Introdução: A pandemia do SARS-CoV-2, apesar de recente, impactou os sistemas de saúde em todo o mundo, resultando em grande sobrecarga psicológica para os profissionais da saúde atuantes no enfrentamento desta doença. A exposição a fatores estressores desencadeia diversas alterações neurobioquímicas que propiciam o desenvolvimento de psicopatologias como a ansiedade, depressão, Transtorno do Estresse Pós-Traumático e Síndrome de Burnout. Objetivo: o presente artigo busca, através de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, compreender as alterações neurobiológicas que ocorrem em profissionais da área de saúde atuantes na pandemia, devido aos estressores crônicos, bem como os problemas psicológicos associados a tais mudanças. Método: Revisão bibliográfica integrativa, utilizando-se as bases de dados PubMed e SciELO. Resultados: Os profissionais de saúde que atuam no enfrentamento da Covid-19 estão submetidos a situações de estresse agudo e crônico, acarretando no desencadeamento de reações como anormalidades no eixo HPA alterações nas monoaminas; aumento da inflamação; além da diminuição da neurogênese e neuroplasticidade, o que leva ao desenvolvimento de distúrbios psicológicos. Conclusão: Conclui-se que a situação de estresse vivenciada por estes profissionais que atuam no enfrentamento da Covid-19, leva ao desenvolvimento de alterações neurobiológicas, bem como ao aparecimento de quadros mais propícios de psicopatologias.
