- Abstract
Objective: to analyze the stressors and prevention factors perceived by the nursing team during the COVID-19 pandemic in a public hospital unit in Fortaleza, Ceará in the year 2021. Methods: this is a research with a qualitative and transversal approach, of a descriptive nature with exposition of data collected in the field. Comprising the two main categories in nursing (four nursing technicians and four nurses), the participants answered a semi-structured questionnaire through an interview carried out during the pandemic period. Results: numerous ways of defining psychological illness were identified and that there were stressors in the period of the COVID-19 pandemic: fear, anxiety, war scenario, deaths and deprivations. Participants reported crying as a physical manifestation of suffering and that the pandemic interfered with mental health. On the other hand, the protective factors for mental illness presented were: support from family, friends and the work team itself, spiritual support and therapeutic follow-up with a psychologist. The organization and strategies to protect the mental health of professionals at work were also highlighted, among them: the working relationship in the team, the personal relationship with the patient and the vaccine against COVID-19. Final considerations: the factors that can lead to mental illness are multiple and the care provided for protection is minimal for the nursing team. In view of this, the relevance of mental health care is highlighted, due to the numerous risks and work overload in nursing.
