Abstract

Anaesthesiologists’ mental health is commonly overlooked and disregarded. Ensuring favourable professional well-being requires awareness, recognition and dedication for cultivating a healthy mindset. This tutorial discusses occupational related stress in anaesthesia, associated risk factors, coping capacities, individual and organisational initiatives to safeguard professional well-being.
