The COVID-19 pandemic increased workload and stress for the healthcare workers leading to their burnout. To identify and compare the contributors and effects of increased stress between Georgia and the UAE. An e-questionnaire related to stress and its contributing factors was made on google forms and sent to HCP's throughout Georgia and the UAE. We received 75 responses, with 77% being HCP's from the UAE and 23% from Georgia. Most of the responders from Georgia stated that they felt hopeless. The increase in workload was more significant in HCP's of UAE, and the majority had chosen a score of 3 out of 5. This severe psychological impact was related to several stressors observed in this study. The lack of participants from Georgia curbed our results, and further investigations should be considered.
