Objective: to describe the strategies used to face the adversities arising from the COVID-19 pandemic by Brazilian nursing professionals and to understand their experiences and feelings emerged in this context. Methods: mixed study, of the parallel-convergent type, carried out with non-probabilistic sampling with 1737 nurse practitioners from different regions of Brazil, by virtual questionnaire, on sociodemographic data and the Coping Strategies Inventory by Folkman and Lazarus. The variables associated with the study were verified by bivariate analysis. The qualitative data were discussed by Categorical-Content Thematic Analysis. Results: in the quantitative stage the coping strategies more frequently used by nurse practitioners were Positive reappraisal (1,26±0,62), Problem-solving (1,14±0,56) and Self-controlling (1,14±0,56). There was also a significative comparison between the strategies Social Support (1,01±0,53), Distancing (0,89±0,50, Accepting responsibility (0,86±0,65), Escape/Avoidance (0,85±0,56) and Confrontation (0,85±0,65). The professionals attributed motivation to move forward, collective support to deal with stressful situations, and the responsibility to fulfill their professional obligations even when faced with a high workload. Conclusions: most nursing professionals used functional strategies to face problems in the context of the pandemic. Using the strategies does not exclude the provision of space for discussing the difficulties related to the daily work of these professionals.
