ISSN: 19811896 DOI: https://doi.org/10.15202/1981896.2020v25n51p370.As pandemias são epidemias de larga escala que se espalham pelo mundo. Nas últimas semanas, a população e os governos de todo o mundo têm dedicado esforços para frear o rápido avanço da pandemia de Covid-19, que infectou pessoas em 169 países. Além de mortes, problemas econômicos e o colapso dos sistemas de saúde dos países afetados, o espalhamento da pandemia provocou pânico generalizado. No entanto, notavelmente pouca atenção tem sido dedicada aos fatores psicológicos que influenciam a propagação da infecção pandêmica e o sofrimento emocional associado e a ruptura social e as perdas associadas aos fatores de vulnerabilidade psicológica que contribuem para a disseminação de doenças e angústias. O presente artigo objetivou analisar e refletir sobre o medo, a ansiedade e a falta do rito da finalização da vida, afetando psicologicamente quem perde seus entes queridos sem o direito a despedida, perpetuando o luto. Muitos não estão sendo aceitos socialmente, desencadeando sofrimentos secundários e colaterais, os denominados lutos marginais e necessitam de urgentes ações de políticas públicas de apoio psicológicos pois, notadamente pouca atenção tem sido dedicada a este sofrimento.SimPandemics are large-scale epidemics that spread across the world. In recent weeks, people and governments around the world have devoted efforts to halt the rapid advance of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has infected people in 169 countries. In addition to deaths, economic problems and the collapse of health systems in the affected countries, the spread of the pandemic caused widespread panic. However, notably little attention has been paid to the psychological factors that influence the spread of pandemic infection and the associated emotional distress and social disruption and losses associated with the psychological vulnerability factors that contribute to the spread of illness and distress. This article aimed to analyze and reflect on fear, anxiety and the lack of the rite of ending life, psychologically affecting those who lose their loved ones without the right to parting, perpetuating the mourning. Many are not being accepted socially, triggering secondary and collateral suffering, the so-called marginal mourning and need urgent actions of public psychological support policies because, remarkably little attention has been devoted to this suffering

Insomnia during the COVID-19 outbreak in Brazil

ISSN: 21792739 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21727/rs.v11i1.2336The outbreak of COVID-19 among humans in Brazil and its spread around the world is strongly impacting mental health. Health problems such as anxiety, depression, insomnia and fear were the most related. High levels of stress during the day can impair quality and time of sleep. The purpose of this article was to update, through a bibliographic search, the effects of the pandemic on sleep disorders, with insomnia being the most related. A systematic search had been carried out in the main databases: Lilacs, Bireme and PubMed. The languages used in the search were Portuguese and English, from articles published this year. Using the following keywords: Sleep quality, COVID-19, Insomnia, Cognitive behavioral therapy. The concern about financial and political uncertainties, feelings of impotence and fear of self-contamination and of family members are factors that corroborate with the worsening of the sleep quality of the population and health professionals’ working on the front lines of the fight against the pandemic, leading to increased cases of insomnia. Behavioral Cognitive Therapy, hypnotherapy and social interaction mediated by Web conferencing tools are the best ways to treat these symptoms at the moment. Even so, the brazilian literature on the subject is extremely scarce, making it an extremely relevant subject for future research.Si

Recommendations for prevention of maternal-infant health in pandemia COVID19 through medical protocols

ISSN: 1981-1896 versão online. DOI: https://doi.org/10.15202/1981896.2020v25n51p316.O conhecimento sobre a COVID-19, a infecção pelo novo coronavírus (SARS-CoV-2), vem aumentando rapidamente à medida que a pandemia se alastra e o número de acometidos cresce de forma exponencial em nível global. Embora as vias de transmissão não estejam ainda absolutamente determinadas, está bem estabelecida à transmissão pessoa a pessoa. Contudo, ainda há muitas lacunas no conhecimento sobre a epidemiologia e o quadro clínico da Covid-19, incluindo período mais exato de incubação, possibilidade de transmissão a partir de portadores assintomáticos e índice de transmissibilidade. A preocupação com a infecção na gestação e suas repercussões para a gestante e para o concepto é grande e as evidências científicas sobre o comportamento da infecção nesse grupo são esparsas e o ritmo constante de informações novas e conflitantes tem sido um desafio geral para todas as especialidades médicas, incluindo a terapia intensiva neonatal. Ainda não está comprovada a transmissão vertical durante a gestação e nem no período neonatal, pela amamentação. Por outro lado, o consenso chinês é contrário à evidência disponível, ao afirmar que existiria a possibilidade de transmissão vertical do COVID-19 no período intrauterino, com o potencial de malformação, também durante o parto e na amamentação, portanto, deveria ser contraindicada, mesmo em casos apenas suspeitos. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi, por meio da literatura científica, baseada no período de 15 de dezembro de 2019 a 18 de abril de 2020, analisar e informar a situação atual dos conhecimentos dos potenciais efeitos adversos da COVID-19 no decurso da gravidez e nos recém-nascidos.SimKnowledge about COVID-19, infection with the new coron avirus (SARS-CoV-2), has been increasing rapidly as the pandemic spreads and the number of people affected grows exponentially. Although the routes of transmission are not yet absolutely determined, person-to-person transmission is well established. However, there are still many gaps in knowledge about the epidemiology and clinical picture of COVID-19, including a more accurate incubation period, the possibility of transmission from asymptomatic carriers and the rate of transmissibility. The concern with infection during pregnancy and its repercussions for the pregnant woman and the fetus is great and the scientific evidence on the behavior of the infection in this group is sparse and the constant rhythm of new and conflictin information has been a general challenge. Medical conditions, including neonatal intensive care. Vertical transmission is still not proven during pregnancy or in the neonatal period, due to breastfeeding. On the other hand, the Chinese consensus is contrary to the available evidence, stating that there would be the possibility of vertical transmission of COVID-19 in the intrauterine period, with the potential for malformation, also during childbirth and breastfeeding, therefore, it should be contraindicated, even in just suspect cases. The objective of the present study was, through scientific literature, based on the period from December 15, 2019 to May 24, 2020, with 4,993,470 people infected in 169 countries, resulting in 365,213 deaths on May 24, 2020, analyze and inform the current situation of knowledge of the potential adverse effects of COVID-19 during pregnancy and in newborns
