Objective

To analyze the psychological, social and family dimensions of a health professional quarantined by COVID-19.

Method

Case report. A matrix was used as a daily log to collect information from the three dimensions analyzed. The anonymity of the person was respected at all times.

Results

A case study is presented with the main milestones in the daily life of a health professional during the 14 days of quarantine. In the psychological dimension, feelings of fear and uncertainty in the face of risk are highlighted, in the social dimension the importance of the accompaniment of family and friends who strengthened the adaptability to the process stands out, and in the family dimension the relevance of affective bonds and permanent communication.

Conclusion

The aspects developed in the different dimensions should be considered by those who participate in the management and follow-up of cases in primary care, as they are the possibility of strengthening the neuronal and hormonal mechanism through family and social support. Being a health professional and having knowledge on the subject can generate a greater effect of involuntary isolation related to the risk of COVID-19. This is not only clinical, but also psychological, social and family. In this sense those who manage the cases should consider the integrality in health conditions.
