Psychosocial, organizational, and health aspects related to the labor of community health workers in the trans- and post-COVID-19 pandemic period in Brazil’s Northeast Region
Perceived violence by CHWs (i.e., ever saw/heard of violence in the community) increased in capital cities with time while diminishing in the inner cities. A larger increase in the types of work activities, including home visits performed by CHWs, in capital cities was noted over time. These changes are likely affecting PHC functioning and the care offered.
