Perception of the newly graduated nurse in nursing care during the COVID-19 pandemic: Report of experience

Abstract

Upon being hit by the Covid-19 pandemic, and in view of the evolution of the clinical spectrum caused by the new Coronavirus, the world was faced with different challenges: development of vaccines, medications, mechanical respirators and interfaces for ventilatory therapies. At the end of December 2019, in the province of Wuhan, China, health authorities identified a set of cases of pneumonia of unknown etiology, with rapid worsening and highly transmissible. After analysis of swab samples collected from patients, the causative agent was identified as a new type of coronavirus named SARS-CoV-2 with an infectious characteristic, manifesting itself with a relevant impact on the health of the population. Also known as the new SARS-CoV2 viral syndrome, COVID manifests itself in the human body at different levels of severity. It varies between asymptomatic, mild or severe cases, and mainly affects the lower respiratory tract.
