Abstract
Background: Obstetrics and Gynaecology is a demanding and challenging speciality of medical education. The residents are the first level of contact of all patients.
Aims and Objectives: The aim and objectives of the study were to find what causes stress in the residents of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and their coping techniques.
Material and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study on 45 residents pursuing post-graduation in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at PGIMS, Rohtak.
Results: The cause of stress in residents was long working hours, having less time for friends and family, too much paper work, new subject learnings, expectations to perform well in clinics. The coping techniques were identified like listening to music, watching movies, talking to friends and family. According to the Brief COPE assessment, the coping techniques used were adaptive in residents of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of our institute.
Conclusion: Those working in demanding fields like Obstetrics and Gynaecology face unique challenges and have their own coping techniques. The well-being of medical residents directly impacts their future performance as physicians
