Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic puts pressure on public health systems in the world since 2020. This article aims to discuss working conditions in Primary Health Care (PHC) in Brazil, also dialoguing with Primary Health Care (CSP) in Portugal in the pandemic scenario. For this, datathe research “Working conditions of health professionals in the context of Covid-19 in Brazil” (FIOCURZ-RJ) are presented, for further discussion with the report produced by “Unidades de Saúde Familiar - Associação Nacional (USF-AN)” about CSP in Portugal. In Brazil, in the sample of 3,895 PHC health professionals, it was noticed: multiple employment relationships (50.7%), lack of institutional support (60.6%) and specific training (66.4%), with fake news and the lack of political cohesion among health authorities, with significant changes in the mental health of these Workers (95.3%). In Portugal, the increase in working hours and the presence of Burnout Syndrome among USF´s professionals stood out. Therefore, the pandemic significantly impacted the health and daily work of health professionals in PHC at Brazil and Portugal. However, the Brazilian context was more adverse due to fake news and divergences in the conduct of the fight against the pandemic, mainly because of the actions and negationism of the federal government.
