ABSTRACT:
ABSTRACT: Introduction: In this context of the Covid-19 pandemic, the nursing team plays a crucial and primordial role in the fight against prevention, promotion and health recovery for all patients. There are several precarious factors in hospitals, such as the lack of sufficient PPE to protect them, demonstrating uncertainty and fear, as they are susceptible to contracting the disease. Objective: To identify the challenges faced by nursing professionals working on the front line of the COVID-19 pandemic and the possible repercussions on physical and mental health. Methodology: This is an integrative literature review carried out in the databases of the VHL - LILACS, MEDLINE, BDENF and IBECS - and in PUBMED, using the PICo strategy, and the controlled descriptors DeCS and MeSH. The final sample consisted of 23 articles. Results and discussion: The characteristics that stood out in the occurrence of problems affecting the nurses’ physical and mental health, during and after the adaptation period were stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, emotional exhaustion, physical and mental fatigue, fear, sadness, anger, sleep disorders, trauma, safety and understanding the risks of Covid-19. It can be seen that nurses who obtained psychological support, interventions, strategies, training for knowledge and communication about the pandemic, flexibility, schedule adjustments and adequate rest, expressed a feeling of comfort, satisfaction and confidence in the provision of care to patients, being of great relevance to maintain the physical and mental well-being of nursing professionals during the Covid-19 pandemic. Conclusion: The perception of these challenges by the institutions’ managers is of great relevance so that actions can be taken that propose interventions and strategies for physical and mental well-being, in a way that they are beneficial both for professionals and for safe patient care.
