Job Stress and Challenges in the Work Life of Medical Practitioners in North Kerala

Author(s) Dr. CHI NANJAPPA, Ms. Aiswarya Jayan
Country India
Abstract The medical profession is universally acknowledged as one of the most stressful occupations due to its demanding work environment, emotional labor, and high level of responsibility for human life. In recent years, medical practitioners in India have been experiencing escalating levels of job stress arising from excessive workload, extended working hours, administrative obligations, and challenges in balancing professional and personal life. This study aims to examine the extent of job stress and the major work-life challenges faced by medical practitioners in North Kerala and to identify the key factors influencing job stress using multiple regression analysis. A structured questionnaire was administered to 300 medical practitioners working in government and private healthcare institutions across North Kerala. The study employed descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis to assess the relationship between workload, work–family conflict, administrative burden, years of experience, and job stress. The regression results reveal that workload, work–family conflict, and administrative burden significantly and positively influence job stress, while years of experience has a significant negative effect. The findings highlight the need for organizational and policy-level interventions to mitigate stress and enhance the well-being and effectiveness of medical practitioners.
