Stressors and protective factors among regional and metropolitan Australian medical doctors: A mixed methods investigation.

CONCLUSIONS: Stress and burnout among doctors are alarmingly high and both system/organization-level (e.g., communication systems, workload, flexible work arrangements) and individual-level (e.g., fostering resilience/coping strategies) predictors are implicated by our results. These may be useful targets for future interventions.
