description
Health workers in Mexico City during the COVID19 pandemic experienced long working hours, ignorance, uncertainty, and fear. Objective, material, and methods: To explore the experiences of health personnel who worked in public hospitals in Mexico City during the COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted rapid qualitative research through virtual semi-structured interviews (n=30) with frontline staff between May and September 2020. This research was an iterative process of data collection and analysis. We codified the material and then built themes that we reviewed in a matrix. Results: We presented three main themes: 1) Fear of the virus: uncertainty, death, and concern for their families, were a constant for participants. 2) The actions conducted for containment: the people who experienced the support program in “Los Pinos” experienced it as a successful and positive program. 3) Mental health care: the health personnel experienced a lack of attention to their mental health and difficulties to use the existing one. Conclusions: Given the conditions, the day-today was to share and try to understand the emotions among the teams, supporting each other given the difficult experiences that they were living. This study corresponds to others in Mexico and worldwide, showing the need to plan and have clear and non-reactive regulations, to reduce fears and uncertainty.

Objetivo: El objetivo fue explorar las experiencias del personal de salud que trabajó en hospitales públicos de Ciudad de México, durante la pandemia de COVID-19. Materiales y métodos: Realizamos una investigación cualitativa rápida a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas virtuales (n=30) al personal de primera línea entre mayo y septiembre del 2020. Fue un proceso iterativo de recolección y análisis, codificamos el material y después construimos temas que revisamos en una matriz. Resultados: Presentamos tres temas principales: 1) Miedo al virus: la incertidumbre, la muerte y la preocupación por la familia, fueron una constante. 2) Las acciones realizadas para contención: las personas que experimentaron el programa de apoyo en “Los Pinos” lo vivieron como un programa exitoso y positivo. 3) La atención de su salud mental: el personal de salud vivió falta de atención a la salud mental y la dificultad para utilizar la existente. Conclusiones: Dadas las condiciones, el día a día era compartir y tratar de comprender las emociones entre los equipos, apoyándose entre sí dadas las experiencias difíciles que se vivían. Este estudio se corresponde con otros en México y el mundo que refleja la necesidad de planear y tener normativas claras y no reactivas, así poder disminuir los miedos y la incertidumbre.2022text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=8961740(Revista) ISSN 1315-0138Salud de los Trabajadores, ISSN 1315-0138, Vol. 30, Nº. 1, 2022, pags. 59-72spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
