Abstract

Stress is defined as a natural and necessary process of the body to react to danger. This adaptive process is always active, causing physical and emotional changes. In order to raise, among nursing professionals, the psychic suffering stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, this study used the cross-sectional, descriptive, quantitative observational method. The research was carried out in two public hospitals in the city of São Luís/MA, from the application of questionnaires of sociodemographic data, SRQ-20 and Perceived Stress Scale, through the Google Forms platform to the selected group, and for analysis the Software SPSS (version 21) was used in order to obtain descriptive statistics (mean, deviation and frequencies), Pearson r correlation and mean difference tests. The results describe the degree of suffering to which they were exposed during the work exercise, mostly by female nursing professionals, aged between 26 and 36 years, brown, single and Catholic. It was also noticed that these professionals have children, most of them are of higher education, with a workload of 36 h, having only one bond and earning between 1 and 2 salaries, part of the sample presented psychic suffering and stress at work. It was concluded that coping with stressors causing psychic suffering, psychosocial support and active participation of managers from all spheres involved would result in the construction of resilient professionals for the health system.
