Abstract

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, biochemists have played a fundamental role in the front line, involved in the diagnosis and monitoring of this disease. In this study, we seek to know their real working situation in this context, as well as to inform us about how they were affected by the degree of stress derived from the tension to which they have been subjected in the development of their activities. We use the survey method, in which biochemists from all over the country participated.
