The novelty of the disease, absence of vaccine, transmission pattern of infection, unpredictable and uncertain nature of infection, unprepared healthcare services were additional factors contributing to the stress of high number of infected cases. These factors can cause significant disturbance in state of mental health of caregivers on the frontline who have direct exposure to infected patients as well as suspected with infected and quarantined individuals. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of Depression, Anxiety, Stress and Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms experienced by healthcare workers on frontline in Mumbai and Thane, Maharashtra, India in the midst of outbreak which are the most affected cities of the Nation.

India being a country of traditions and family values, this informal care-giver is usually a family member. These care-givers, being untrained in this job undergo tremendous stress. Available research studies the burden individually in the relatives of chronically medically ill patients and those of psychiatrically ill patients. Furthermore the previous research targets the burden in individual diseases. This study stands out as it makes a comparison between the two broad groups, taking into account almost all possible chronic diseases in each group.Methods:This is a cross-sectional analytical descriptive study that was conducted on the family caregivers of chronically medically ill and psychiatrically ill patients, using the Caregiver's Burden Scale. Data were analyzed by SPSS 20 statistical software and Pearson correlation coefficient tests. Significant difference between area of caregiver burden of medicine and psychiatric patients was tested using relative deviate “Z” of SEDM test at 5% level of significance.Result:There is a significant difference between each category of Caregiver's Burden Scale among chronically medically ill and psychiatrically ill patients. (P < 0.05).Conclusion:The outcome of this study may help the health care providers in designing stress relief programs for primary care-givers. Overall this study may help better delivery systems of care for both the chronically medically ill as well as psychiatrically ill patients, by proper specific framing and psycho education programs for the caregivers of specific chronic illnesses.
