Due to movement The social distancing and online teaching during COVID-19 pandemic had impact on student learning, We aimed to assess the prevalence of anxiety, depression and resilience of medical students to COVID-19 related worries during pandemic. We conducted a cross-sectional study among 1200 undergraduate medical students. The survey questionnaires has six parts; demography information, modified version of COVID-19 related worries, the impact of COVID-19 in teaching and learning, resilience using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, generalized anxiety disorder 7-item (GAD-7) scale 0.001. Female students had significantly higher anxiety (regression coefficient 2.03; 95% confidence interval 0.92 to 3.15; P0.001) and COVID-19 related worries (regression coefficient 2.91; 95% confidence interval 1.48 to 4.35; P0.001) than male students. A significant proportion of medical students experienced anxiety and depressive symptoms, with varying degrees of severity. We emphasize the need for targeted support and interventions to address anxiety, depression, and promote resilience.
