Objective: To assess level of anxiety, its associated factors and coping strategies in postgraduate trainees of public and
private teaching hospitals of Karachi
Study Design and Setting: It was a cross-sectional study. The data was collected from different major teaching hospitals
February 2019 till April
Methodology: A total of 230 postgraduate trainees were interviewed using a pre-tested structured questionnaire specifically
designed for this study which included General Anxiety Disorder-7 Scale and Brief COPE Questionnaire. Data were
analyzed on SPSS version 21. Chi-square test and multinomial logistic regression was performed and P-value <0.05 was
considered as statistically significant
Results: Total 39.6% of the participants had no anxiety, 34.3% had mild, 16.1% had moderate while 10.0% had severe
anxiety. Being single, nuclear family system and low monthly household income had higher odds of having severe anxiety
(Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR); 5.50, 95% CI 1.38,22.14, AOR; 2.50, 95% CI 0.83,7.51 and AOR; 3.17, 95% CI 0.96,10.49
respectively). Severe anxiety was also highly associated with irregular sleep pattern (AOR; 2.06, 95% CI 0.70, 6.06), no
daily exercise (AOR; 5.01, 95% CI 1.21, 2.69) and lack of job satisfaction (AOR; 2.64, 95% CI 0.90, 7.90). The most
frequently adapted coping strategies by participants who were found to have anxiety were, planning (89.9%), acceptance
(87%) and religion (85.6%).
Conclusion: Postgraduate trainees should be provided with psychological counseling and support at workplace to keep
them mentally healthy to enhance their everyday performance in dealing and treating patients.
