Introdução: Demência é uma síndrome clínica decorrente do comprometimento da função cognitiva, cuja incidência e prevalência são acrescidas com a idade, sendo uma das principais causas de perda da independência e autonomia do idoso. Durante a pandemia, idosos com demência formaram grupo de grande vulnerabilidade, sofrendo extenso impacto no manejo clínico de sua doença, gerando consequências em toda conjuntura familiar, principalmente em seus cuidadores. Metodologia: Revisão de literatura integrativa através da busca bibliográfica nas bases: Scielo, Lilacs e BVS . Descritores utilizados: “demência”, “pandemia” e “COVID-19”. Foram encontrados 112 artigos, 82 destes foram descartados por não se relacionarem diretamente com a temática ou não possuírem textos disponibilizados na íntegra . Incluídos nesse estudo artigos que abordassem eixos temáticos das demências e da pandemia e artigos com menos de 10 anos que tratassem do conceito das demências. Resultados: Estudos mostram que a pandemia trouxe limitações em diferentes âmbitos para pacientes com demência e seus cuidadores. A dificuldade no acesso ou conhecimento da tecnologia e a falta de acompanhamento integral geraram redução de confiança no diagnóstico. Além disso, mostraram que o isolamento social pode comprometer o acesso à estimulação cognitiva e sobrecarregar as famílias no cuidado com esse paciente. Conclusão: Dado o exposto, pacientes com demência e seus cuidadores são populações vulneráveis que foram notadamente afetadas durante a pandemia. Esse estudo mostra a necessidade de intervenções em saúde, o manejo de sintomas psicológicos e comportamentais nesses pacientes e a importância de uma rede de apoio aos seus cuidadores.
