Abstract:
The current study aimed to explore the role of fear of Covid-19 on perturbation among medical doctors. A quantitative research was designed by using online questionnaire based survey to obtain data through convenient sampling. The sample consisted of 201 doctors from different Public and Private Hospitals of South Punjab (Pakistan). A priori power analysis calculated by using G*power analysis 3.1.9 for correlation. The instruments used to collect the data were fear of COVID-19 Scale, emotion regulation questionnaire (ERQ) and mental health inventory. A significant positive correlation was found between fear of COVID-19, cognitive reappraisal, expressive suppression and positive effect on mental health among doctors. On comparison fear of COVID-19, anxiety, depression, and behavioural control of mental health among doctors has shown no correlation while cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression also depicted insignificant relation with mental health. Dependent variable (expressive suppression) significantly explained by the independent variable fear of COVID-19. The result specified that dependent variable of depression is non-significantly explained by the independent variable i.e. fear of COVID-19. Our study has explained that fear of COVID-19 has shown a noteworthy impact on positive effect of mental health while COVID-19 has non-significantly effect on behavioural control.
