0271/2023 - Olha, você (não) está sozinho: A circulação da dádiva e a saúde mental de profissionais de saúde durante a pandemia de COVID-19 Listen, you are (not) by yourself: The exchange of the Gift and the mental Health of healthcare professional during COVID-19 pandemic
Durante a pandemia de COVID-19 a saúde mental dos profissionais de saúde, que trabalharam diretamente nos serviços de saúde voltados para o cuidado dos pacientes afetados pela doença, se tornou questão fundamental a ser considerada, dado os diversos desdobramentos que essa atuação gerou para esses profissionais. O objetivo deste artigo foi compreender desafios e demandas apontadas pelos profissionais de saúde em termos de suporte para lidar com o desgaste emocional e físico, assim como os desafios enfrentados por eles, que atuaram na chamada linha de frente durante a pandemia de Covid-19. A abordagem metodológica qualitativa se deu a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas em ambiente online com esses profissionais, passados os primeiros meses de pandemia. O lugar de herói em que esses profissionais foram colocados, ainda que apenas nos discursos midiáticos, logo deu espaço para que as fragilidades destes e das relações de trabalho pudessem aparecer: estresse, medo e o desejo de serem ouvidos e acolhidos. A teoria da dádiva de Marcel Mauss foi trazida considerando que novas formas de leitura e interpretação das relações de trabalho em saúde contribuem para reformulações necessárias e urgentes do contexto em que se encontram atualmente, visando a saúde mental e, mais amplamente, a saúde integral dos profissionais da área de saúde.

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.
