Analysis of individuals' feelings as a result of social isolation

Abstract

With the advent of the pandemic in China in December 2019, caused by the new coronavirus SARS-COV-2, the world began to experiment with a new way of life, in order to minimize the spread of the virus and try to return as quickly as possible to a normal life. As a result of the change in the population's way of life, there was an increase in the incidence of emotional disorders and conflicts in children. This study aims to analyze the feelings of a group of people due to social isolation. This is a qualitative field research, with residents of the Federal District, Brazil. The 13 survey participants answered an exam with 3 open questions on Google Forms, and content analysis was carried out according to Bardin. It was identified among the most prevalent feeling that of anxiety and the fear that this reality will never end. Good and positive feelings about the current context were not very prevalent. We conclude that there is a need to look more closely at those close to us and to offer active attention, in order to minimize these conflicts.
