Coronaviruses is a large family of viruses, which can cause illness with mild to severe symptoms. The virus that causes COVID-19 called Sars-CoV-2. Corona virus is zoonotic (transmitted between animals and humans). Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new type of disease that has never been identified in humans before. This diseases spread quickly, and can cause death. Meanwhile, there’s no cure for this disease. This pandemic is causing anxiety in people, especially on health workers, because they’re dealing directly with patients exposed to COVID-19. One way to reduce stress and anxiety is with online intervention. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of online interventions on stress and anxiety in health workers during pandemic. The analysis test using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test showed that there was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test groups, with a significance of p<0.05. These results indicate that there was a change in the group before and after the training. The average stress score before the online intervention was 7.5 while the average score after the online intervention was 4.0. The average anxiety score before the online intervention was 7.0 and the score after the intervention was 3.3.
