ZUCHETTO, Milena Amorim et al. Rehabilitation nursing in Brazil in front of the situation of pandemic: Case study. RPER [online]. 2020, vol.3, suppl.1, pp.50-57.  Epub 05-Ene-2022. ISSN 2184-965X.  https://doi.org/10.33194/rper.2020.v3.s2.7.5795.

Rehabilitation nursing in Brazil is established, primarily, within the Specialized Rehabilitation Center, where nurses develop care actions to reach the maximum health potential of the user. In this context, the pandemic scenario causes multiple changes in the care process, influencing new ways of thinking about the nurse's work in this context. Therefore, the study aims to understand how rehabilitation nurses are experiencing the world pandemic scenario, answering the question "How is the reality of rehabilitation nursing in the state of Santa Catarina - Brazil facing the pandemic scenario?". For this, the research has a qualitative approach, outlined by the method of multiple case studies, showing the reality of five rehabilitation nurses in four rehabilitation centers in the state of Santa Catarina. From the data, three categories emerged, which describe how the preparations were made for the closure of services, how nursing reinvented itself in times of pandemic, what were the challenges and potential found in this trajectory and what is expected of the future. It is concluded that in view of the changes experienced by the rehabilitation nurses, each institution assumed a position that directly impacted the nurses' work process, being necessary to reinvent the way of caring and create mechanisms to share preventive measures in the midst of social isolation.
