Psychosocial Aspects of Quarantine, Social Isolation and Social Distance

To discuss the psychosocial aspects of the quarantine, the distance and social isolation during the new coronavirus pandemic, they represent a risk to the mental health and the aspects that act as a protective factor for the psyche health. This was made through integrative review of publications in the last five years, the bibliographic databases PubMed, Lilacs and Scielo, also consid-ering the psychoanalytical classics of the literature. It was observed that the deprivation of social interaction and the restricting freedom can represent for a lot of people a real blow to their narcissism, an affront to their free will on ac-count of the unconscious meaning that this experience can be. The resilience and the sense of empathy can foster the well-being of people and encourage attitudes of care and protection of the other. Finally, this study contributes as a theoretical tool to scientifically support strategies for mental health prevention and health promotion of the psyche.
