Objective:
To map the scientific evidence on the care offered to health service users with Long Covid-19.
Method:
This is a scoping review based on the methods of the Joanna Briggs Institute. Primary studies were included, in Portuguese, English and Spanish, published between December 2019 and June 2023, in the Virtual Health Library, Web of Science, Scopus, PUBMED, SciELO and LITCovid LongCovid databases.
Results:
Of the ١٣ articles analyzed, it stands out that the care provided to patients with Long Covid is associated with drug prescription, indication of physical exercises, telerehabilitation and physiotherapy.
Conclusion:
A fragmentation was identified in the care provided to users of health services with Long Covid, with care directed only at isolated symptoms, without addressing the biopsychosocial care that people with this condition need.
