With the COVID-19 pandemic, pre-hospital medical emergency professionals, a group at risk for psychological illness, are even more exposed to stressful critical incidents at work. However, scientific literature focused on the psychological impact and on gender differences is still scarce. This study aimed to analyse the levels of well-being and COVID-19 anxiety of pre-hospital medical emergency professionals, as well as to characterize the COVID-19 experience and to explore the predictors of COVID-19 anxiety, while exploring gender differences. A sociodemographic/professional questionnaire, the Well-Being Questionnaire, the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale and COVID-19 related questions, were applied to 194 professionals (67% males). Low COVID-19 anxiety and moderate well-being were found, which shows a good adjustment to this pandemic. It was also found few gender differences related to the COVID-19 experience, as well as COVID-19 anxiety being associated with less well-being. However, for women COVID-19 anxiety was associated with higher negative well-being and COVID-19 related fear, while for men COVID-19 anxiety was associated with higher negative well-being and COVID-19 workplace security measures. This research adds to the study of COVID-19 impact on frontline professionals and to the study of gender differences on first responders at pre-hospital settings.

Objective: to analyze the aspects of violence at work (structural, illnesses and deaths and stigma/discrimination) of Brazilian health professionals in the Covid-19 pandemic, through analyzes of Brazilian journalistic media. Methodology: Qualitative analysis of reports reported in two Brazilian news websites (G1 and Uol), within the period from April 20th to 30th in 2020, by using the words "Covid-19 and professional *";10 reports were selected, whose witch focus predominantly violence and health aspects of healthcare professionals during the pandemic. We used thematic content analysis to explore the journalistic material found. Results: violence is related to the intensification of work, in views of the increased demands for health care;shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) and human resources to face the pandemic, illnesses and deaths by Covid-19, as well as difficulties in producing data on this matter;experiences of stigmas and discrimination because they are "possible spreaders of the virus";health professionals feel guilty and afraid of contaminating their families. Conclusion: there are impacts of structural violence at work, experiences of illnesses and deaths of professionals, stigma and discrimination, which corroborate the health care needs.

Resumo: Apesar de ter sido um dos primeiros países da Europa a introduzir disposições no direito do trabalho para promover o trabalho virtual e ter feito fortes investimentos em infraestrutura de TIC, a adoção do trabalho virtual em Portugal fica significativamente atrás da maioria dos países europeus. Este artigo examina a literatura, documentos oficiais e bancos de dados para entender esse atraso. Constatamos que, apesar da dificuldade de medir o trabalho virtual, é possível afirmar que existiam 1,8% dos trabalhadores em 2005 envolvidos em teletrabalho. Em 2010, menos de 3% estavam envolvidos neste tipo de trabalho, enquanto em 2015 subiu para 8,2%. O artigo identifica dois fatores principais que dificultam o crescimento do trabalho virtual: a estrutura legal e os aspetos organizacionais do trabalho.
