The stress of registrarship
Abstract
A survey of 39 paediatric registrars was undertaken to detennine the major stresses of training and their suggested solutions. The overwhelming majority (96%) considered registrarship to be stressful, with the major hardships being workload-related. Talking to someone was the most frequently used coping strategy. Reduced work schedules were regarded as the intervention that would best help alleviate stress. The findings may assist in the prioritisation of interventions to diminish the stress of registrarship.
