Abstract

The COVID-19 Pandemic has been declared as a public health emergency and the virus already spread around the world. This has an impact on mental health in the community. The systematic review aims to review all research on mitigation to maintain mental health stability in the community facing the COVID-19 pandemic. Article searches were obtained from PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, Cambridge Core, ProQuest, and SpringerLink. The research method uses Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). The search identified 46 articles and used 9 articles that match the criteria. Analysis of 9 relevant articles shows that disaster mitigation was carried out with targets in society, specifically on healthcare workers. Healthcare workers are mostly in the form of education on anti-contagion measures by using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and interventions in the form of training or crisis response services. Disaster mitigation in society takes the form of strengthening crisis center services, education on the applications of a healthy lifestyle, and increasing positive thinking to reduce negative emotions as well as education on limiting information from social media to reduce anxiety and fear related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
