The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the emergence of various social and economic problems that have caused anxiety for mothers in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in the level of anxiety between stay-at-home mothers and working mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic and its causes. The research method was survey with a total sample of 276 people. The research instrument was the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), while the statistical analysis used the independent sample T-test.
