Taking care of the health team in times of covid-19: A creative experience from Brazilian health educators

The current COVID-19 pandemic makes us live difficult and unprecedented times and health professionals are in great demand. Thus, health teams also need to be taken care of. Not only physical care, but also mental health care. The authors describe an educational strategy developed with the objective of helping doctors, health workers and medical students to work with efficiency and serenity in their clinical settings. The strategy consists in the elaboration and dissemination of short videos with recommendations that can aid professionals having an objective view of the reality they are experiencing and so maintaining the emotional balance. The cinema, which is also included in these videos in form of film clips, is an important resource for the education of affectivity and helps to clarify the recommendations. Since it is a remote activity, even medical educators prevented from working on the front lines because they are at risk for COVID-19 can collaborate from the backstage providing a realistic view of the situation that the team is experiencing in this crisis and highlighting the positive facts and achievements.
