THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN BRAZIL AND THE RELATIONSHIPS WITH BEHAVIORAL DISORDERS IN EDUCATORS

an integrative literature review

Abstract

This article sought to investigate the panorama that the academic community already identify in relation to the Covid-19 Pandemic and its consequences for the mental health of educators in Brazil. To this end, a bibliographic survey of published productions on the subject was carried out in the period from 2020 to the first half of 2022. When the research is carried out, a large number of publications related to the context of the Pandemic and Education in general can be noted. It is a very troubled historical period, which deserves prominence and deep analysis. Many articles with the most varied clippings on the topic were found. For the elaboration of this text, researches were selected that made reference especially to the teaching work during the pandemic period in Brazil. According to all the researches reviewed, there is a consensus that the volume of work and the abrupt change without specific training to remote teaching led to overload and an increase in teacher discomfort in general. Behavior disorders such as anxiety, depression and stress, already identified in the teaching career before the pandemic, are strongly present in several studies and reports.
