The aim of this study is to develop a questionnaire to evaluate distress levels like this. Considering the RIU knowledge transfer model and using a researcher-designed questionnaire to assess distress levels in the general population and healthcare workers, an online survey was conducted in the summer of 2019 in Tehran province. In the general population, in the study period, all independent variables, including socio-economic stress, respect to health protocols, trust in healthcare officials and job distress of medical staff, have significant effects on general distress. The socio-economic stress variable had the greatest impact. The regression model from this study allows the policymaker to estimate the general distress level of the society according to the independent variables studied. Despite the high effect of stressors, the study population's psychological resilience level is acceptable during the study period. They still trust healthcare officials and respect health protocols. However, considering the differences in the findings of various studies on distress level and it is strengthening factors show the need for accurate and continuous monitoring of societal changes at different times of the pandemic.
