STRESS AND WORK LIFE BALANCE AMONG MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS: AN ANALYSIS OF EFFECT OF EMOTIONAL & PERSONALITY TRAITS AMONG INDIAN DOCTORS

Abstract

Doctors have to be good listeners, figure out the symptoms based on what they know from the medical field, and decide how to diagnose the disease and what the expected results are, decide on the treatment, and keep track of the patient's progress in recovery. Young medical professionals are learning through experience and becoming more professional and knowledgeable. The participants in this study consist of medical practitioners with fewer than 15 years of experience post-graduation. It also includes medical students who are in their PG years. There are a lot of stories in the news about how hard it is for young doctors to work in hospitals, especially when it comes to their safety. One thing that sets medical professionals apart from other fields is their ability to balance their patients' negative mental states with their higher levels of mindfulness Sthe disease can be cured. The senior doctors are mature, have a lot of experience, and know how to handle patients' minds well. This paper examines the experiences of physicians in confidently addressing challenges. The results indicate that as experience grows, doctors select their preferred career path based on their capacity to endure occupational stress. Another fact is that people who work in medicine do it more for the money than for the chance to explore and face medical challenges.
