Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus pandemic has taxed an unrivalled psychological stress substantially affecting the medical health care workers. However, there is a definitive lack of an evidence-based assessment and mental health attributes in the front-line health workers. To notify this gap, the current study was performed to evaluate the prevalence of depression, stress and anxiety among the health care workers and its correlation with various factors. Methods: The current cross-sectional study was conducted in 200 HCW in our tertiary care center. The primary outcomes were to compare the prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress among the health care workers. Thereafter we used multivariate regression to determine the factors correlated to either depression, anxiety or stress. The secondary outcome was to compare DASS (depression, anxiety, stress) between the first line worker and the second line worker and other commonly associated factors responsible for increased DASS-21 scores.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Healthcare workers who were not willing to participate or already have clinically diagnosed depression anxiety or any other mental illness were excluded from the study
