<![CDATA[At this time Covid-19 is the most important problem and challenges world health organizations and governments around the world. Like other pandemics, covid-19 can cause serious mental health problems among the public and health workers. The important role of health workers during a pandemic makes them more vulnerable to anxiety and stress. This research is a descriptive study which aims to determine the level of anxiety of midwives in providing health services during the Covid-19 pandemic. The population in this study were midwives who provided midwifery services during the Covid 19 pandemic. Sampling was taken by total sampling, where 58 midwives were obtained who completed the research questionnaire. The instrument for assessing anxiety uses the GAD 7 (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7) anxiety measurement tool which is presented in the form of an electronic questionnaire via google form. The results showed that more than half of the respondents had no anxiety, less than half of the respondents had mild anxiety and a small proportion of respondents had moderate anxiety. It is very important for midwives to manage their own anxiety and anxiety to provide healthy psychosocial care to pregnant women whom they will care for during pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium.]]>
