Abstract

In 2020, Primary Health Care (PHC) of the Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) played a leading role in the fight against Covid-19 as the first access to health services. Covid-19 was considered a Public Health Emergency and a pandemic disease, which required all services and health professionals to reorganize and strengthen teamwork to ensure comprehensive and quality care for the population. Objective: to understand the experience of health professionals working in Primary Care in the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods: qualitative study with a comprehensive approach, resulting from a larger project approved with Embodied Opinion number 4,731,629. Data collection: took place from August 2021 to February 2022, through individual interviews, synchronous, through the Google Meet platform. These were recorded by the platform itself, transcribed and analyzed according to Bardin’s Content Analysis methodological framework, thematic approach. From the units of meaning originated the proposed categories and themes. Results: five categories: reorganization of the health unit’s work process; feelings shown by professionals and population; conflict population-health professionals in adherence to vaccination influenced by the media; Indicators of the work process during the pandemic and (lack of) knowledge. Three themes were identified: The work process of the health unit’s multidisciplinary team during the 2020 and 2021 pandemic; The coping/feeling of professionals and patients; Media influencing population behavior.
