Abstract

Mental health disorders among healthcare workers remain a growing concern, particularly in under-researched settings. While global evidence has documented the burden of these disorders, there is limited empirical data from Kintampo North Municipality. This study assessed the prevalence and correlates of stress, depression, and anxiety among health workers in Kintampo North Municipal Hospital. A hospital-based cross-sectional study involving 316 healthcare workers was conducted at Kintampo North Municipal Hospital. Standardised tools, including the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-21), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI-21), were used to assess stress, depression, and anxiety, respectively. Descriptive statistics, Pearson’s chi-square tests, and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed using STATA 17. Variables with p ≤ 0.25 in the bivariate model were included in the multivariate model. Adjusted odds ratios (AORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were reported at a significance level of p
