Abstract
Anxiety is one of the factors that affects the mental health of pregnant women during the coronavirus pandemic, due to the physiological and vital changes in their pregnancy. The objective is to determine anxiety in pregnant women during the pandemic of coronavirus who go to a hospital in Lima. It is a quantitative, non-experimental, descriptive cross-sectional study, with a total population of 660 participants, who answered a survey with sociodemographic data and the state-trait anxiety scale. In the results, we observed that during the coronavirus pandemic, 16 (2.4%) of pregnant women presented low anxiety, 555 (84.1%) presented medium anxiety and 89 (13.5%) presented high anxiety. It is concluded psychological interventions are necessary for pregnant women and thus be able to help them during this stage in a safer and more trouble-free way during the coronavirus pandemic.
