ABSTRACT

Corona Virus-19 had a detrimental effect on people's ability to live a healthy and active lifestyle. Social life is impacted by this outbreak, resulting in anxiety and psychosomatic illness. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of social, physical, and psychological factors on perinatal women enrolled in tertiary health care facilities established during the COVID-19 pandemic. At Saifai' tertiary level hospital, a cross-sectional observational study was conducted. A questionnaire calibrated on the Likert scale was administered to 72 inpatient perinatal mothers to assess their levels of anxiety (n=04), social network dependency (n=03), and quality of life (n=02). Physical characteristics were derived from baseline data. Each section's scores were added together. Group C has the highest mean anxiety level, followed by Groups D, A, and B. When compared using one-way ANOVA, the results are statistically significant at p<0>
