The COVID-19 pandemic generated several consequences that affected the physical and emotional health of the population, being the health professionals the most affected because they had the mission to deal with the care of all those who suffered from the disease, in addition they had to face the shortage of protective equipment and personnel.

Materials and Method. Quantitative, descriptive, non-experimental, cross-sectional research. Data were collected using the Spanish version of the Stressor Impact Scale (EIE-R).
