Abstract

A total of 355 complete responses were collected from Bangladeshi healthcare professionals aged 20-60 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Participants included 204 males and 151 females.
Four psychometric measures were used to assess loneliness, depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbance.
The UCLA loneliness scale-8, PHQ-9, GAD-7, and Pittsburgh sleep quality index were applied to evaluate mental health.
Descriptive analysis of psychometric variables was conducted among the participants.
The dataset may serve as a foundation for future research on mental health evaluations.

The present dataset is concerned with an article entitled "Effect of COVID-19 pandemic on mental health among Bangladeshi healthcare professionals: A cross-sectional study" [1]. This data article consists of a dataset regarding the mental health of Bangladeshi healthcare professionals (HCPs) during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We collected the data from July 15, 2020, to September 20, 2020, using Google survey tools (Google Forms). A total of 355 complete responses have been obtained from the Bangladeshi HCPs aged between 20-60 years (male: 204, female: 151). We obtained informed consent from all participants for this study. We assessed the sociodemographic profile and four psychometric measures of HCPs working in Bangladesh during the COVID-19 pandemic. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the demographic information. We used the UCLA loneliness scale-8 (UCLA-8), the patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), the 7-item generalized anxiety disorder scale (GAD-7), and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) were applied to measure loneliness, depression, generalized anxiety, and sleep disturbance, respectively. This dataset presents the descriptive analysis of psychometric variables of participants. Also, the dataset might be used as a platform for future research on psychometric evaluation using the above scales. We included participants regardless of the sociodemographic backgrounds of HCPs. Therefore, the policymakers, government, and non-government organizations can use this data to develop different programs for promoting the mental health of HCPs and the general population in Bangladesh.
