Abstract

Objective: To reflect on the mental health of the Brazilian nursing professionals in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Development: The current outbreak of the disease caused by the Coronavirus, COVID-19, is causing enormous damage to the entire world and tends to cause widespread panic in the population. Faced with this reality, the nursing professionals are part of one of the most affected groups, exposed to the risk of contagion and emotional pain that considerably affects mental health. Thus, the Federal Nursing Council appointed the Nursing National Commission on Mental Health to provide assistance to these professionals who are at the forefront of the pandemic.
Conclusion: In order to achieve this goal, the Nursing Care on Mental Health project for
nursing professionals in the pandemic was elaborated. After the first thirty days of services, the most emerging feelings were anxiety, fear, ambivalence, depression, and exhaustion.
