Work-life balance among anesthesiologists, emergency medicine physicians, and intensivists in a tertiary care hospital: A cross-sectional study

Anaesthesiologists, emergency medicine physicians, and intensivists work in high-risk areas making them more prone to work under high stress that disrupts work-life balance. Work-life balance impacts patient safety, the quality of care, and the overall efficiency of hospitals. The study will help design tailored strategies to address the specific challenges of these critical specialties. A high-pressure work environment can contribute to burnout, compassion fatigue, and reduced job satisfaction, which can lead to reduced motivation.
