Implicações da covid-19 na saúde infanto juvenil brasileira para além da infecção: uma revisão de escopo.

Abstract

When infected with the new coronavirus, children, for the most part, do not have the most severe form of the disease. However, the pandemic and its restrictions end up having implications beyond the intrinsic effects of the disease. These repercussions are involved in the most diverse areas: mental health, food wealth, physical well-being, growth, development, quality education, greater exposure to different types of violence. Objective: to map the available scientific evidence about the implications of the pandemic for children and adolescents beyond the infection. Methodology: scoping review whose research question was: “What evidence and information exist about the implications of the covid 19 pandemic for the children and youth public in Brazil?”. The selection of studies took place in July 2022, based on a search in the following scientific databases: Scielo, Portal do Capes and BVS, Google Scholar consultation and manual search in the reference lists of the studies. Inclusion of studies published from December 2019 to July 2022. Results: 9 articles were included. Scientific evidence was summarized in two tables: evidence in the field of mental health and other evidence. Conclusion: given the evidence evidenced in the articles, the impact of the covid-19 pandemic on children and adolescents is demonstrated, however, empirical studies are necessary so that public policy actions are planned for these individuals.
