ABSTRACT
Objective: To know the perceptions of mothers of premature newborns hospitalized in the Neonatal Unit in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: Qualitative research carried out in June and July 2020, involving 12 mothers of premature newborns hospitalized in the neonatal units of a maternity hospital in the state of Ceará during the Coronavirus pandemic. Mothers were contacted via WhatsApp application. For the textual analysis, the descending hierarchical classification performed by the IRAMUTEQ software was used. Results: The mothers’ perception was centered on the difficulties faced in this pandemic period. The word “no” was strongly presented in the corpus of the text, evidencing the impact of the impediment of the visit, of the mothers’ permanence in the units and the fact of not being able to breastfeed. Conclusion: The provision of humanized care in neonatal units should not be limited to the newborn, and emotional support for mothers by the health team is essential © 2022.

ABSTRACT
Objective: to report the experience of a health team in restructuring service at a mastology outpatient clinic. Methods: an experience report in a public university service mastology outpatient in Ceara between March and April 2020. Service in this outpatient clinic is exclusively for women and who have breast changes for surgical treatments ranging from nodulectomies to mastectomies with oncoplastic. Results: increased COVID-19 cases brought the need to restructure healthcare services. The following steps were followed: identification of scheduled patients, reading of clinical developments in electronic medical records, individual assessment to define whether or not appointment would remain, telephone contact to inform about unscheduling. Among the 555 consultations scheduled for March and April 2020, 316 (56.9%) were maintained. Final considerations: restructuring consultations at a mastology outpatient clinic optimized the waiting time for consultations and avoided crowds at service, providing patient safety.
