Abstract: Introduction: SARS-CoV-2/Corona virus is a novel virus that has been added to the list of infectious diseases. Uncertainty about the course of the disease, absence of proper treatment, underdeveloped infrastructure, unstructured and frequently changing guidelines, and improper planning left the whole health care system in an abysmal situation. The lockdown kind of situation added to the misery of people. All these factors have affected people as well as HCW economically, socially, and psychologically. Aim: This study is to assess and compare the psychosocial (perceived happiness, professional attitude), behavioral changes (depression, anxiety, burnout, and subjective happiness), and the generalized ability of one to regulate behavior under stressful situations among health care personnel who are working in COVID & Non-COVID areas. Material & Method: This study is comprised of 164 clinical nurses, out of which 110 were posted in the non-COVID area while 54 were in the COVID area. The data has been collected in the month of July-December,2020 and assessed for psychosocial factors and behavioral changes in both areas separately by using standardized and self-developed validated tools. The eventual outcome was analyzed in terms of various factors including perceived happiness, professional attitude, depression, anxiety, burnout, subjective happiness, etc. utilizing standard statistical methods. Results: Self-administered tools have been provided to the clinical nurses and got filled from both the areas i.e. COVID and Non-COVID of the AIIMS, Delhi. The frequency of anxiety, depression, burnout, and compromised ability to regulate their behavior is higher in those HCPs who are working in the COVID area than in those working in the non-COVID area. Depression, burnout, and perceived discrimination have been assessed significantly higher in those HCPs who are working in the COVID area. Depression and anxiety in the COVID group were found to be correlated with one’s ability to regulate behavior. Subjective happiness is found to be negatively correlated with depression, i.e, a person with depression feels more unhappy. Staying with family members is found to have a negative impact on the generalized ability to regulate behavior, and the professional attitude and level of burnout of HCPs could be because of the highly infectious and fatal nature of COVID 19 pandemic. Conclusion: HCPs were affected by a wide range of factors, including physical, psychological, socioeconomic, and cultural factors, which affect wellbeing at large. Psychosocial preparedness is the need of the hour. The government and stakeholders must understand the pandemic's psychosocial morbidities and analyze the burden, mortality, and implications. Controlling the transmission of harmful information/misinformation, causing undue alarm in society requires ICT-based awareness activities from reputable sources need to be developed on an urgent basis.
