Resumo: Research indicates that the pandemic caused by the new coronavirus (COVID-19) caused a serious epidemiological crisis, with consequences for physical health and damage to emotional health. Throughout the pandemic, care professionals presented emotional manifestations, such as symptoms of depressed mood, anxiety, burnout, emotional exhaustion and work overload. In the face of emotional health problems, psychology played an active role in assisting hospitalized patients and their families. During the pandemic, the Psychologist dealt with demands regarding the collective fear expressed by the population. Given this context, the present study aimed to understand the emotional repercussions of psychology professionals working in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
