Abstract

NEVES, André Luiz Machado das et al. Psychology in facing the pandemic in Amazonas: Organization, prevention and response actions. Estud. psicol. (Natal) [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.1, pp.105-116. ISSN 1413-294X.  https://doi.org/10.22491/1678-4669.20210011.

The new coronavirus pandemic is one of the biggest disasters in recent decades, a global public health issue. Considering that the role of emergency and disaster psychology is essential in psychological support, this study sought to analyze the main characteristics of mental health actions in coping with the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic carried out by two public health higher education institutions in Amazonas. This is an investigation of a qualitative, cross-sectional, and documentary nature based on the following axes: organization, prevention and response. The social commitment of educational institutions in working in a network, in an ethical, political and solidary way was perceived in the framework of the collapse of health services in Amazonas.

Keywords : covid-19; psychology; crisis intervention; universities.
