SUMMARY:

 

In the context of the pandemic, we observe the need to discuss the performance of women health professionals, since it is a category that deserves to be highlighted, both for their way of acting and for the responsibilities they carry. This research sought to analyze the implications of the covid-19 pandemic on the mental health of women health professionals, who worked on the front line of hospital services. It consists of a study with a qualitative approach, which is based on the theoretical framework of Institutional Analysis. The study was carried out with 08 female health professionals, who worked in the emergency room of a public hospital in the municipal sphere of a northeast region, which is a component of the municipality's Urgency and Emergency Network and a reference in the care of people affected by Covid -19. The execution of the research was authorized by the Research Ethics Committee (CEP) of FACISA/UFRN, having obtained a favorable opinion CAAE nº 62776322.10000.5568, respecting the ethical precepts of Resolution nº 510/16 (CNS, 2016). Data construction took place through semi-structured interviews that were carried out from December 2022 to January 2023 and observations recorded in the research diary. With regard to the analysis of the data produced, it was developed based on some seminal concepts of Institutional Analysis. Results: It stands out among the constructed data that the participants are young women, aged between 24 and 49 years old, most of whom are brown, single and mostly employed at the hospital where the research was carried out through a temporary contract. The results reinforce that female work is surrounded by crossings and power relations, it was also observed that factors such as precariousness and work overload were aggravated during the pandemic and that frontline work in an emergency room involves workloads, which lead to mental illness. Conclusion: The study points out factors that influence the mental health of women health professionals and contributes to Collective Health, as it describes an experienced reality that cannot be neglected. to the strengthening of public health policies, so that it is possible to respond to demands.
