Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic reached its global scale in 2020 and brought with it changes in habits in the lives of the entire population of the planet. As a result, people had to adapt to this period of sanitary urgency by means of stricter sanitary rules, involving quarantine, isolation and social distance, implemented to reduce the contagion and the speed of the spread of the Corona virus. The populations affected by the pandemic, including the Brazilian, and the Northeast in particular, the target of this study, suddenly found themselves in this scenario and needed to create strategies on how to deal with, adapt and make sense of their daily realities. Because it is a new virus, and its disease is unknown in the medical literature, and consequently, of behavioural and cognitive studies that are still very incipient and scarce, it is urgent to know the ways in which the Brazilian population, both in coastal areas and in the States of the Federation located in the hinterland, is experiencing the reality of coping with the pandemic, and its difficulties in coping with it, from the native perspectives characterized by the attribution of meanings from the populations. This study was carried out according to a descriptive, ideographic, multi-case phenomenological methodology. The sample consisted of 10 residents of municipalities in the hinterland of the state of Pernambuco who remotely reported their experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic by answering 02 stimulus questions: meanings of coping; coping difficulties. Their reports were analysed following the standard phenomenological method, in the formalization of Giorgi, in order to bring to the surface the meanings of the reported experiences.  The following thematic structures were found: Adherence to protective health standards; Subjective impacts; Activities to spend the time; and Difficulties, capable of describing the meanings of the pandemic and coping for this group of individuals living in the hinterland of Pernambuco. It is hoped that studies with a phenomenological approach can bring to light the experiences of the hinterland Northeastern population, enabling health policies that are more effective for this population in future pandemic events.

Keywords: Pandemic Covid-19; coping; difficulties; Interior of Pernambuco; phenomenology.
