ABSTRACT
This research aims to analyze the degree of resilience of individual microentrepreneurs who work in the beauty industry in a city in Rio Grande do Norte during the COVID-19 pandemic. For methodological purposes, this study has a descriptive character of a quantitative nature. Virtual interviews were conducted through the WhatsApp app, in compliance with the recommendation of social isolation (WHO, 2020), with ten micro-entrepreneurs in the beauty industry in the city of Mossoro-RN. To understand the reports obtained, we used the technique of Analysis of Nuclei of Sense (ANS), adapted by Mendes (2007). As for the results of the data, new categories emerged associated with the dimensions of human resilience proposed by Perim et al. (2015). Based on the reports presented, in general, the interviewees showed low levels of human resilience. Thus, the study has managerial relevance when considering and analyzing this construct as a personality trait necessary to face moments of crisis and organizational competitiveness. In addition, there is the academic relevance of the research, since there were no studies on resilience of micro-entrepreneurs in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, making this a research gap.
ABSTRACT
The battle of COVID-19 is currently at different levels of intensity in each country and even each city. The authors have prepared succinct recommendations regarding the care of patients with breast cancer, divided into phases that can easily be adapted to each units' needs and resources, and stepped up or stepped down according to escalating and de-escalating circumstances. The structure can also be transposed easily to different cancer types, enabling continued provision of best standards of care despite unprecedented stressors. Surgery must go on.
