Resumen

A pandemia de COVID-19 afetou as interações sociais de pessoas idosas. O estudo teve como objetivo analisar a influência da pandemia de COVID-19 nas redes de suporte social das pessoas idosas. Constitui-se como uma revisão narativa, com base em artigos científicos publicados entre 2020 e 2022, selecionados na base de dados Web of Science. Os descritores foram: “social relationships”, “social networks”, “social ties”, “social support networks” e “support networks”, combinados com “aged”, elderly” e “COVID-19 Pandemic”. Os resultados foram submetidos à análise temática de conteúdo. A amostra final foi composta por 23 artigos. A análise de conteúdo dos resultados encontrou as categorias temáticas: Redes de suporte social pré-pandemia e seu impacto durante o período pandêmico; Fatores diretamente relacionados às pessoas idosas que influenciaram os comportamentos das redes de suporte social durante a pandemia; Repercussões da pandemia sobre as redes de suporte social de pessoas idosas. Os resultados indicam que a inclusão digital e o fortalecimento das redes comunitárias foram estratégias cruciais para minimizar os efeitos negativos da pandemia.
