Dr Vinitha V | Dr Ramidha V P | Dr Smrti Salim

Abstract: This study investigates the interrelation between stress levels, well-being, and blood pressure among medical professionals, utilizing the WHO-5 Well-Being Index as a primary evaluative tool. Conducted on a cohort of medical professionals in Malabar Medical College and Research Centre, the research underscores the negative correlation between well-being scores and BP, highlighting the elevated stress levels within this demographic compared to the general population. The study findings reveal the significant impact of workplace stressors on medical professional?s psychological and physical health, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to mitigate the detrimental effects of stress on this vulnerable group. The research not only sheds light on the pressing issue of occupational stress in healthcare but also prompts a broader conversation on the importance of mental health support in high- stress environments.
