    A study on Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Resilience, and Sleep Quality among Physicians working with COVID’19 Cases in India
    (INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INNOVATIVE RESEARCH IN TECHNOLOGY, 2025) Ananya Mishra, Jyotsana Shukla
    Abstract—This research aimed to study and compare the levels of depression, anxiety, stress, resilience and quality of sleep in Physicians Working with COVID’19 cases and Physicians working with Non COVID’19 cases in private and public hospitals in Lucknow city, India, during the COVID'19 pandemic. Data was collected via Google Form. Participants were required to fill out demographic datasheet and answer standardized questionnaires on depression, anxiety, stress, resilience and quality of sleep. Purposive sampling method was used. Interestingly, no significant difference was found between the two groups on the depression, anxiety, stress, resilience and quality of sleep. However, mean scores indicated that Physicians Working with COVID’19 cases experienced more anxiety, stress and a poorer sleep quality as compared to Physicians working with Non COVID’19 cases. Those physicians who worked with COVID’19 cases scored higher on resilience and lower on depression as compared to those physicians who were working with Non COVID’19 cases. The reasons could be that the former developed more resilience in order perhaps due to the support available from the trained staff, appropriate security/safety measures, family support and teamwork. The variables that would contribute to their better mental health need to be further explored so that the Physicians’ mental health can be further promoted through relevant interventions and psychoeducation, during challenging times such as the COVID’19.

    Psychological Distress and Consequences of COVID-19 Pandemic on Different Groups
    (Bentham Science Publishers, 2023) Saimah Khan; Arshi H. Khan
    The novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) is extensively spreading all over the world, causing unprecedented hazards to mental health globally. The global pandemic of COVID-19 has been strongly impacting humanity and continues to influence all segments of the population since its origin. While dealing with such a public health crisis, past experiences have witnessed generalised public fear and anxieties due to uncertainty, causality and lack of public health preparedness. Therefore, it is important to acknowledge the detrimental effect of COVID-19 on the mental health of individuals of different age groups. This chapter aims to explore the impact of this unprecedented atmosphere on the mental health of the elderly, healthcare workers, children, adolescents and young people, pre-existing mental health conditions, post COVID-19 patients, women, homeless people and refugees. The chapter presents the direct and indirect psychological impact of COVID-19 on the genera at the individual, societal and public health levels. It will discuss at length some emerging concepts of the causal routes of mental disorders and suggest some strategies to prevent and promote mental health problems in individuals during this crisis. For the general population at large, just like physical effects, it is important to address the impact of COVID-19 on mental health effects as well. Various studies reported that mental problems such as anxiety, depression and fear of getting infected were common among people of all age groups who responded to COVID-19. The important lessons to be learned so far can help to devise individual mental health recommendations, as well as improved interventions and preventions of public health approaches.
