Study Overview
Brief Summary
| The extreme pressures experienced by healthcare workers during a pandemic may not only increase their risk of burnout, but also, have adverse outcomes for individual wellbeing, patient care and the healthcare system. Hence, it is necessary to evaluate the ability of healthcare workers to cope with the stress. |
Till date, there are no studies to evaluate coping strategies being used by frontline healthcare workers. “Coping†is defined broadly as an effort used to minimize distress associated with negative life experiences.
Psychological assistance services, including telephone-, internet and application-based counselling or intervention, have been widely deployed by local and national mental health institutions in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. However, evidence-based evaluations and mental health interventions targeting front-line health care workers are relatively scarce.
So we plan to do this study involving healthcare workers working in covid designated areas and involved in direct care of patients with covid 19 disease
