Abstract
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic, due to social isolation, changed the model of in-person classes, making emergency remote teaching the only way to continue the training process in nursing. The study aims to identify the main impacts of emergency remote teaching offered during the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of nursing students. Materials and method: This is an integrative review study, guided by the question: "What are the impacts of emergency remote teaching on the mental health of nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic? The search was carried out in the Virtual Health Library and National Library of Medicine - PubMed, resulting in 8 articles after applying the filters and exclusion criteria. Results and discussion: Scientific evidence revealed that nursing students, due to emergency remote teaching, experienced unique challenges that directly impacted their emotional well-being, as they presented unpleasant feelings/sensations driven by social isolation, interruption of practical activities, lack of technological support, among others. Such feelings/sensations were: anxiety, stress, fear, overload, frustration, abandonment, worry, irritability, exhaustion, depression, discomfort, mental exhaustion and professional disqualification. Final considerations: offering/strengthening psychological and technical support, expanding technical simulation laboratories and curricular flexibility for supervised care practices are some strategies to be implemented by higher education institutions in order to ensure the development of the skills necessary for training. of nursing students who experienced the COVID-19 pandemic.
