Abstract
This study intents to analyse how its possible the health workers find meaning at job in the
pandemic season of COVID-19. In 2020, unexpectedly, a pandemic infested the world: the
new coronavírus. The isolation and social distance changed significantly the worldwide,
reaching people’s daily lives. This impact caused a radical transformation in the field of the
work. For some laborers the home office became part of the new routine, but for health
professionals the work increased considerably. These professionals, even in many cases
under precarious conditions, have commit themselves to meet the high demand. Given this, we can investigate how it is possible to find meaning at work despite the pandemic. For this
purpose, the theoretical approach of Logotherapy and Existential Analysis was used, a
psychotherapy system developed by the austrian psychiatrist Viktor E. Frankl [1905-1997]
whose filled in the meaning of life as a main theme of his theory. An exploratory research
was carried out, in addition to the literature review about the meaning of work. Health
professionals currently represent those who say yes to life, even though everything.
Celebrating recoveries, but regretting losses, but remaining persistents to appeal to the
patient to suffer as little pain as possible, in addition to the care provided to each person that
these professionals touch not only the body, but also the existence with their services and
dedication.
