ABSTRACT:
This systematic review of the literature, based on data from Spell and Scielo, deals with the search for publications referring to the mental and behavioral health of public servants from 2018 to 2023. During five years of these publications, it will be understood how work organizations, the medical area and public policies for quality of life have been discussed and implemented. During this period, there was the manifestation of COVID-19. Doctors, teachers, nurses and military police and other public workers showed an increase in the problem of their mental health. Stress factors in work activity have corroborated the appearance of depression, anxiety and burnout. This work is based on the following problem question: what are the main scientific contributions on mental illness among public servants, available in the Spell and SciELO databases in the last 5 years? The main objective is to carry out a systematic review of the literature to identify and analyze the most relevant publications on mental illness among public servants in the Spell and SciELO databases, from 2018 to 2023. The results showed that the publications that deal with mental health in the Scielo and Spell databases are still small and when taken in different groups, there is an interest in the literature for groups in the nursing and medical areas. The year 2020, already in the period of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a greater interest in the disarrangements contained in work activities as a result of the adjustment at work to this new reality.
