Abordagem multiprofissional no cuidado do paciente pediátrico infectado por Covid-19: revisão sistemática

Abstract

Introduction: In 2019, numerous cases of pneumonia of unknown origin were observed in China. After studies and research, the World Health Organization diagnosed the cause as “coronavirus disease 2019” or COVID19. Due to the rapid spread in a short period of time, the disease was considered an international public health emergency. Both adults and children suffer from the consequences, symptoms and sequelae left by the disease. Therefore, the great need for the performance of a multidisciplinary team, allied to combat the negative effects caused by the COVID-19 infection, is visible. Methodology: The study was a systematic review, with a search for articles carried out in the electronic databases Pubmed, LILACS, SciELO and CAPES. “Multidisciplinary team”, “pediatrics”, “morbidity”, “COVID-19”, their respective correspondents in English and Spanish were used as descriptors. Results: In total, 317 articles were found, where after reading the title and abstract, 215 articles were excluded because they did not fit the purpose of the research. A total of 95 articles were analyzed in full, of which 87 did not answer the research question, whether they were points of view or literature reviews. Then, 8 articles were selected. Discussion: The impact on the health of the individual with COVID-19, whether mild or more severe, requires a multidisciplinary look, particularly when the health system seeks to provide comprehensive care. In the articles found, there was a predominance of Medical work, followed by Physiotherapy and Nursing, thus highlighting the need for more centers to act in front of pediatric patients with COVID19. Conclusion: Articles covering this audience are still scarce, evidencing the need for increased research involving the subject and also greater action by different professional centers in the face of the demands of the disease.
