Abstract

This study aims to analyze the scientific knowledge about the psychosocial symptoms of long-term Covid, manifested in children and adolescents, considering age, gender, presence of comorbidities and vaccination status. This is a scoping review based on the principles advocated by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). The bibliographical research will be conducted in the following electronic databases: Web of Science and US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health PUBMED - NCB, LILACS and SCIELO. The search will be carried out using the terms Covid long; Psychosocial symptoms; Post-covid Syndrome; Vaccine; Age, comorbidity and sex. The scoping review allows a less rigorous assessment of the quality of the articles, so a practical guide developed by JBI will be used for data analysis. This research does not need to be submitted to the Research Ethics Committee (CEP), since it constitutes a review research
