Objective: to identify in the scientific literature on health sciences the prevalence of depression in elderly people in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and its relationship with other variables. Method: integrative review carried out in November 2023, with publications from the years
2020 to 2023, in the MEDLINE, LILACS, IBECS, BDENF, Index Psicologia and SciELO databases. Result: The sample with 27 publications, 6 articles in national magazines and 11 in international ones; regarding the design, 19 were cross-sectional, 7 longitudinal/cohort and one presented
results as cross-sectional/longitudinal. All studies identified some percentage of depression in the studied population and longitudinal research demonstrated an increase in prevalence during the pandemic. Conclusion: It was identified that there was a relationship between depression and the pandemic in elderly people, with results related to the context studied. It is suggested that post-pandemic monitoring be maintained, with interventions to reduce depression and the development of interventions in the presence of traumatic events.
