Relato de experiência de uma assistente social inserida no campo da saúde no período da pandemia da covid-19: um olhar sob a perspectiva de gênero

Abstract

This article aims to reflect on the professional experience of a social worker inserted in the Multiprofessional Residency program for Adult and Elderly Health at the Federal University of Alagoas, which had a Public University Hospital in the state of Alagoas as a socio-occupational space. The pedagogical meaning of this report seeks to discuss the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic that sharpened the expressions of the social issue, shaped through the demands brought by the users of the service, as well as the institutional changes and in terms of legislation that took place in that period, including the professional responses that were given at those times. Thus, recognizing that the pandemic has affected women differently, a gender approach is carried out, as the fact that the pandemic context intensified these socio-historical differences cannot be made invisible. In addition, the report seeks to discuss how in this period the importance and need of the social worker within the health area became even more visible.
