This present study is designed to examine the correlation between Existential Anxiety
and Spiritual Well-being on demographic variables like gender and residential area in
COVID-19 post-pandemic survivors. The effects of COVID-19 had a major impact on
people’s mind which caused health related anxiety or inferiority, which further intervened
as a major stressor to spiritual health. People started coping in several ways to deal with
the fear of death of oneself or their loved ones, loneliness, and fear of aging. A purposive
