The nation is going through the second wave of corona virus, where all the people of the country are staying at their homes and praying for their wellness, doctors are working at corona wards for the safety of the people. Lack of personal protective equipments (PPE), unable to help some patients who are waiting outside the emergencies as the beds are as of now loaded up with the limits. Patients are passing on in light of the fact that the hospital organizations can't assist the patients with the proper oxygen supply, consistently every second minute we hear the news of an individual, some are dying at the ventilators and another are dying because they are not able to find oxygen cylinder. The cremation grounds have no space for the last ceremonies of the dead bodies, relatives are sitting tight in lines for the last customs of their loved ones and in these critical situations doctors are working tremendously, to get infected or to bring infection at their homes, the fear of losing their near and dear ones, the feeling of helplessness in front of their patients are always in their minds. The present study was led with the aim to assess the stress among clinical specialists in India who are working during Covid-19. A comparative analysis of the level of stress among male and female specialists was also conducted. The data was collected online using Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) through Google-docs and Type-forms. The results found that 63% of doctors experience moderately high perceived stress and the female doctors scored more on stress in comparison of male doctors, which defies considerable level of stress at the hospitals. The study points towards the need of interventions at the workplaces of the doctors to help them coping-up with their mental stress.
