| Sumario: | This article is based on the accounts of public healthcare workers’ experiences since the declaration of a public health emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective is to analyze the transformations that occurred in their daily work during the pandemic and identify the main challenges and problems to be addressed through public policies. Methods: A qualitative research study was carried out to 41 public health workers. Results and conclusions: the informants highlight a total transformation in the forms of care and in their work in particular. The primary tensions that emerge: a) the spaces where work takes place that in this context acquire new sense and meaning; b) the times for work and leisure; and c) the new roles and activities the workers have had to learn and to which they have had to adapt. We highlight these dimensions as crucial to supporting healthcare teams in the transition toward a new reality of public health in Argentina. |
