Abstract

This study consists of an integrative review of the literature, which aimed to analyze the manifestation of symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in patients who experienced the hospitalization process due to COVID-19, according to scientific literature. To collect data, the PubMed, LILACS, and Cochrane Library databases were consulted. The inclusion criteria were defined as: clinical trials, published between 2020 and 2023, available in Portuguese, English or Spanish, which address topics related to the prevalence of PTSD associated with hospitalization for COVID-19. The final sample was composed of articles that were detailed through the systematization of thematic axes: 1) PTSD and patients hospitalized for COVID-19; 2) The severity of the COVID-19 disease and PTSD; 3) Social support, psychological impact, and PTSD. Although there is little evidence of the direct effects of hospitalization on patients' mental health, there is a restriction of increased levels of PTSD in patients infected and hospitalized by COVID-19.
