Abstract/Summary

Stress, anxiety, and depression are conditions that are normally felt by the human person. However, if the levels are severe, it could be detrimental to health and how one would function. This study aimed to see the stress, anxiety, and depression levels of the residents at Makati Medical Center, correlating these factors to shift time. The study made use of a questionnaire, primarily made up of the Depression Anxiety Stress Survey 21 (DASS-21). No correlation was found between shift time and depression, anxiety, and stress levels. However a trend was observed where the night shift was always found to have higher scores than the morning shift. Also, a positive moderate correlation was found between the DASS-21 scores and stress coping. This suggests that shift time does not greatly affect the residents’ depression, anxiety and stress levels because they are able to cope with the difficulties of their job.
