About this study
Official title: Relation Between Perceived Workload and Coping Strategies Among Newly Recruited Anesthesia and Critical Care Residents: A Cross-Sectional Study
This survey aims to find the relation, if any, between the perceived work load and the adopted coping strategy among newly recruited anesthesia and critical care residents.
Read the detailed description
This survey assesses the work load perceived by newly recruited anesthesia and critical care residents as evaluated with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) and relate it to the type of coping strategy adopted by them as assessed using the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS).
- Conditions
- Anesthesia Residents, Critical Care Staff
- Being tested
- NASA-TLX to assess the perceived work load

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) Questionnaire
The Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) is a standardized questionnaire assessing three main coping styles: Task-Oriented, Emotion-Oriented, and Avoidance-Oriented coping.
The CISS questionnaire consists of 48 items, with responses rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (Not at all) to 5 (Very much).
Measured: After spending 3 to 6 months in the residency program.
