摘要：
People with severe mental disorders are at increased risk of dying from COVID-19 and more susceptible to the impacts of the pandemic. This study aims to understand how the families of patients with severe mental disorders followed up in community peer support groups experienced the beginning of the pandemic in Brazil and how they fared during the period of restricted physical contact. Family members (n = 82) and patients (n = 27) belonging to community groups in Rio de Janeiro responded to an online survey that included assessments of quality of life and well-being along with open-ended questions. Thematic analysis of the answers showed that the majority of remarks were positive, despite the concerns, fears, and feelings common at the time. Positive feelings were also mentioned significantly. These findings demonstrate that this population was adaptive and resilient in coping with the restrictions on physical contact. The main concerns and difficulties of this population are discussed. © Associação Brasileira de Psicologia 2022.
