Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To assess the prevalence and severity of symptoms related to depression, anxiety, and stress, among population of resident doctors in Upper Egypt in Assiut University Hospitals and other hospitals in upper Egypt

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Many resident doctors during their training experience different levels of stress and this continuous pressure can cause feelings of discouragement and dissatisfaction, which might lead to the desire of leaving a training program.

This pressure could be accompanied by anxiety and depression and have negative effects on clinical performance and even increase the risk of burnout. Adjusting to these hectic job burdens affects individual emotional and intellectual contingency, and the capacity to create a healthy home-work balance. Burnout in residents can have serious effects not only on personal well-being, interpersonal relationships as well as on career but also may have negative effects on patient care .

The prevalence and impact of mental health issues among resident doctors have garnered increasing attention in recent years. Studies suggest that residency training can exacerbate existing vulnerabilities and contribute to the development of mental health disorders. The implications of these conditions are profound, affecting not only the personal well-being of the doctors but also their professional performance, patient care quality, and overall healthcare system efficiency.
