Abstract:
Stress is one of the leading causes of mental and physical health problems in our society. This subject is nothing new to radiology professionals because of the constant exposure to various stressors. These stressors include staffing shortages, physical injuries, hospital violence, and diverse types of fatigue. Stressors are unique and personal to each individual, but they can also be applied to all radiology professionals and can correlate with health deficiencies. This paper examines research available on stress, and what stressors continuously affect the health of working professionals. To eliminate the negative effects of stressors, it is imperative for all health care providers to evaluate the bounds and risks to devise the most appropriate solution.
