Popis: Introduction. COVID-19 which has respiratory difficulty as one of the most common signs. In addition, due to the multiple variables involved in the management of the disease, research shows the great impact on the population's mental health, mainly due to anxiety. Objective. To analyze and measure the relationship between anxiety and dyspnea in patients infected with coronavirus. Method. This is a quantitative and qualitative study, carried out based on an integrative review in the journals indexed in the ScienceDirect, PubMed and Web of Science databases, in the period between 2019 and 2021. Most research did not answer the research question in the review, showing only anxiety or only breathing difficulties among patients with coronavirus. Result. The literature shows a correlation between anxiety and breathing difficulties among patients infected with coronavirus, but in a more qualitative perspective, showing few measurable results. In the study by Turan et al., 18.2% of the patients with symptoms of anxiety and who were infected with the new coronavirus also showed dyspnea. Conclusion. There is a correlation between the factors that need further analysis by research that manages the direct relationship between them.
