REPERCUSSÕES DA PANDEMIA COVID-19 NO DESENVOLVIMENTO INFANTIL: SCOPING REVIEW

Abstract

Framework: The pandemic caused by the SARS-COV-2 virus, which began in 2020, caused numerous health challenges for the world population. To control it, it was necessary to implement containment measures, which drastically changed children's daily lives, such as depriving them of interaction with their peers, face-to-face learning and a feeling of security. And, in fact, it is in the interaction between children and the environment that their harmonious development takes place, and if that environment is restricted it can lead to repercussions at a relational, emotional, physical, intellectual and other level. Research Question/Goals: What are the repercussions of experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic on child development? The objective is to map and systematize these repercussions in relevant scientific literature. Methods A scoping review was conducted in accordance with guidance from the Joanna Briggs Institute. 1) Search in MEDLINE and CINAHL, followed by an analysis of the words in the title, abstract and indexed words; 2) Search for keywords and indexed terms in all included databases; 3) Search of bibliographic references of all articles. Afterwards, the corpus under review was organized and analyzed to answer the research question. Chapter organization: Introduction, Methodology, Results, Discussion, Final Considerations. Final considerations. Repercussions were identified on the development of relational skills and coping strategies, and emotion management. Health organizations must be attentive and implement family-centered and partnership-based care plans, involving professionals from the multidisciplinary team. More studies should be conducted to assess the long-term impact on child development, as well as appropriate interventions to be mobilized by health professionals.
