Cases and death counts rise as the world continues to scuffle with the COVID-19 pandemic and its catastrophic effects. Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at a heightened risk of developing psychological distress during the pandemic as a result of extreme work demands and poor experiences of recovery. This study aimed to evaluate the mental health outcomes of HCWs in hospitals during the pandemic and explore the associated psychosocial, individual, and work-related factors of depression and anxiety among them. The present study employed a cross-sectional survey study design. Participants from the Department of Medicine, Department of Surgery, and Department of Emergency were recruited via an online based questionnaire. A validated screening tool, the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) questionnaire was utilized to assess the status of anxiety and depression among the HCWs. The prevalence of anxiety and depression among the HCWs were 12.2% (95% CI: 0.09-0.15) and 1.4% (95% CI: 0.01-0.03), respectively. Multiple logistic regression analysis further demonstrated that being male (OR = 1.581; 95% CI: 0.997-2.507, P = .050) and having work-related stigma was significantly associated with anxiety (OR = 2.635; 95% CI: 1.530-4.538, P = .001).
