HUMAN RESOURCES FOR HEALTH DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
HUMAN RESOURCES FOR HEALTH DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Summary/Abstract: In this paper we will present some of the results of a didactic-scientific project carried out with our students from the master’s programmes between November 2020 and January 2021. In the first section of the paper, we will make a brief incursion into the literature devoted to human resources in the covid-19 pandemic, with a focus on human resources in health, including here the medical and pharmaceutical fields. The second section, also very condensed, is devoted to a review of some of the concepts involved in grounding our qualitative research: self-esteem and self-image, interpersonal relations, job satisfaction, co-social behaviours, social capital, group decision and human resource development. The methodology section lists the main research themes and, correspondingly, the main research questions. The results presented reveal that although there have been no cases of staff redundancies in the health sector, employees have been placed in entirely new regulatory contexts, which have affected, to a greater or lesser extent, the work climate, self-image, job satisfaction, patient/client relationships and professional development activities.
