Abstract

Faced with the health emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an increase in symptoms of stress and anxiety in several countries. To combat these symptoms, people have different methods that have to do with flexible coping, which helps maintain psychological well-being and emotional balance in situations of fear and uncertainty. This bibliographic review work aims to establish a relationship between anxiety and coping in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of different studies show that when anxiety symptoms increase, flexible coping decreases and a greater psychological impact is associated with very high levels of stress, anxiety and depression. Coping during the pandemic would be a perceptual process, where strategies are generated according to the needs of each person.
