This review aimed comprehensively assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of HCWs in India.

A total of 31 studies were included in this review (27 quantitative studies, three qualitative studies, and one mixed-method study).

The qualitative analysis resulted in the themes: challenges faced, and coping strategies used during the COVID-19 pandemic.
