Abstract:

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the mental health of health professionals, who worked directly in health services focused on the care of patients affected by the disease, became a fundamental issue to be considered, given the various consequences that this action generated for these professionals. The aim of this article was to understand the challenges and demands pointed out by health professionals in terms of support to deal with emotional and physical exhaustion, as well as the challenges faced by them, who worked on the so-called front line during the Covid-19 pandemic. The qualitative methodological approach was based on semi-structured interviews carried out in an online environment with these professionals, after the first months of the pandemic. The hero role in which these professionals were placed, even if only in the media discourses, soon gave space for the difficulties of these professionals and of work relationships to appear: stress, fear and the desire to be heard. Marcel Mauss\' Gift theory was introduced considering that new ways of reading and interpreting work relationships in health contribute to necessary and urgent reformulations of the context in which they are currently found, aiming at mental health and, more broadly, the integral health of the healthcare professionals.
