Introdução O impacto da pandemia COVID-19 na saúde mental de pessoas com experiência de doença mental não é claro. Os confinamentos permitiram aos utilizadores
continuar a aceder a Estruturas Comunitárias de Reabilitação Psicossocial através do uso da telessaúde. Contudo, com base no impacto de pandemias anteriores, é possível que a pandemia de COVID-19 possa ter um impacto elevado na saúde mental. No entanto, a literatura sugere que a resiliência pode aumentar os comportamentos de promoção da saúde, diminuindo este impacto. Objetivos Compreender se a resiliência tem sido um fator protetor de sofrimento psicológico em pessoas com experiência de doença mental inseridas em Estruturas Comunitárias de Reabilitação Psicossocial em Portugal; Métodos 139 pessoas com experiência de doença mental integradas em estruturas comunitárias de reabilitação psicossocial em Portugal responderam a um inquérito online que incluiu dimensões relacionadas com a saúde mental, bem-estar e satisfação com a vida, durante a pandemia e o confinamento; Resultados Os resultados apontam para níveis elevados de resiliência e bem-estar mental dos indivíduos. A resiliência mostra uma correlação positiva com o bem-estar mental e a satisfação com a vida e uma correlação negativa com a pontuação da EADS-21. Conclusões A resiliência tem sido um fator protetor de sofrimento psicológico durante a pandemia. A terapia ocupacional pode desempenhar um papel fundamental na promoção da resiliência. No entanto, mais investigação neste campo deverá ser feita no futuro.

Lockdowns allow users to attend Community Based Psychosocial Rehabilitation Facilities using telehealth.
