RESUMO:

COVID-19 is an emerging infectious disease caused by the etiological agent Coronavirus, leading to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV-2). This viral agent was responsible for causing the COVID-19 pandemic. The disease has had significant impacts on society, the economy, human health, and the environment. This study aims to understand how nursing professionals perceive the pandemic (origin, spread, and felt consequences) and relate it to current socio-environmental issues of degradation and modification of non-anthropized wild habitats, as well as the human relationship with non-domesticated animals. The research was conducted in three stages, resulting in three articles. The first is a literature review aimed at finding scientific evidence on the relationship between 21st-century socio-environmental problems and the COVID-19 pandemic. The second article is an integrative review exploring current scientific discussions on deforestation and the emergence of emerging and re-emerging diseases. The third is a qualitative field study, including interviews with nursing professionals who worked on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic. The dialogue aimed to understand professionals' perceptions of the health-disease and environmental relationship, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic. Results revealed that human interference through deforestation, practices of burning, and climate change has contributed to the emergence of zoonotic diseases like the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings also showed that deforestation is associated with the emergence of emerging diseases such as hantavirus and re-emerging diseases like leprosy, leishmaniasis, dengue, and yellow fever, among others. Regarding nursing professionals, perceptions were disclosed that environmental conditions are linked to the population's health and disease process. Concerning the origin of the new Coronavirus, there is divergence among professionals. Some believe the virus's emergence is directly related to human interference in nature, while others think the virus was modified through laboratory activities. Regarding the impact on the health of healthcare workers, especially nursing professionals, they expressed feeling unprepared to face the disease, developing fears of contracting and transmitting it to their families, fear of death, and physical and mental exhaustion during long working hours. They also mentioned coping with physical and psychological sequelae from the disease and experiencing little support from the government on this matter.

Keywords: COVID-19, Deforestation, Land use changes, Zoonoses, Environment.
