Resumo
Objetivo: sistematizar os fatores estressores relacionados às mudanças no trabalho durante a pandemia e as implicações para a saúde mental dos trabalhadores da Atenção Primária à Saúde no período pós-pandêmico.
Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura nas bases de dados BVS, CAPES Journals, PubMed, SciELO, ScienceDirect e Web of Science, com uma pontuação igual ou superior a 80%, de acordo com a lista de verificação do Critical Appraisal Skills Programme.
Revisão da Literatura: foram incluídos 17 estudos, os quais indicam que, durante a pandemia, os trabalhadores enfrentaram estressores como aumento das jornadas e do absenteísmo, adaptação a novas tecnologias, escassez de recursos, altos níveis de ansiedade, depressão e estresse, além de implicações sociais negativas, como discriminação e estigmatização, que contribuíram para níveis elevados de Burnout e outros problemas de saúde mental. No período pós-pandêmico, observa-se a persistência de altas prevalências dos agravos à saúde mental, indicando a natureza duradoura dos impactos.
Conclusão: os achados demonstram que os estressores organizacionais e psicossociais durante a pandemia continuam a repercutir negativamente na saúde mental dos trabalhadores da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) evidenciando a necessidade de políticas de apoio e intervenções contínuas voltadas para o bem-estar desses profissionais.
