mudança de rotina. Conclusão: A partir da escuta das participantes, apreendeu-se que os efeitos da pandemia da COVID-19 extrapolam a área da saúde no sentido epidemiológico e biomédico. Eles permeiam em diferentes aspectos de nossa sociedade revelando-se a importância da escuta qualificada como ferramenta para ampliação do conhecimento nessa área.
COVID-19 is a disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. The clinical condition of patients can vary from asymptomatic infections to severe respiratory conditions. Although the quarantine is an important strategy to stop the fast spread of the virus, isolating for a long period can cause psychological impact on those who are taking part on it. Beginning a quarantine period implies on radical changes in the population's lifestyle, which may affect both people’s mental and physical health. Objective: To investigate the effects of COVID-19 pandemic restriction measures on physical and mental health in adult women. Materials and Method: For data collection, nine women participated in the study, all of them were over 18 years old and hold a graduate degree. The participants were interviewed following a half-structured script, previously determined, which aimed to gather a in depth view of their thoughts. The interviews were audio-recorded and these recordings were later transcribed for analysis though the content analysis. Results: The analysis of the interviews resulted in four categories: 1) Intensified sensations, emotions and reactions; 2) Change of work routine: home office; 3) Intensifying relationships and 4) Dealing with the pandemic. These categories show the main effects of the pandemic on the physical and mental health of these women, such as the fear of being infected, anxiety crisis as a result of feeling insecure and non-protected, increase on the stress levels in their family, feelings of sadness and helplessness, and trouble in changing their routine. Conclusion: The interview with the participants demonstrated that the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic transcends the epidemiological and biomedical aspects of the health sector. These effects permeate different aspects of our society, revealing the importance of qualified listening as a tool to expand knowledge in this area.
