• Abstract:

  The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has brought an extra challenge to the mental health of health workers. In addition to the worrying and alarming number of deaths from the virus, there is overcrowding in hospitals, bringing a health crisis, and demanding a lot from professionals in the area, which ends up compromising the mental health of these individuals who are on the front line of the fight against COVID. -19. We aim to systematize knowledge about the impacts on mental health and psychological interventions in the face of the covid-19 pandemic and expand these discussions by contextualizing them in the municipal context. Such research was carried out with the nursing professionals of the Hospital de Base Ary Pinheiro, in the city of Porto Velho - RO.
