Keywords: Social Mental Health, Students Nursing, Psychosocial Impact, COVID-19, Physical Distancing

Abstract

Objective: to understand nursing students’ experience in relation to social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic. Method: this is a qualitative study, based on the subject’s autobiographical and narrative method. Data collection took place in 2021, through semi-structured interviews, with 29 nursing undergraduatestudents from a university in the interior of São Paulo selected for convenience. Results: the 29 participants were aged between 20 and 33 years old, 22 were between 20 and 23 years old, and only one was male, and 12 of them were in the fourth year of the course, nine in the second year, and eight in the third year. Students experienced countless situations that were different from what they expected, as, upon entering college, their concerns were related to their academic performance and professional future. However, during the pandemic, situations arose with the potential to directly impact their mental health, making it necessary to make adaptations to better address issues related to social distancing and maintaining their psychological well-being. Final considerations: change in routine led undergraduatestudents to look for different ways to better cope with distancing and, thus, avoid harm to mental health.
