AB  - PURPOSE: To assess mental well-being (MW), self-efficacy (SE), and their 
      predictors among healthcare workers (HCWs) in Saudi Arabia during the COVID-19 
      pandemic. METHODS: Analytical cross-sectional study recruited 1046 HCWs by 
      cluster random sampling technique. Socio-demographic, health, and occupational 
      characteristics were collected for all participants. The WHO five Well-Being 
      Index (WHO-5) and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) were used to assess MW and 
      SE of the participants, respectively. The binary logistic regression model was 
      fit to the dependent (outcomes), namely mental well-being and self-efficacy, and 
      independent other variables (predictors). RESULTS: Out of all participants 
      (n=1046), 27.2% had negative MW scores, and 36.6% had low SE scores. The mean 
      scores of both MW and SE were in the normal levels (16.7+/-5.90 and 31.5+/-6.63 out 
      of 25 and 40, respectively). Younger and older ages, irregular exercise, nursing 
      professions, history of anxiety and/or depression, lesser years of experience, 
      and longer daily working hours were found to be the main predictors of negative 
      MW and low SE, among study participants. CONCLUSION: Mental well-being (MW) and 
      self-efficacy (SE) of the HCWs in Saudi Arabia are satisfactory but attention 
      should be paid towards supporting the vulnerable groups for promoting the 
      resilience of HCWs during the battle against the current pandemic.
