Resumen

Los recientes acontecimientos que están azotando el planeta en todas sus dimensiones (medioambientales, sanitarias, económicas, políticas, etc.) están contribuyendo a que el ser humano se encuentre desprovisto de recursos personales con los que hacerles frente. Durante la primera ola de la pandemia de COVID-19, los profesionales considerados esenciales como las Fuerzas y Cuerpos de Seguridad intentaron proveer a la población de cierto bienestar y seguridad, pero pagaron el alto precio de que muchos miembros de este colectivo generaron ansiedad ante la muerte, sobre todo producida en aquellos que estuvieron en primera línea. Este estudio, mediante el empleo de una metodología descriptiva y de naturaleza mixta, pretende conocer y determinar el nivel de ansiedad ante la muerte de una amplia muestra de estos profesionales (n = 1705) y realizar un análisis antropológico y social de sus percepciones ante los acontecimientos. Los resultados han demostrado una significativa presencia de ansiedad ante la muerte en los miembros de las Fuerzas y Cuerpos de Seguridad, especialmente durante la primera fase de la pandemia, que permiten distintas interpretaciones antropológicas.
