Resumen
Las mujeres hacen parte de la primera línea de atención no solo desde el ámbito de la salud, sino en la economía del cuidado, razón por la cual suelen ser más susceptibles a la angustia por el contagio, desencadenando consecuencias en la salud mental que podrían extenderse a largo plazo, incluso después de terminada la pandemia; con el fin de presentar los hallazgos sobre los efectos para la salud mental de las mujeres en el periodo de pandemia por Covid-19, se presenta una revisión sistemática que da como resultado la existencia de un incremento en la sintomatología asociada a la depresión, la ansiedad y el estrés postraumático en las mujeres pertenecientes a la población general, así como problemas de insomnio y estrés en profesionales de salud del género femenino por el contacto directo con casos sospechosos o confirmados de Covid-19. Identificar los grupos vulnerables a la pandemia e invertir esfuerzos en mejorar el bienestar físico y psicológico de dicha población, disminuiría los problemas de salud mental crónicos de la población en general, dado que las mujeres suelen ser el soporte de las familias y la sociedad
