Abstract

This study aimed to diagnose the health of workers in Primary Care Units in a region in Fortaleza, Ceará, where COVID-19 had a high incidence, and to verify the relationship between this diagnosis and the evolution of the pandemic locally. A quantitative research based on situational diagnosis. For statistical analyses, Fisher's Exact Test was used. Despite the psychosocial risks identified and the workers' illness, there was no significant association between the workers' health diagnosis and the evolution of the local pandemic. The absence of an association may indicate the influence of complex factors in the dynamics between the health of workers and the pandemic context, such as variability in working conditions, the level of institutional support, differences in training and qualifications of professionals, the emotional and physical burden imposed by the pandemic, as well as the sociocultural and economic issues that affect the mental and physical health of workers.
