Abstract

Introduction: The World Health Organisation (WHO, 2020) classified the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak that began in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, to be a public health crisis requiring international attention on January 30, 2020. Healthcare professionals who are afflicted with SARS have gradually endured psychological distress. In several instances, dread and anxiety surfaced right away and subsided in the early phases of the epidemic; but, in the latter stages and for an extended period of time, sadness, psychiatric symptoms, and symptoms related to traumatic stress occurred, which had a significant impact.

Aims: To correlate the level of anxiety, depression and stress and the quality of life with physical activity.

Objectives: To measure the level of depression, anxiety and stress, quantify the level of quality of lives and physical activity and correlate DAS and quality of lives with physical activity.

Methodology: This study is a non-experimental correlational research study. Convenience sampling technique was used to measure 30 participants. The information was collected through online survey

Results: Correlation coefficient values of 0.05 and 0.18 seem to show that there might be a positive correlation between stress and depression with physical activity. But since the values are quite low, the correlation is not significant. The value of correlation coefficient between anxiety and physical activity is a negative value i.e, -0.03. There might be a negative correlation between anxiety and physical activity but again the value is very less indicating insignificant correlation.

Conclusion: It can be concluded that the correlation between physical activity and DAS as well as quality of life is uncertain and more studies need to be conducted in this area for gaining clarity of the same.
