ABSTRACT:
The distribution of health and disease follows a social gradient, in which certain population groups are more vulnerable due to disparities in social determinants, i.e. the circumstances in which people live, work and grow up. The COVID-19 has constituted a serious public health problem of the highest priority, highlighting the importance of understanding the influence of these determinants on the spread of the virus. In these contexts, community health and public health nursing face the challenge of caring for particularly vulnerable populations. The objectives of this review are to identify and systematize knowledge about the social determinants that contribute to vulnerability to COVID-19, answering the research question: What are the social determinants that aggravate vulnerability to COVID-19? The method was an integrative literature review, carried out between October and December 2020, consulting the MEDLINE Complete and CINAHL Complete databases (via EBSCOhost).
