However, only a fewer study reported on psychological distress among non-clinical workers. This study is aimed to determine the prevalence of depression anxiety and stress among non-clinical workers and factors that associated with it. A total of 63 non-clinical workers take part and completed the DASS 42 questionnaire as well as demographic form. The prevalence of moderate, severe and extremely severe level of depression anxiety and stress were 12.7%, 30.2% and 8% respectively. Depression was significantly associated with exposure toward sexual harassment and bully, communication problem among co-workers and superior and tight deadlines.
