Decoding Stress of Doctors and Nursing Staff during Covid-19 in Leading Social Entrepreneur Sponsored Hospitals in Odisha

The present paper is an initiative to understand the various issues related to the stress faced by the doctors and nursing staff during the pandemic. As compared with other professions, the life of medical professionals is different due to their unique job expectation.  A lot of researchers have tried to address this issue but during this period of pandemic very limited research has been undertaken. In this direction, the present paper will provide an additional contribution to the existing literature. The objectives of the study are to decode the dynamics of stress issues faced by these frontline workers and to suggest remedial measures. For this purpose, more focus is made on primary data, and the scope of the study is restricted to selected hospitals around the capital region of Odisha.
