A balance was needed between personal health and fulfilling professional duties. Previous research identified barriers in the willingness and ability of health care professionals to work in a hypothetical pandemic scenario. Our aim was to identify if such barriers existed amongst a largely Asian health care work force in delivering their professional responsibilities at the initial phase of COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A GDPR compliant survey of 28 questions was designed using Microsoft forms. Social media (WhatsApp and Facebook messenger group) and professional emails were used to contact health care workers internationally. Data were analysed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS24. Results: 334 responded; 188 doctors (56·3%) and 90 nurses (26·9%). 236 participants lived in south Asia (70·7%) and 81 in Europe (24·3%). 215 out of 334 (64·4%) were Indians, 60 (18%) Bangladeshi and 41 (12·3%) Caucasian. A positive association between obesity (perceived) and fear of COVID-19 infection was found (OR 1·77 (95% CI 1·06, 2·98)). We didn't find any association between ages of the participants, country of residence, ethnicity or comorbidities with worry of being infected by COVID-19. Our respondents mostly remained satisfied with their profession. Only 37 out of 334 (11%) said they wished they were in a different profession. Conclusion: Contrary to predictive data, health care workers showed a more balanced approach in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic from the very early days of the 1 pandemic according to real time data.

Whereas mental health means an absence of mental illness and can be measured through usage of different scales or inventories. Present study is an attempt to assess mental health, anger and emotional regulation among early and late adolescents including both male and female students. Method: To understand present aim of the study a total sample of 120 were taken from Delhi University (D.U) and Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI). We further divided our sample into early adolescent aged 13-15 yrs. and late adolescents aged 16-19 yrs. Further sample was split on the basis of gender, thus 60 subjects were divided into 30 male adolescent and 30 female adolescents in both the groups (2×2 factorial design). Tools Used: (1). PGI Health Questionnaire: developed by Verma, Wig, Parshad (1978) (2). The Clinical Anger Scale (CAS) developed by Snell (1995) (3). Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) developed by Gross and John (2003). Result: It was found that early and late adolescents did not differ significantly on the measure of mental health. However while comparing early and late adolescents on the measure of Clinical Anger, it was found that there was a significant difference between the two groups. Clinical anger was found higher in age range of 13-15 as compared to 16-19. Female were found higher than male on the measure of mental health.

Aim: The study focuses on exploring the prevalence and association between internalized stigma and self esteem among patients with psychiatric disorders. Methods: This hospital-based study consisted of 360 patients diagnosed with any psychiatric disorders using a purposive sampling selected from the outpatient department (OPD) of the CIIMHANS, Dewada, Chhattisgarh, India. Patients were assessed through the socio-demographic datasheet, Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale (ISMI) and the Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). Results: The result of this study indicates that internalized stigma was seen to be at a severe level in just under half (42.8%) and more than half low self-esteem (54.2%) among patients with psychiatric disorders. In regression analysis, overall internalized stigma strongly contributes 75.5% to the variance on self-esteem and duration of illness.

Tools: Mini+ suicidality was used for screening suicidal ideation and Columbia suicide severity rating scale was used to assess the frequency and severity of the suicidal ideation. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean were used for data analysis. Results & Discussion: Out of 47 patients, 29 reported having suicidal ideations (62%). AUD suicidal ideation was more among persons belong to below poverty line, lower education level, unemployed, married, living with family of origin, nuclear family, urban, using tobacco.
