Resumen
This study aims to analyze the role of the Occupational Therapist in front of a
population in a situation of psychic suffering in a period of COVID-19 pandemic, thus
addressing the importance of the Occupational Therapist's performance in this
context and showing how mental health impacts on the people's lives and has
aggravations brought about by social isolation. The study was carried out through a
classic literature review of an exploratory nature between the years 2020 and 2022 in
specific Occupational Therapy journals in force in those years. To make this happen
the descriptors mental health, pandemic, psychological distress and COVID-19 were
used in the searches on databases. Four articles were selected to be read in full due
to the scarce publication of papers on the research theme. The results found show
that there is a growing publication on the subject of COVID-19 in Brazil, however,
there is a need to continue research on this subject that involves the work of
Occupational Therapy and the mental health care processes of the population in
relation to the pandemic.
