Walking Beyond Crisis: Kerala Women’s Psychological Health During the Pandemic Era

The covid 19 pandemic has created a significant impact on the lives of people’s psychological health, and women have experienced particular difficulty because of the many roles and responsibilities that they take up in Kerala households. This is an effort to explore the psychological health of working and non-working women in Kerala. A random sampling method was used to collect the data from people working in different organizations, and the results were obtained. The finding suggests that working women were able to have more psychological well-being in specific dimensions like self-acceptance and purpose of life than non-working women. So, the study implies that we need to plan tailor-made interventions for women in Kerala, especially those limiting themselves to household work since their psychological well-being is affected.
