- Physicians must continuously respond to the needs of patients and families and expend their own emotional resources to provide care and caring to others. Medical encounters are often stressful and the physician must reach deep within him-or herself to give to those unable to give back or express gratitude. Patient and societal expectations demand certainty from the medical profession, while medical knowledge includes limitations and uncertainties. Physicians everyday are called on to cope and adapt with stresses characteristics of their role. Intense withdrawal of emotional reserves is required, while emotional deposits may be infrequent and few. For some coping capabilities prove insufficient and emotional reserves become depleted. For these burnout becomes reality .

- Rapidly increasing medical knowledge and technology make it difficult to keep up to date and there is an increasing pressure to focus on the disease rather than the patient.Many physicians are now challenged by patients, nurses, administrators and government agencies to explain and defend their job.Physicians are daily confronted with death and are thus focused to deal with the issue of their own mortality and the purpose and meaning of life. Many unfortunately begin to view death and disease as well as life in general as a battle. Some see battle already lost and develop a sense of hopelessness and powerlessness.
- Physicians trying to cope with demands of their practice by working harder and longer may experience severe inefficiency, psychological impairment, and poor patient care.İt is often difficult for physicians to express they are having trouble in coping with stress. This frequently stems from sense of entitlement .Physicians own expectations are often their greatest source of stress. Few spend time in self-reflection or in attending their own needs. Medical training reinforces false beliefs in one’s immunity to difficulties and prevents self-recognition of serious psychological problems.
