Introduction. Aging people living in nursing homes are one of the most vulnerable groups in the COVID-19 pandemic. The measures for COVID-19 prevention may influence the well-being of institutionalized people. Goals. To identify studies that allow us to understand the well-being of aging people living in nursing homes given compliance with the infection prevention and control measures for COVID-19. Methods. Integrative literature review according to the PCC strategy (population, concept, and context) in which P corresponds to aging people under the infection prevention and control measures for COVID-19, C is Well-being and C is nursing homes. We consulted MEDLINE, CINAHL, Pubmed, SCOPUS, and Web of Science databases. Data collection took place in March 2021. Preferred Reporting Items for Transparent Reporting of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guided articles identification and selection. The quality assessment followed Joanna Briggs International's critical appraisal tool. Results. We identified six articles as assessed the well-being of institutionalized aging people during the pandemic. The results suggest that infection prevention and control measures implemented in nursing homes may affect the well-being perceived by aging residents. They experience loss of human contact and the loss of space for circulation, with cognitive decline, loss of functional capacity, emotional condition, and loneliness. Conclusions. The infection prevention and control measures implemented in nursing homes in the COVID-19 pandemic appear to influence negatively residents' well-being.
