ABSTRACT
Objective: to describe the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on nurses’ health. Method: in this exploratory, descriptive, qualitative study, data were obtained from semi-structured interviews of ten nurses from the Family Health Strategy in Murici, Alagoas state, and submitted to Minayo’s Content Analysis technique, using Callista Roy’s Theory of Adaptation as the theoretical frame of reference. Results: fear of the unknown, the need to meet the situation both personally and professionally, fear of transmitting COVID to family members, and the experience of grief were identified in this study. Conclusion: nurses’ occupational exposure to the Coronavirus leads them to professional and human vulnerability. In this context, it is essential that nurses’ health demands be well received and effectively met, considering that the basis of the profession is care. Accordingly, for quality care, working conditions need to be consistent with the nurses’ function.
