The concept of social isolation is currently understood as a measure of epidemiological containment that aims to reduce the speed of spread of the disease, enabling health services to prepare their resources to cope with the likely increase in demand, while also seeking to provide additional protection to groups considered to be at higher risk.
The present narrative review aims to compile and synthesize the literature related to social isolation produced during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
This study is a narrative review of the literature on social isolation in the context of the COVID- 19 pandemic.
73 publications were included for full-text reading and were classified into the following categories: levels of social isolation, economic effects, family relationships, health system, mental health of the population, and use of technology.
It is necessary to plan an escalation of responses to the consequences of the pandemic, especially in view of the increased demand on the health sector and social services. The negative effects of social isolation can be prevented by public policies that offer a response to the economic recession, maintenance of social work, encouragement of quality care in mental health services, and community support for vulnerable families.
社会隔离的概念目前被理解为一种流行病学控制措施，旨在降低疾病的传播速度，使卫生服务部门能够准备好资源来应对需求的可能增加，同时也寻求为被认为风险较高的群体提供额外的保护。
本叙述性综述旨在汇编和综合 2020 年 COVID-19 大流行期间与社会隔离相关的文献。
本研究是对 COVID-19 大流行背景下社会隔离文献的叙述性综述。
共纳入 73 篇全文阅读的文献，并分为以下几类：社会隔离程度、经济影响、家庭关系、卫生系统、人口心理健康以及技术使用。
有必要计划扩大对大流行后果的应对措施，特别是考虑到卫生部门和社会服务需求的增加。通过提供对经济衰退的应对、维持社会工作、鼓励精神卫生服务中的优质护理以及为弱势家庭提供社区支持等公共政策，可以预防社会隔离的负面影响。
