Abstract Frontline Health Care Workers are at risk of developing mental and psychological distress during the Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. This study aimed to assess the level of stress, anxiety, depression and their associated factors among health care workers during the Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic in Nepal. The symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression among health care workers were found to be 28.9%, 35.6% and 17.0% respectively. Females were found to be 2 fold more likely to have anxiety and depression than males. Nurses were found to be two times more likely to have anxiety than doctors. Laboratory personnel were almost three folds more likely to have anxiety than doctors. Health care workers with insufficient/ no PPE were almost threefold more likely to have depression. Health care workers working in high-risk areas had almost 2 fold higher odds of having depression.
