Despite the pandemic, the Government of Bangladesh decided to keep the banks open to a limited extent to keep the country’s economy afloat. The aim of this study is to assess the psychological impact of COVID-19 among the bankers who are usually more exposed to random people that put them at great risk to be affected. A total of 248 bankers willingly answered our questionnaire consisting of DASS-21 and relevant questions. Cronbach’s reliability coefficient for the DASS-21 scale ranges from 0.84 to 0.90 which advocates that DASS-21 scales are highly reliable measures for this study. Results show that among participants, 11.1% were severe to extremely stressed, 10.6% of bankers were severe to extremely anxious, and 12.1% of them were severe to extremely depressed. The study illustrated, among the Bankers whose colleagues were infected (B=2.251, 95% CI: − 1.473, 3.029), who smoking more (B= 1.505, 95% CI: 0.411, 2.599), who wake up from sleep having a bad dreams (B = 1.018, 95% CI: 0.057, 1.979), their fear of getting infected (B = 1.717, 95% CI: 0.392, 3.04), who use public transportation (B = 1.378, 95% CI: 0.430, 2.236), who misbehave with family members (B = 1.033, 95% CI: 0.071, 1.995) and who beaten children (B = 1.210, 95% CI: 0.141, 2.279) were responsible for higher stress, depression and anxiety scores respectively. Whereas, taking nutritious food (B = −0.229, 95% CI: −0.30, 1.763), doing physical exercises (B = −0.325, 95% CI: −1.158, 0.508) reduced depression, stress and anxiety scores. The authors believed that the result of the study will be beneficial for the government and its policymakers to take psychological intervention strategies and to make certain sufficient corporal settlement of the banking professionals.

尽管发生了大流行，孟加拉国政府仍决定在有限的范围内保持银行的开放，以保持该国的经济运转。这项研究的目的是评估 COVID-19 对银行家的心理影响，这些银行家通常更容易接触随机人群，这些人使他们面临很大的受影响风险。共有 248 位银行家自愿回答了我们由 DASS-21 和相关问题组成的问卷。DASS-21 量表的 Cronbach 信度系数范围从 0.84 到 0.90，这表明 DASS-21 量表是本研究的高度可靠测量。结果显示，在参与者中，11.1%的人有严重到极度压力，10.6%的银行家是严重到极度焦虑，12.1%的人是严重到极度抑郁。该研究表明，在同事被感染的银行家中（B = 2.251, 95% CI: − 1.473, 3.029)，吸烟较多的人( B = 1.505, 95% CI: 0.411, 2.599)，从睡梦中醒来做恶梦的人( B  = 1.018, 95% CI: 0.057 , 1.979), 害怕被感染 ( B  = 1.717, 95% CI: 0.392, 3.04), 使用公共交通工具 ( B  = 1.378, 95% CI: 0.430, 2.236), 与家人行为不端 ( B  = 1.033 ) , 95% CI: 0.071, 1.995) 和殴打儿童 ( B  = 1.210, 95% CI: 0.141, 2.279) 分别导致更高的压力、抑郁和焦虑评分。而吃有营养的食物（B  = -0.229, 95% CI: -0.30, 1.763），做体育锻炼（B = -0.325, 95% CI: -1.158, 0.508) 降低抑郁、压力和焦虑评分。作者认为，研究结果将有利于政府及其政策制定者采取心理干预策略，对银行业从业人员进行一定的充分体裁。
