| description | Objective:
To assess the prevalence of workplace stress and its correlates amongst medical educators in Pathanamthitta district, Kerala.
Materials and Methods:
A study was conducted amongst medical teachers of both genders, in the age group of 20–70 years, in Pathanamthitta district, Central Kerala, from June 2022 to December 2022.
Results:
About 7.2% and 4.5% of the study participants experienced severe and potentially dangerous levels of stress. Age group, excessive additional duty, lack of research and personal growth opportunities, work–home conflict and lack of self-motivation were some of the risk factors for workplace stress amongst study participants.
Conclusion:
Workplace stress is prevalent amongst medical educators. Many variables that have emerged as risk factors of academic procrastination amongst study participants are modifiable. |
