Fulltext PDFStress comes from the English word “Stress” which originates from the Italian word “stringere” and has the meaning of distressing, tightening. It has been used to describe a threatening situation on the organism, debilitating it and depleting its life energy reserve. Stress is a reaction of the body with psychological, physical, mental, behavioral and hormonal components, which occurs to adapt to an event or situation of intense distress. Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that cause illnesses ranging from the common cold to more serious illnesses such as Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). In December 2019 the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention described a new coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2 and announced a first stage of an outbreak, which can lead to a mild to severe acute respiratory syndrome, which has been called by the World Health Organization as COVID-19. The aim of this study will be to verify the level of stress in health professionals involved in the management of patients with COVID-19. This study is characterized as descriptive, with a crosssectional design and a quantitative approach. The sample consists of 178 health professionals (doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, nursing technicians and X-ray technicians) from all regions of Brazil, who answered two questionnaires: The first questionnaire that included the sample and the second is the Maslach Burnout Inventory questionnaire.
