Abstract
This study investigates the association between stress levels and mental health among COVID-19 infected hospitalised male patients in Himachal Pradesh. Utilizing a linear regression model, the study examines whether elevated stress levels are significantly linked to diminished mental health outcomes. To ensure sample diversity, data were collected from 100 hospitalised male patients across five districts: Lahaul-Spiti, Kullu, Mandi, Una, and Shimla. Statistical analysis revealed a significant negative correlation, indicating that higher stress levels were associated with poorer mental health, which in turn deteriorated the psychological health status of this population. These findings underscore the importance of integrating psychosocial support into clinical care, particularly during public health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
