• Abstract:

  In 2019, world society experienced the first case of a disease caused by the new coronavirus (Covid-19). This scenario has become challenging for the whole of society, but especially for health professionals, who work on the front line against Covid-19. With the current context of health systems affected worldwide, it is necessary to have access to information and knowledge about the impacts that the pandemic has caused in the lives of these professionals. This way, the objective of the present work is to provide a better understanding of the impacts of Covid-19 on the levels of psychological well-being of these professionals through the analysis of positive psychology, searches were carried out in the following databases: Scielo, Scholar Google, Virtual Library at Health (BVS) and Pubmed. High levels of stress, anxiety and depression were observed in this population and these results justify the importance of mental health interventions aimed at these people during and after the pandemic. An alternative to consider is intervention in the theoretical-practical field of positive psychology in the pandemic context, as this area seeks to develop psychological well-being and contribute to human development based on its capabilities, such as resilience.
