The concept of social isolation is currently understood as a measure of epidemiological containment that aims to reduce the speed of spread of the disease, enabling health services to prepare their resources to cope with the likely increase in demand, while also seeking to provide additional protection to groups considered to be at higher risk. The present narrative review aims to compile and synthesize the literature related to social isolation produced during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. This study is a narrative review of the literature on social isolation in the context of the COVID- 19 pandemic. 73 publications were included for full-text reading and were classified into the following categories levels of social isolation, economic effects, family relationships, health system, mental health of the population, and use of technology. It is necessary to plan an escalation of responses to the consequences of the pandemic, especially in view of the increased demand on the health sector and social services. The negative effects of social isolation can be prevented by public policies that offer a response to the economic recession, maintenance of social work, encouragement of quality care in mental health services, and community support for vulnerable families.

Team coaching is a promising way to advance a shift from the classical leader to a coach who leads his/her interprofessional colleagues. It is acknowledged as an effective instrument to reinforce leaders' roles but is rarely used in the health-care sector. This paper aims to present the team leader coaching programme (TLCP), designed to strengthen team leaders by implementing coaching tools into their work routine. The TLCP was designed based on the evaluated intervention on patient-centred team development, an expert workshop and a literature search. It addresses leadership styles, self-reflection, role clarity, attitude, moderation techniques and coaching tools with a focus on systemic questions. It was implemented as a train-the-trainer concept, in two training groups including 27 participants from 12 clinics ("multi-clinic" group) and another in-house training group ("single-clinic" group) including 15 participants from one clinic. There were differences in the evaluation of the training between the group that received an inhouse training ("single-clinic" group) and the group that received a workshop in a group of professions from different clinics ("multi-clinic" group) with a tendency for a more positive evaluation by the "multi-clinic" group. The TLCP is a promising programme to potentially improve teamwork in rehabilitation clinics, as it provides team leaders with coaching tools they can use in their work routine without being dependent on external coaches. It is characterized by a reflective stance, which seems to be highly necessary to optimally fulfil the role of a team leader.
