Abstract
Las personas con COVID persistente (CP) son unas de las más afectadas por la
pandemia del COVID-19. Aunque este fenómeno es un problema de salud a nivel
internacional las personas enfermas a menudo son invisibilizadas y desligitimizadas. El
objetivo de esta investigación es visibilizar las situaciones de violencia simbólica a las
que se enfrentan las personas con CP. Se ha utilizado una metodología de metasíntesis
cualitativa, integrando narraciones literales de personas con CP publicadas en artículos
científicos de Scopus, Web of Science y Discovery. Constatamos que, aunque en las
conclusiones de los investigadores no se menciona explícitamente el concepto de
violencia simbólica, muchos de los testimonios recopilados coinciden con algunas de las
diez dimensiones que definen dicho concepto. Concluimos que la vivencia individual de
cada una de estas dimensiones provoca situaciones de injusticia epistémica y de
indefensión.
People with Long COVID (LC) are among the most affected by the COVID-19
pandemic. Although this phenomenon is a global health issue, those affected are often
rendered invisible and delegitimized. The aim of this research is to make visible the
situations of symbolic violence faced by individuals with LC. A qualitative
metasynthesis methodology has been employed, integrating literal narratives from
people with LC published in scientific articles from Scopus, Web of Science, and
Discovery. We find that, although the concept of symbolic violence is not explicitly
mentioned in the researchers' conclusions, many of the collected testimonies align with
some of the ten dimensions that define this concept. We conclude that the individual
experience of each of these dimensions results in situations of epistemic injustice and
helplessness.
