Abstract

Healthcare employees face a higher risk of adverse psychological health outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is critical to comprehend health-care workers’ well-being and the factors that most influence their well-being because of the Covid-19 pandemic’s impact at the individual, interpersonal, organizational, community, and public levels, as well as some of the motivating and upsetting factors of health-care workers at each level. This study aims to bring out the major factors causing stress for health care workers during the pandemic. The sample size of the study is 84. The results found that fear of infecting family members is the major reason for causing stress. Workers are motivated to save people’s lives, but it is other people’s ignorance that upsets them the most. The burnout level of the employees was found to be high due to increased working hours and their overall wellbeing has decreased. The study makes recommendations for medical organizations, the general public, and the government to improve their overall well-being by lowering stress levels.
