I am looking out for a good Tool Quantitative or Qualitative to assess the Mental Health status of staff Nurses during the COVID Pandemic
The selection of tool depends on the specific mental health problems that you want to address. Various scales address a different aspect of mental health:
- Kessler Psychological Distress Scale
- Columbia Suicide Severity Rating
- Substance Dependence Severity Scale
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder-2
- Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A)
- Patient Health Questionnaire-2
- PC-PTSD-5
- General Health Questionaire-12
- Perceived Stress Scale-10
- Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale -21
- WHO's Self-Reporting Questionnaire-20
- Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R)
Some tools are free and few are paid.
These may also be of interest:

- Factors influencing psychological distress during a disease ...
These tools need to be adapted in cultural context before use and important to acknowledge the original developer of the tool.
Hope this is helpful.
Best Wishes,

I would suggest using a simple stress scale such as that recommended by the colleague previously, plus a general screening tool such as the GHQ-12 or the Self Reporting Questionnaire. Both are translated or validated in Hindi and English (but I also believe in Urdu)
Hi Scholar, you may consider use GHQ-12 but you should obtain permission prior to use..
