Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To identify the impacts generated by the pandemic on the mental health of professional nurses. METHOD: Systematic review with meta-synthesis, where a search was performed in the Google academic databases and the Virtual Health Library (VHL/SCIELO). Descriptors in Health Sciences Burnout, professional exhaustion, pandemic and COVID-19 were used, making use of the Boolean operator AND. RESULTS: After conducting the search in the databases mentioned with the listed descriptors, 29 studies were found. A posteriori, the inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, resulting in a final sample of 10 studies. CONCLUSION: Exhaustive workloads, poor working conditions, deficiency in staffing, few material resources, devaluation and low remuneration. These factors, associated with the fear of transmitting the disease to family and friends, social isolation and others increase the risk of developing psychological problems causing deleterious effects on mental health.
