But studies show thatthe level of stress experienced by surgeons is higher than the patient.A recent study reported in Archives of Surgery This involved 66 Japanese surgeon whowas practicing in Kitakyushu, a city southwest section of Japan.
The surgeons were asked to fill out questionnaires that have been developed by NASAto measure the mental state of each other is called the Stress Arousal Checklist that willmeasure stress directly, while urine tests performed to find compounds that becomebiopryn biomarker of oxidative stress.
In this survey found that stress levels are higher surgeon obtained from the patient,especially if surgery is performed more than 3 hours or if the surgery is done to makepatients lose a lot of blood, as quoted from Latimes, Saturday (04/09/2011).
Scores obtained related to the duration of the operation and the amount of blood lostduring the procedure. Biopryn got level in the blood significantly increased whenoperating over 3 hours and the patient's blood loss at least 200 grams of blood.
In this study also identified some things that can trigger stress but not a big problem forpeople who are used to hold the scalpel, as do many operations in one day, acting asthe primary surgeon as well as conventional surgery.
Another study, published in the journal Archives of Surgery in January 2011 issuereveals the fact that quite surprising. From 7905 surgeons in the United States whowere surveyed, 6.3 percent of them were willing to commit suicide in the past year due to depression.
