Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: to map in the literature the universities' health promotion actions and strategies in the context of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Method: a Scoping Review, based on the procedures recommended by the Joanna Briggs Institute. Based on these perspectives, the following guiding question was established: which health promotion actions and strategies were implemented in universities with the internal community and its surroundings in the COVID-19 pandemic? The searches were carried out in March 2021 in the databases of public, restricted and gray literature information portals. Results: a total of 38 studies were selected and three categories were elaborated based on them, namely: 1) Actions and strategies for coping with COVID-19 in universities; 2) Inclusive and Social protection actions and strategies for groups vulnerable to COVID-19 in universities; and 3) Health and Well-being Education actions and strategies in the face of COVID-19 in universities. Conclusions: the study evidenced that health promotion actions and strategies in universities become a reality when the proposals find institutional support, inter- and transdisciplinary mobilization and integration with governmental sectors and private initiative, in addition to engagement of the academic population. Several actions were observed in different scenarios, showing social commitment and a critical stance in the face of COVID-19, aiming at a fairer and more sustainable society through knowledge.
