Participants were mostly female, aged 18 to 82 years; 13 different health professions and all states of Brazil were represented.Results: The most frequent professions were psychology, dentistry, and nursing. The Brief SymptomInventory (BSI) score suggested an increased distress perception among health professionals.Females showed poorer mental health than males, but the absolute rise in Global Severity Index (GSI)score was larger in males than in females. Younger adults reported more symptoms of psychological distress than older adults. The most impacted age group was between 30-39 years. Nurse technicians presented the highest risk of distress.Conclusion: Health professionals are essential to overcoming the pandemic; thus, their mental health status should be monitored, and features associated with increased distress should be identified. Our findings suggest distress risk should be stratified by occupation, age, and sex. Health professionals showed an increased distress perception. Women, individuals between the ages of 30 and 39, nursing personnel, and physicians were more likely to report distress compared with other health professionals.engUniversidade Federal de Minas GeraisUFMGBrasilFAF - DEPARTAMENTO DE PSICOLOGIAMED - DEPARTAMENTO DE PEDIATRIAMED - DEPARTAMENTO DE SAÚDE MENTALBrazilian Journal of PsychiatricCOVID-19Mental HealthHealth workersPandemicsMental DisordersCOVID-19Mental HealthHealth PersonnelPandemicsMental DisordersThe mental health of brazilian healthcare professionals during the covid-19 pandemic: a longitudinal studyinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.47626/1516-4446-2021-2347Antônio Geraldo da SilvaAlexandre Luiz de OliveiraserpaDébora Marques de MirandaLeandro f.
