The COVID-19 pandemic has overwhelmed the global healthcare system, affecting healthcare workers (HCWs) in a variety of ways. The current study gives insight into the psychological issues that HCWs confront in their career, family, and personal well- being, as well as the accompanying stigmas. Furthermore, their coping methods and perspectives on treatments to address these issues were investigated. A qualitative research was done between October and November 2021 among 109 HCWs participating in COVID- 19 management across 3 districts of Rajasthan state utilising in-depth telephone interviews and an interview guide. HCWs describe significant changes in their work-life situation, including high workload with inconsistent timings compounded by longer periods of cumbersome personal protective equipment usage, periods of quarantine, and long periods of separation from family. The biggest obstacle was being apart from family, the strain of caregiving, especially for females with newborns and toddlers, and anxiety of infecting relatives. The fear of contagion fueled stigma from the community and peers, which appeared as avoidance and rejection. Coping mechanisms included friend and family support, as well as positive experiences such as praise and acknowledgement for their role in the epidemic. The study illustrates the psychological strain experienced by HCWs providing COVID-19 care services. The outcomes of the study highlight to the necessity for need-based psychosocial treatments at the organisational, societal, and individual levels. This includes a conducive working environment that includes periodic evaluation of HCW problems, workforce rotation by engaging more staff, debunking of false information, community and HCW participation in COVID sensitization to allay fears and prevent stigma associated with COVID-19 infection/transmission, and finally need-based psychological support for them and their families.
