Resumen
Objetivo

El presente estudio tiene por objetivo analizar las percepciones del duelo de los adultos que han perdido a un familiar durante la situación de pandemia en Lima Metropolitana.

Métodos

Se realizó una investigación cualitativa con un diseño de análisis temático reflexivo. Participaron 10 adultos de ambos sexos, de 23 a 54 años, que habían perdido a un familiar producto de la COVID-19 durante el periodo de pandemia, a quienes se aplicó una entrevista semiestructurada.

Resultados

Los resultados evidenciaron que los adultos en duelo a causa de la pérdida de un familiar en la pandemia perciben su duelo en distintos momentos. En primer lugar, perciben la imposibilidad de ver al ser querido debido a las medidas de bioseguridad que impiden acercarse a su familiar. Ello implica un momento de shock e incredulidad; luego se da la liberación de emociones reprimidas, en la que se dan los pensamientos y las emociones disfuncionales; más adelante se tiene la negociación de la carga emocional, periodo en el cual se da una reconciliación con las emociones desbocadas; a continuación, se encuentra el sentimiento de desesperanza, en el cual la persona experimenta tristeza profunda y falta de sentido de la vida; por último, se encuentra una adaptación ante la pérdida.

Conclusiones

Se concluye que la percepción del duelo de los adultos que perdieron a un familiar en la pandemia conforma un ciclo de percepción del duelo ajustado al contexto de pandemia.

Abstract
Objective

The aim of this study was to analyse the perceptions of grief in adults who have lost a family member during the pandemic situation in Metropolitan Lima.

Methods

Qualitative research with a reflexive thematic analysis design was carried out. Ten adults of both sexes, between 23 and 54 years old, who had lost a family member as a result of COVID-19, during the pandemic period, participated in the study. A semi-structured interview was administered to them.

Results

The results showed that adults experiencing bereavement due to the loss of a family member in the pandemic scenario perceive their grief at different times. First, there is the impossibility of seeing their loved one due to the biosecurity measures that prevent them from being with their relative, which entails a moment of shock and disbelief; then there is the release of repressed emotions, where dysfunctional thoughts and emotions occur. Later, there is the negotiation of the emotional burden, a period in which there is a reconciliation with the unbridled emotions; followed by the feeling of hopelessness, in which the person experiences deep sadness and lack of meaning in life. Finally, there is an adaptation to the loss.

Conclusions

It is concluded that the perception of grief in adults who lost a family member in the pandemic forms a cycle of grief perception adjusted to the pandemic context.
