ABSTRACT
The social isolation of the new coronavirus pandemic has brought several negative
effects to the elderly population as they demonstrate several weaknesses arising from
the aging process. This aging process makes the quality of life of the elderly unfeasible
as they undergo physical and psychological changes resulting in dependence on third
parties, and with social distancing there was the inability of assiduous monitoring of
these elderly people. The pandemic process of covid-19 in which the world faced also
developed not only diseases and physical sequelae, but also aimed at mental health,
resulting in stress, anxiety, panic syndrome and depression. The general objective of
this study is to understand the richness of social isolation in the life of the elderly in
their quality of life, and with specific objectives to identify nursing care for this
population in time of a pandemic, to distinguish the factors that facilitated the contagion
of covid-19. to the elderly, and finally to identify the risks and sequelae of this pathology
in the elderly. The research methodology is characterized as an integrative literature
review, collecting information in the Google Scholar, Scientific Journals, LILACS and
SciELO databases, using as Descriptors in Health Sciences: pandemic, mental health,
aging process, social isolation, physiology of aging, covid-19, including publications in
Portuguese and English, with time limits from 2012 to 2022 for articles. The results of
the research indicate that the elderly were and are vulnerable to covid-19 due to their
limitations through old age, being considered a risk group because they suffer from the
most serious impacts of covid-19 and even reach death, but with nursing care and its
guidelines regarding the new coronavirus, the means for prevention and health
promotion bring benefits to the quality of life and the reduction of these risks. The final
considerations are consistent with these findings, pointing out that the elderly are a
vulnerable group to this pathology and its consequences such as social isolation.
