Repercussões nas ações de enfermagem no cenário de pandemia do covid-19

Abstract

Objective: to describe the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic on nursing actions. Method: integrative literature review structured by the six steps of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and meta-Analyses checklist. The databases consulted were MEDLINE, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, Database in Nursing and Coleciona SUS. Results: the final sample comprised five articles that presented the need for nursing leaders to reassess the workforce and use the skills of existing professionals to assist patients. The role of nurses with their effective performance was highlighted and the Omaha system was used to streamline care. Other repercussions were the worsening of the quality of life and the increase in anxiety among nursing professionals, lack of support from leaders and the need to assume functions outside the regular area of activity. Conclusion: restructuring health services, offering better working conditions, remuneration and continued qualification means preserving nursing professionals and offering global public health greater chances of surviving with less impact on other pandemic situations.
