Abstract
Introduction: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), presented itself as a disease with high potential for contagion and that quickly became a public health emergency, requiring the adoption of some circulation and sanitary measures in order to contain the progress of the disease. These changes and uncertainties of the disease promote great psychological pressure, which can trigger psychological problems. With this, Online Social Networks (RSO) proved to be facilitators of communication and information sharing, promoting a support network, externalizing the beliefs of individuals and coping strategies. Objectives: The objective was to analyze the manifestation of beliefs about the pandemic of COVID-19 among Facebook users in the country. Methods: This study obtained its data through the search with the descriptors "COVID-19", "coronavirus" and "quarantine" in open pages and groups, which addressed the issues in question and presented a minimum number of 50 thousand likes / members / followers on the Facebook site (http://facebook.com.br). The comments were collected and transformed into two textual corpus analyzed using the Iramuteq software using the similarity analysis method, making it possible to verify the connection between the words present. Results: With the similitude analysis, the first corpus called “Humor” presented the terms: father, friend and quarantine as central and connected words. The second corpus called "Information" presented the central words: god, son and person. Conclusion: Through this analysis of the manifestations of beliefs in Online Social Networks in face of the pandemic of COVID-19 in Brazil, it was possible to draw a look in the light of social behavior in the face of a period of global health crisis.
