“…Since the very beginning of the pandemic, authors [7,8] have claimed that older people (aged 60 and over), especially those already suffering from a chronic disease, were at a high risk of contracting the virus and that the COVID-19 pandemic could be considered a geriatric health emergency [9]. Isolation and restrictive practices were implemented to protect older people from infection, but these restrictions had negative impacts on their health and well-being [10][11][12]. This has been defined as the social connectivity paradox, as social distancing improves protection against COVID-19 exposure but also increases isolation, loneliness, and depression [13].…”

The aim of the present study is to understand the experiences of isolation and strategies used to cope with it among older people living at home during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. More specifically, the roles of media and online technologies were also explored. Semistructured interviews were conducted via telephone between March and April 2020 with 30 people aged 72–94 years old living in Northern Italy. The thematic analysis identified six thematic areas: changes in daily life, emotions, social networks, exploited resources and strategies, use of media, and view of the future. Older people faced the emergency in heterogeneous ways; some were able to take advantage of their own residual resources and of social support, whereas in other cases, isolation exacerbated existing weaknesses. Technology and media were useful for reducing loneliness and fostering social contacts, but people with age-related impairments or low digital literacy presented many difficulties in approaching new technologies. Moreover, the overabundance of information could also increase anxiety and feelings of threat. Given the impact of social isolation on older people’s well-being, it is critical to identify and strengthen personal resources and social support strategies that may help older people cope with the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…A dinâmica da sociedade acerca da saúde levantou o viés acerca do comportamento sexual e bem estar, podendo vir a se tornar um problema de saúde pública (Leiroz;D'Abreu, 2021). A sobrecarga de tarefas durante esse período de isolamento físico aumentou com a rede de apoio familiar distante, escolas fechadas, trabalho remoto, cuidado dos filhos, casa e maridos, as mulheres acabam se colocando em segundo plano e o cuidado delas se tornou algo dispensável (Rana, et al 2021).…”

Objetivo: Clarificar possíveis elementos influenciadores na qualidade e autonomia sexual feminina durante a pandemia do COVID-19. Métodos: Revisão integrativa baseada na pergunta norteadora: “Como está a situação da sexualidade feminina durante a pandemia da COVID-19?”. Buscando nas bases de dados online Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). Foram incluídos artigos disponíveis em português, nos anos de 2017 a 2021 e que abordassem o tema estudado, sendo excluídos aqueles que não se relacionavam com o tema proposto e não apresentavam o texto completo disponível. Após o processo de análise, 18 publicações foram selecionadas para compor a discussão e apresentação desta revisão. Resultados: Observa-se precariedade na disposição de trabalhos sobre o assunto, considerando que essa temática seja recente e em andamento. A pandemia em 2019, desenvolveu mudanças no comportamento, convivência, autoconhecimento, prática sexual e reprodução. Esse contexto global escancarou a problemática de que as diretrizes do SUS não conseguem ser realizadas em excelência, causando um déficit perigoso de informação. Considerações finais: Nota-se a importância em estabelecer meios efetivos de incentivo ao empoderamento feminino, persistindo na necessidade de cuidados em saúde que leve em consideração a conjuntura socioeconômica e cultural da mulher.
