Abstract :  The primary objective of the research was to investigate the degree of psychological distress that is present among COVID-19 patients and the impact that different demographic factors, such as gender and employment have on psychological distress. For this study, researchers contacted a total of N=134 COVID-19 patients. After collecting the data, the level of psychological distress was calculated and found to be high. Additionally, different groups on the basis of demographic variables were compared on psychological distress by applying the t-test, and it was found that male and female was significantly different on psychological distress, and employed and unemployed found to be significantly different on psychological distress. In addition, data were described in depth in the social context in the area of the current study that was devoted to discussing the results and drawing conclusions from them.
