Resumo: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused impacts in several areas of Brazilian society, especially with regard to SUS, which needed adaptations to efficiently combat the new coronavirus. In this context of constant demands and changes, health professionals were affected both physically, due to the possibility of contamination and exhausting working hours, as well as psychologically, with the manifestation of symptoms such as anxiety, fear, stress and depression. This research was quantitative in order to gather information about individual strategies that are used to adapt and overcome stressful and adverse contexts, a process also known as coping. The sample consisted of 22 health professionals (5 from nursing, 4 from physiotherapy, 5 from nutrition and 8 from psychology) who are or have been working within the assistance flow chart described in the Contingency Plan of the Federal District to combat the pandemic of COVID -19. The Folkman and Lazarus Coping Strategies Inventory adapted to Portuguese were applied, using an online forms platform. The results showed that the strategy most used by professionals was “positive reassessment” (18%), followed by “social support” (16%), “self-control” (15%), “problem solving” (14%), “ escape-avoidance ”(12%),“ withdrawal ”(9%),“ confrontation ”(9%) and the least used strategy was“ acceptance of responsibility ”(7%). Although there are some differences related to the use of strategies when comparing professions, it is possible to observe that they converge towards a more positive and conscious confrontation in this context.

Keywords: Coping; coping strategies; health professionals; mental healthA pandemia da COVID-19 tem causado impactos em diversas áreas da sociedade brasileira principalmente no que diz respeito ao SUS que precisou de adaptações para combater de maneira eficiente o novo coronavírus. Nesse contexto de exigências e mudanças constantes, os profissionais de saúde foram afetados tanto fisicamente, devido à possibilidade de contaminação e jornadas exaustivas de trabalho, como também psicologicamente, com a manifestação de sintomas como ansiedade, medo, estresse e depressão. Essa pesquisa teve caráter quantitativo com o objetivo de levantar informações a respeito das estratégias individuais que são utilizadas para adaptação e superação de contextos estressantes e adversos, processo também conhecido como coping. A amostra foi constituída por 22 profissionais de saúde (5 da enfermagem, 4 da fisioterapia, 5 da nutrição e 8 da psicologia) que estão ou estiveram atuando dentro do fluxograma assistencial descrito no Plano de Contingência do Distrito Federal para o combate a pandemia da COVID-19. Realizou-se a aplicação do Inventário de Estratégias de Coping de Folkman e Lazarus adaptado para o português, utilizando uma plataforma online de formulários. Os resultados demonstraram que a estratégia mais utilizada pelos profissionais foi “reavaliação positiva” (18%), seguida de “suporte social” (16%), “autocontrole” (15%), “resolução de problemas” (14%), “fuga-esquiva” (12%), “afastamento” (9%), “confronto” (9%) e a estratégia menos utilizada foi “aceitação de responsabilidade” (7%). Embora existam algumas diferenças relacionadas à utilização das estratégias ao comparar as profissões, é possível observar que elas convergem no sentido de um enfrentamento mais positivo e consciente diante deste contexto.
