4. Anesthesiologists
We decided to include anesthesiologists in our rankings of the most stressful jobs in India based on the findings of this study. Burnout, lack of sleep and late working hours are main reasons for stress among anesthesiologists in India. It may lead to exhaustion related errors. Here is an excerpt from the study:
“Studies related to stress in Indian anaesthesiologists are very limited, which prompted us to design this study not only to identify the stressors but also to find out how anaesthesiologists react to stress and devise means to minimize it….Identified stressors were as follows: time constraints (34%), medicolegal concerns (24%), interference with home life (22%), clinical problems (20%), and communication problems (9%).”
