The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in changes in mental health worldwide, including health workers as the frontline in handling it. The mental health of health workers is a problem that needs to be measured and known as information to improve the quality of the COVID-19 response. Through this research, the level of mental health will be measured, which consists of stress, anxiety, and depression.
A total of 76 research subjects were selected through purposive sampling with the characteristics of having worked for one year in handling Covid in areas with high Covid-19 rates. The measurement instrument used is DASS42 which is administered online. Based on the results of descriptive data analysis, it is known that 40.79% of health workers show low mental health problems. In detail, 9.2% and 1.5% of health workers had moderate and severe depression. 5.26% and 5.26% of health workers have severe and very severe anxiety. Moreover, there is 5.26% and 3.94% of health workers have moderate and severe stress categories. Based on the data, it is also known that the medical profession shows the most symptoms of mental health problems.
