Cl.; Moreta Herrera, Carlos Rodrigo Psc. Cl. MSc.The analysis of the topic regarding: Application of the Benson relaxation technique for stress management in pregnant women during the health emergency due to COVID–19, arises from the need to help minimize the effects generated by the COVID pandemic– 19, with lethal consequences on the population at the global, national and local levels, so that the present study focused on a vulnerable segment of the population on whom confinement, risk of contagion, security measures, mobility restrictions , among others, increased stress levels, added to her state of pregnancy. In this sense, the objective was to apply the Benson relaxation technique to evaluate coping styles in stressful situations in pregnant women during the health emergency due to COVID-19. The methodology was eminently quantitative, of a quasi-experimental type, with application of pretest and posttest to a control group of 30 pregnant mothers and study 30 women under equal conditions, with the possibility of performing an intervention with the Benson technique. From which it was possible to obtain results that revealed that coping styles for stress management in pregnant women lead to the suppression of competent activities, but active coping stands out in the post-test. Thus, it is concluded that in coping styles that focus on emotion and the problem, they improve considerably with the intervention with the Benson technique in stress management in pregnant mothers.
