FROM THE FRONT LINE, TO THE POSITIVE RESULT, TREATMENT AND CURE OF COVID-19: EXPERIENCE REPORT OF A NURSE

Abstract

The current moment is marked by many uncertainties, fears, anxieties, anxieties, but also hope for those who
are facing the war against an unknown and feared virus. The new coronavirus pandemic, which affects several
countries, including Brazil, brought a change in habits in people's lives. Routines were changed, shops, bars,
churches, gyms and stores closed, empty streets and overcrowding in health services. A chaos took over society
and the despair and fear of getting infected or infecting your family member, began to spread among people,
causing most to stay at home and avoid contamination. The experience with the infection of an unpredictable
virus and an unknown disease, brought reflections mainly on the prevalence of exacerbated prejudice in society,
the lack of awareness and concern among the population about the spread of the virus. In addition, isolation
and detachment also brought meditations on the importance of their presence and affectionate contact, whether
from family, friends and patients. It is hoped that this experience report will contribute to society and
health professionals, showing how self-care and mental balance are of paramount importance for the stability
of the COVID -19 framework and cure.
