0152/2020 - A saúde dos profissionais de saúde no enfrentamento da pandemia de Covid-19 The health of healthcare professionals in coping with the Covid-19 pandemic
Este trabalho tem como objetivo sistematizar um conjunto de evidências científicas apresentadas em artigos internacionais que identificam os principais problemas que estão afetando os profissionais de saúde envolvidos diretamente no enfrentamento da pandemia de COVID-19 e apontam ações e estratégias para a proteção e assistência à saúde desses profissionais. O principal problema é o risco de contaminação que tem gerado afastamento do trabalho, doença e morte, além de intenso sofrimento psíquico, que se expressa em transtorno de ansiedade generalizada, distúrbios do sono, medo de adoecer e de contaminar colegas e familiares. Situando esta problemática na realidade brasileira, este artigo resgata a análise dos problemas crônicos que afetam os trabalhadores de saúde, decorrentes do sub-financiamento do SUS, do congelamentos dos gastos no setor, da deterioração dos serviços e da precarização da força de trabalho e aponta os desafios agudos que se apresentam à gestão do trabalho e capacitação de pessoal, diante da expansão da infraestrutura de leitos hospitalares e da reorganização do processo de trabalho na atenção básica para o enfrentamento da pandemia, enfatizando as medidas necessárias para a proteção e promoção da saúde física e mental dos profissionais e trabalhadores da saúde.
Palavras-chave:
