ABSTRACT
Objective: to reflect on how undergraduate Nursing teachers experience the activities of their work process in the COVID-19 pandemic context. Method: a qualitative and reflection study of the action-participant research type, grounded on Paulo Freire’s assumptions. The participants were 20 undergraduate Nursing teachers from public and private universities in southern Brazil. Paulo Freire’s Research Itinerary was carried out through Thematic Research, Coding, Decoding, and Critical Unveiling, in a Virtual Culture Circle held in August 2020. Results: the Nursing teachers discussed about the repercussions of remote teaching on their health. They reflected on their feelings in facing this teaching modality and on how they develop in the pandemic context. Conclusion: the results contribute to the nurses’ evidence-based practice, strengthening decision-making regarding the teachers’ work process in the COVID-19 pandemic context. © 2021, Universidade Federal do Parana.

ABSTRACT
Objective: To understand the repercussions of Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) from the perspective of schoolchildren. Materials and method: A qualitative study, of the participant action type, based on Paulo Freire’s theoretical and methodological precepts. The participants were 10 children living in the coastal area of Santa Catarina, Brazil, from a virtual culture circle held in July 2020. An analogy was made with the colored pencil to go through the stages of the research itinerary. Results: Two generative themes emerged for dis-cussion: the good things of the COVID-19 pandemic and the “cannots” of the pandemic. In the first theme, they highlighted more time with the family and strengthening family ties, proximity to pets, and self-care. In the second, they pointed out the impossibility of playing with friends, celebrating birthdays and hugging people. Conclusions: The children identified positive and negative points experienced during the pandemic and unveiled the challenges of transforming moments of social isolation into spaces of family proximity, although restricted to their homes. © 2020, Universidad de La Sabana.
