Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Medical students and young healthcare professionals face anxiety and stress in various aspects such as academic performance, human relationships, and future career paths, and this mental burden can lead to repeating a year, taking a leave of absence, or dropping out, with severe cases even reporting suicide. Additionally, practicing doctors and nurses are exposed to harsh working environments and interpersonal troubles.
According to reports in the United States, about 50% of physicians experience burnout, with main symptoms including "emotional exhaustion," "cynicism," and "loss of accomplishment". In a 2014 stress survey conducted at the Nirinso Center, 31% of doctors and 41% of nurses reported feeling stress related to "human relationships," most of which involved relationships with superiors. Such stress is a factor that increases the risk of power harassment, workforce turnover, and even mental illnesses or suicide in medical settings, necessitating urgent action.
In recent years, "coaching," which has gained attention in corporate management and education, is a supportive technique that elicits the inherent resources of the individual and encourages voluntary action through questioning and listening. This study aims to introduce this coaching approach into medical settings and empirically examine its effects on reducing workplace stress and promoting behavioral changes.
