Summary

Psychological stress (PSS) is one of the most common problems among healthcare providers during COVID-19 pandemic. PSS influences the homeostatic equilibrium of the body, involving activation of the sympathetic nervous system and hypothalamus pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis. Copeptin; C-terminal portion of Vasopressin (AVP) precursor is stable. Nevertheless, Evidence about influence of PSS on copeptin levels is lacking. The reason we are doing this research is to determine the level of psychological stress among healthcare providers exposed to at the time of work in intensive care unit (ICU) during COVID-19 pandemic; They will be appraised every assembly for psychological stress level; before start of duty shifts (first time), one week after start (second time) and two weeks after departure from shift duties in ICU (third time) for assessment of psychological stress level and stress hormones.
