Abstract

Health care workers toil in some of the most difficult circumstances, and the pandemic has only increased the pressure on them, which means they need to find more ways to de-stress. This research involves the study of stress that the employees in healthcare sector experiencing throughout the pandemic and the strategies to overcome the stress. Data was collected using structed questionnaire from nurses and other staff. The sample for the study consisted of a total of 100 employees, determined by the judgmental sampling method. ANOVA was used to test hypotheses to find the relationship between age and stress and the relationship between work-life balance and stress. Majority of the respondents are highly suffering from stress during pandemic and most of them are female employees, in which most of them are suffering from depression and anxiety at work. It was also found that this stress is mainly due to their work load, responsibilities, and physical assaults that they experienced during the pandemic. Another important finding is that there is no relationship between age, work-life balance, and stress. It is important for the organisation to give proper guidance and training to overcome such situations, but here they are providing only limited resources, which are affecting them very badly.
