Fysiskt, psykiskt och socialt välbefinnande under covid-19 : En kvalitativ litteraturstudie om i vilken mån Sveriges covid-19-strategi under våren och sommaren 2020 tagit hänsyn till olika hälsoaspekter

Sammanfattning: In March 2020 WHO classified the coronavirus Covid-19 as a pandemic. Sweden took a different approach than most countries and let most parts of society stay open. This has gotten much criticism around the world. The main purpose of this essay is to examine to which degree this strategy took health aspects, such as psychical health, mental health, social health and domestic violence, into consideration. A theory of Sweden’s strategy as an individualistic approach will be applied and set against WHO’s definition of health as ”a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. A qualitative literature review of Sweden’s strategy indicated that different health aspects have been taken into consideration, especially regarding what measures have not been done or measures which have been removed. It’s also been clear that different groups received different amounts of consideration. The most distinct difference was between different age-groups.
