ABSTRACT

Introduction: Health personnel linked to the care of patients confirmed with the COVID-19 are exposed to situations of sustained stress that require the maintenance and renewal of psychological resources for their coping, and although they have the skills to deal with the disease, the situation that emerges and its alarming epidemiological behavior justify the vulnerability. Objectives: Comment on aspects related to occupational health in health professionals in the context of the current epidemiological situation and provide recommendations for staff working in Cuban medical brigades in collaboration abroad. Material and method: A review of 25 updated bibliographies that included periodical publications of national and foreign authors indexed in different databases was carried out. Development: The pandemic exposes health professionals to psychosocial occupational risks. Some stressors during pandemic outbreaks have long-lasting effects. Recommendations have been published for the working population in order to preserve their mental health and in particular that of exposed personnel. Conclusions: Permanent access to updated scientific information from authorized and reliable sources, social support networks, obtaining self-help skills and professional advice are part of a set of psychosocial protective factors to enhance resources for coping with stress, preventing posttraumatic stress and the mental exhaustion of health personnel who work in Cuban medical missions in collaboration in different countries and who provide services to confirmed and / or suspected COVID-19 patients.
