Abstract

Objective: To understand how nurses who work in a transplant unit perceive the challenges of their role in the face of COVID-19. Method: This is
an exploratory, descriptive, qualitative study conducted through interviews in the transplant unit of a reference hospital in Ceará, Northeastern Brazil, between
March and June 2020. Data were analyzed in the software Interface de R pour les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires (IRAMUTEQ).
Subsequently, we performed a correspondence factor analysis (CFA) and generated a word cloud, taking into account the evocations with higher frequency.
Results: Fourteen nurses participated in the study, most of them women. The content analyzed was categorized into three classes: organization of the care flow
for suspected cases, personal protection equipment in the COVID-19 pandemic context, emotional state in the face of the pandemic. Conclusion: We found
that nurses are suffering due to fragilities related to the moment they are experiencing, as they are daily challenged to adapt to changes in their work routines.
