Objective: : To describe Internet-based interventions for the care of mental disorders during the pandemic. Material and method: This was a systematic review. The databases PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, and Virtual Health Library were used. The search strategy used MeSH descriptors, CINAHL Subjects, DeCS: "Adults", "Internet-Based Intervention", and "Mental Disorders" in combination with keywords and Boolean operators. Primary studies were included, in Spanish, English, and Portuguese, between 2019 to 2021, in the context of COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, and/ or the pandemic. References were imported into EndNote. Methodological quality was assessed according to the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). Data were analyzed based on thematic analysis. Results: From a total of 303 articles, six duplicates were eliminated, 295 were eligible and five were included. Two studies showed a positive attitude and disposition towards mobile app interventions, two showed significant decreases in anxiety scores, depression, and increased use of text messaging (mHealth) versus this type of intervention and one showed a greater number of telemedicine visits than conventional visits in patients with severe mental illness. Conclusion: he study found that the predominant internet-based interventions were by text messaging and mobile apps.
