Abstract
Introduction: COVID-19 pandemic led to the readaptation and reorganization of health systems.
Objectives: Characterize the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the NSRN (nurses specialized in rehabilitation nursing); characterize the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on specialized rehabilitation nursing care provided to populations; to characterize the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the technical-scientific updating strategies of the NSRN; and also as aims to provide information to decision-makers for better management of human/professional resources; and, to provide information to decision makers for better management of specialized nursing care for populations.
Methodology: Observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study. Non-probabilistic, convenience sample of nurses specializing in rehabilitation nursing, members of the Associação Portuguesa dos Enfermeiros de Reabilitação. Online questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential analysis.
Results: During the period of the pandemic by the NSRN, we verified a negative impact on the dimensions “time for friends” and “time for personal leisure”, and a positive impact on the dimensions “relationship with coworkers” and “availability of equipment for individual protection”. In the future, there is a perception of a negative impact on the dimensions “bureaucratic activities”, “personal health”, “time for friends”, and “time for personal leisure”, and a positive impact on the dimensions “availability of protective equipment individual” and “organization of the physical space in the workplace”.
Discussion: Acknowledgement of the impact serves as guidance for implementing changes in work dynamics and service structures.
Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on the NSRN and on the specialized care provided. Future studies that allow knowing this impact in the long term, or directed to the autonomous interventions of the NSRN, become pertinent.
