Cover Story: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all social spaces, conditioning our daily routines, including those at work. All essential professions have been impacted by stressful and anxiety-inducing situations. In this context, many social workers have acted in extreme conditions arising from the health crisis. The present study aimed to determine the levels of death anxiety among social workers. An ad hoc questionnaire was designed, and descriptive analysis and binary logistic regressions were performed on the data. The main research results show high values of this anxiety in social workers. Predictor variables were identified, including the lack of personal protective equipment and the need for psychological or psychiatric support. In the essential professions, the emotional impact of the pandemic has been very significant. View this paper.
