| description | Aim: The study was aimed at calculating the levels of stress, anxiety, and depression among medical and health-care workers working in hospitals that catered to COVID-19 patients. Methodology: A total of 471 healthcare and medical personnel filled up an online socio-demographic pro forma and answered the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress scale. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square test where appropriate. Results: The sample consisted of medical personnel and nurses. Majority were married and male. The levels of anxiety and stress were reported to be higher in males while depression was reported higher in females. Being unmarried and not having children were factors that showed higher depression levels while no socio-demographic factors showed a trend with anxiety and stress. Conclusion: Depression, anxiety, and stress are common in medical personnel and health-care workers working in the COVID-19 pandemic. Sound mental health interventions for these workers and large studies in specific populations are needed to corroborate these findings. |
