Introduction: Studies have indicated that during times of psychological stress, physicians drink more alcohol. Problem drinking may result from psychological stress, especially stress associated to pandemics. Frontline physicians bear a disproportionate amount of the burden of this unprecedented COVID-19 situation, as they perform activities connected to the virus nonstop, which is causing psychological discomfort in them. Research on the potential consequences of stress associated to COVID-19 and the incidence of drunkenness among junior physicians in India is lacking. Aims: To estimate the prevalence of alcohol use, Perceived stress associated with COVID 19, any changes in alcohol dependence among junior residents of one Tertiary care center of India and any relation between Perceived stress and alcohol dependence. Material and methods: This is an Observational Study. It's conducted at R G Kar Medical College and Hospital. 78 junior Residents of R G Kar medical college, Kolkata who are performing COVID related duties. Study was done through interview. Result: In Alcohol Use, the mean Familial Alcohol Use (mean± s.d.) of patients was 2.2± 2.2. Distribution of mean Familia alcoholism among junior residents highlights the urgent need for comprehensive interventions aimed at addressing underlying stressors and promoting the mental health and wellbeing of healthcare professionals. Stakeholders may lessen the negative consequences of stress and alcohol abuse by encouraging an environment of openness, resilience, and support in healthcare settings. This will eventually protect junior residents' health and effectiveness while advancing the provision of high-quality patient care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
