Resumo: Objective: to understand the ethical problems experienced by nurse managers in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: qualitative study, conducted with 19 nurse managers. The inclusion criteria were nurses who had held a management position for at least six months, and the exclusion criteria were those who held an assistance position. Data were collected through individual interviews with a semi-structured script and document analysis and analyzed using Content Analysis. Results: the ethical problems were related to duplicity and lack of information about norms and routines; lack of patient flow; routine changes without communication with the nurse coordinators; absenteeism and presenteeism of the nursing team; refusal of reassignment by technicians; nursing professionals who chose to work in the COVID-19 sector and earn additional unhealthy salary and those who did not choose due to fear of disease; and conflicts arising from the patient.  Conclusion: the analysis revealed situations marked by ethical problems that compromise the dynamics of work and the quality of care. Contributions to practice: understanding ethical problems contributes to the promotion of improvements in planning, intervention, and preparation of professionals to deal with conflicting issues experienced in hospital management.

Métodos: estudo qualitativo, realizado com 19 enfermeiros gestores. Os critérios de inclusão foram enfermeiros que exerciam a função de gestão há, pelo menos, seis meses, e os de exclusão, os que ocupavam cargo assistencial. Coleta de dados realizada por meio de entrevistas individuais com roteiro semiestruturado e análise documental, e analisados por meio da Análise de Conteúdo. Resultados: os problemas éticos estão relacionados à: duplicidade e falta de informação sobre as normas e rotinas; ausência de fluxo dos pacientes; mudanças de rotina sem comunicação com os enfermeiros coordenadores; absenteísmo e presenteísmo da equipe de enfermagem; recusa de remanejamento por parte dos técnicos; profissionais da enfermagem que optaram por atuar no  setor da COVID-19 e ganhar adicional de insalubridade e os que não optaram devido ao medo da doença; e conflitos provenientes do paciente. Conclusão: a análise revelou situações marcadas por problemas éticos que comprometem a dinâmica de trabalho e a qualidade do atendimento. Contribuições para a prática: a compreensão dos problemas éticos contribui para a promoção de melhorias no planejamento, intervenção e preparo dos profissionais para lidar com questões conflitantes vivenciadas na gestão hospitalar.Universidade Federal do Ceará2023-01-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontextoapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.ufc.br/rene/article/view/8173710.15253/2175-6783.20232481737Rev Rene; Vol. 24 (2023): Rev Rene; e81737Rev Rene; v. 24 (2023): Rev Rene; e817372175-67831517-3852reponame:Rev Rene (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC)instacron:UFCporenghttp://periodicos.ufc.br/rene/article/view/81737/227711http://periodicos.ufc.br/rene/article/view/81737/227712Copyright (c) 2023 Rev Reneinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCunha, Simone Graziele SilvaDeodato, SérgioBrito, Maria José Menezes2023-01-24T18:24:59Zoai:periodicos.ufc:article/81737Revistahttp://periodicos.ufc.br/renePUBhttp://periodicos.ufc.br/rene/oairene@ufc.br||2175-67831517-3852opendoar:2023-01-24T18:24:59Rev Rene (Online) - Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC)false
