| description | Background: COVID-19 pandemic causes major impact on economic, physical, mental well-being of people all over the world. Doctors are working in stressful, unprepared, limited resource setting, and they are under the continuous threat of getting infection. Managing mental health of these warriors is great importance. Hence the present study to estimate the psychological impact of COVID-19* and factors associated with it among doctors in tertiary care hospital, Madurai. Methods: A Cross-sectional study was conducted during October–November 2020 using a pre-designed semi structured questionnaire and DASS-21 scale which were sent through Google form to doctors who were in their quarantine period after the COVID duty. Totally 292 responses were received. Descriptive statistics done to find frequencies and percentages. Correlation for continuous variables; Univariate and multivariate regression for categorical variables were used to predict the factors influencing the psychological impact. Results: In our study, 42.1% doctors were depressed, 43.8% were stressed and 50.7% had anxiety. Depression*, anxiety*, stress* scores were positively correlated with number of COVID duties(r2 0.163,0.138,0.133), number of elderly persons(r2 0.188,0.169,0.188) in their family and negatively correlated with sleep duration(r 2–0.219,-0.281,-0.239), attitude of study participants(r2-0.319,-0.274,-0.291). Multiple logistic regression showed that disturbed sleep(odd'sratio = 3.931,2.734,3.420) and poor quality of sleep which affect the next day function(odd'sratio = 3.470,2.968,3.122) were significant predictors for all three psychological impacts. Conclusion: High prevalence of psychological impact estimated, ensures the requirement of early screening with timely psychological intervention and establishment of guideline policies to support mental health of healthcare workers* for maintaining the functionality of healthcare system. |
