Abstract

The work environment for anaesthesiologist is characterised by high levels of stress, working under time pressure, delayed or cancelled breaks, frequent overtime, and high risk of emotional exhaustion. The aim of the study was to investigate how anaesthesiologists describe their work environment using a sample of anaesthesiologists and interns in anaesthesia care from a Swedish hospital. A web-based open-ended questionnaire was used to collect data on how anaesthesiologist describe and experience their work environment. A total of 129 free-text answers were collected and analysed. The results confirm previous findings of the strained work environment met by anaesthesiologists and their interns. However, the study also finds that positive relations between colleagues work as an important social and emotional support among the anaesthesiologists and their interns.
