        abstract = {This research aimed to study and compare the levels of depression, anxiety, stress, resilience and quality of sleep in Physicians Working with COVID’19 cases and Physicians working with Non COVID’19 cases in private and public hospitals in Lucknow city, India, during the COVID'19 pandemic. Data was collected via Google Form. Participants were required to fill out demographic datasheet and answer standardized questionnaires on depression, anxiety, stress, resilience and quality of sleep. Purposive sampling method was used. Interestingly, no significant difference was found between the two groups on the depression, anxiety, stress, resilience and quality of sleep. However, mean scores indicated that Physicians Working with COVID’19 cases experienced more anxiety, stress and a poorer sleep quality as compared to Physicians working with Non COVID’19 cases. Those physicians who worked with COVID’19 cases scored higher on resilience and lower on depression as compared to those physicians who were working with Non COVID’19 cases. The reasons could be that the former developed more resilience in order perhaps due to the support available from the trained staff, appropriate security/safety measures, family support and teamwork. The variables that would contribute to their better mental health need to be further explored so that the Physicians’ mental health can be further promoted through relevant interventions and psychoeducation, during challenging times such as the COVID’19.},
