- Abstract
Objective: Identifying in Brazilian and international scientific literature, the mental health repercussions caused by the new coronavirus (COVID 19) in nurses working on the front line of healthcare systems since the pandemic outbreak in Wuhan. Methods: An integrative literature revision was made in April 2020 into the following databases: Virtual Health Library, Brazil (BVS); Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), USA; Scopus, and CINAHL. Results: Nine papers were included in the final sample; they highlighted the scarcity of material resources in the hospitals and the prevalence of higher levels of mental health suffering in the nurses compared to the other professional workers on the frontline. Conclusion: It is evident that the mental health of nurses handling the Covid-19 pandemic is a topic that needs more attention not only from researchers but also from health managers and other authorities in charge of health policies.
