Abstract

Objective: to analyze resilience levels among Brazilian healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated factors. Method: a cross-sectional study conducted with 9,445 Brazilian healthcare professionals from October 1 to December 31, 2020, using a virtual questionnaire containing demographic and work-related variables related to the type of care provided, the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Brief Resilient Coping Scale. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used. Results: professionals from the Northeast (OR=1.31; 95% CI: 1.02-1.69; p= 0.033) and North (OR=1.34; 95% CI: 1.07-1.69; p= 0.011), psychologists (OR=1.95; 95% CI: 1.22-3.13; p= 0.005) and professionals with children (OR=1.32; 95% CI: 1.15-1.51; p<0.001) presented increased chances for strong resilience. Conclusion: the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in low resilience in most professionals, which may imply behavioral changes, beliefs and mood swings among professionals.
