Abstract

Covid-19 pandemic has placed frontline workers under immense pressure, putting their physical & mental well-being at risk. Exposure to prolonged periods of stress has led to burnout, depression, reduced productivity at work & indulgence in unhealthy behaviours. The current study aims to study Burnout, Depression, Stress, Anxiety & Health in frontline workers. Standardized scales were used to measure the variables. A total of 60 frontline workers (30 Males & 30 Females) were taken. The results found out that Female frontline workers are higher on Depression, Stress & Anxiety as compared to Male frontline workers. Frontline workers can take actions to cope with stress by reaching out to friends & family virtually for support, maintaining healthy diet & seeking help from professional if the distress persists. Workplace flexibility among workers would improve worker well-being.
