“…In mid-June, the northeastern region had an increase in the number of cases. Only from July 2020, 3 PQ, the midwestern region, which at the beginning of the pandemic was little affected by the outbreak, had a significant increase in the number of cases, followed by the southern region [ 53 ].

Due to COVID-19, a huge amount of incorrect information has been disseminated on the internet, which may interfere with the disease’s advance. This study analyzes the behavior of the Brazilian population during the pandemic, employing queries of infodemic data searched on Google Trends and relating them to socioeconomic and political indicators in the country. The z-score technique was used to standardize the data; and for multivalued analysis, dendrograms and the Elbow method detected similar patterns among Brazilian states. The result was divided into three analyses. In the analysis of the research trend of infodemic terms, the themes “Prevention and Beliefs” and “Treatment” prevailed. In the exploratory analysis, socioeconomic indicators related to income and education, as well as government programs, showed no impact on infodemic searches; but the results suggest that the states that supported the Brazilian president in the 2018 election, where he obtained more than 50% of the votes, were the states that most searched for infodemic terms: a total of 46.58% more infodemic searches than in the other states. In the multivalued analysis, the socioeconomic indicators used showed similarities in the patterns, highlighting a cluster containing 77% of all Brazilian states. The study concludes that denial about the pandemic and the influence of political leadership can influence infodemic information searches, contributing to a disorganization in the control of disease control and prevention measures.

“…The northeast region was hit by an increase in the number of cases by mid-June. Already evaluating the central region of Brazil (Midwest), which was slow to have significant numbers of deaths and cases of COVID-19, only in the 3rd quarter, showed a significant increase in cases, followed by the most extreme region (South) ( Mota & Teixeira, 2020 ).

Background Since the beginning of the new coronavirus pandemic, there has been much information about the disease and the virus has been in the spotlight, shared and commented upon on the Internet. However, much of this information is infodemics and can interfere with the advancement of the disease and that way that populations act. Thus, Brazil is a country that requires attention, as despite the fact that in almost two years of pandemic it has shown a devastating numbers of deaths and number of cases, and generates false, distorted and malicious news about the pandemic. This work intends to understand the attitudes of the Brazilian population using infodemic queries from the Google Trends search tool and social and income variables. Methods Data from infodemic research carried out on Google Trends, between January 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021, with socioeconomic data, such as income and education, were unified in a single database: standardization and exploratory and multivalued techniques based on grouping were used in the study. Results In the analysis of the search trend of infodemic terms, it is clear that the categories of Prevention and Beliefs should stand out in Brazil, where there is a diverse culture. It is followed by the COVID-19 Treatment category, with treatments that were not those recommended by the authorities. Income transfer programs and information on socioeconomic variables did not have much impact on infodemic surveys, but it was observed that states where President Bolsonaro has more supporters had researched more infodemic information. Conclusions In a country as geographically large as Brazil, it is important that political authorities go to great lengths to disseminate reliable information and monitor the infodemic in the media and on the internet. It was concluded that the denial of the pandemic and the influence of political leaders influenced the search for infodemic information, contributing to a disorganization in the control of the disease and prevention measures.

RESUMO Trata-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo e analítico com abordagem qualitativa, que ob- jetivou discutir a perspectiva do paciente sobre a assistência à saúde para Covid-19 no estado do Rio de Janeiro. Participaram 160 pacientes com sintomas e/ou diagnóstico de Covid-19 que procuram assistência à saúde no estado. Os dados foram coletados por meio de um questionário eletrônico autoaplicável no período de julho a outubro de 2020, sendo a amostra caracterizada com auxílio do software SPSS versão 26; e os dados referentes à perspectiva dos pacientes sobre a assistência à saúde, submetidos à análise temática de conteúdo. Dentre os resultados, emergiram três categorias: Satisfação do paciente sobre a assistência à saúde; Perspectivas do paciente diante das condutas e práticas clínicas no atendimento à saúde; Sentimentos expressados pelo paciente ante o atendimento à saúde, sintomas e diagnóstico para a Covid-19. Destacou-se a ausência de apoio e suporte emocional para o paciente, além de déficits dos recursos humanos, materiais e estrutura, interferindo no gerenciamento do cuidado de saúde. Considera- se que compreender a perspectiva dos pacientes atendidos nos serviços de saúde poderá contribuir para a melhoria da qualidade do atendimento nos serviços de saúde.
