The advent of the new coronavirus pandemic, nursing professionals had to deal with all the uncertainties of COVID-19. As a result, the team needed to create resources to cope with the situations experienced. The objective of this study was to analyze the evidence available in the literature on occupational stress and coping strategies of the nursing team in COVID- 19. This is an integrative literature review, with a search for publications between 2020 and 2022, available in the BVS, LILACS, MEDLINE and BDENF databases. From the selection criteria, seven articles were obtained for the analysis of the results. The review indicated the most recurrent stressors were the fear of contamination of nursing professionals and their families, lack of knowledge about the unpredictability of the virus and work overload. The coping strategies adopted by them were the support of colleagues and family members, the search for greater knowledge about the pandemic and the disease, spirituality and faith. It is concluded that counseling by a specialized professional to support health professionals can help in coping, making scenarios less hostile and with less impact on mental health.

Objectives: to evaluate factors associated with adherence to drug therapy in hypertensive patients in a Primary Care Unit. Methods: a descriptive, exploratory study, applying the assessment of adherence and Self-reported Medication Adherence Measure in 54 patients of the Adult Health Program. For categorical variables, the chi-square test or Fisher exact test were used; for the numeric, the Mann-Whitney or Kruskal- Wallis test were used; and for correlation the correlation coefficient of Spearman was used. Results: patients had a mean age of 61.4 (± 12.5) years, 51.8% women and 48.1% men, mean schooling was 4.3 (± 3.5) years, 59% were employed, 35.1% performed blood pressure control only for medical consultation and/or nursing, 61.1% were non-adherent to medication treatment despite showing high favourability behavior accession. Men and those who did not follow dietary recommendations were more careless when taking medications; those who worked out of their home forgot to take the medication more often; smokers and those who frequently ingest alcohol were behaviors less favorable to adhesion. Conclusions: factors associated with nonadherence were gender and healthy habits. Thus, the major challenge for health professionals is to implement measures that actually change the behavior of adhesion. The development of an intervention based on reflection, respect for the autonomy and individuality of the patient may help to improve adherence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
