Abstract
The present study aims to investigate the psychological stress levels among nursing staff by measuring anxiety scores using the GAD-7 scale. This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Bahria town international hospital Lahore. 121 nursing staff were included in the study and divided into two groups. Group A was not directly involved in managing covid-19 patients, whereas group B was directly in contact with COVID-19 patient management. Our findings indicate a significant increase in anxiety levels among the exposed group. These results suggest that healthcare administrative authorities should consider these findings better to support the psychological well-being of nursing healthcare professionals.
