Impact of high-intensity work on the physical and mental health of anesthesiologists and intervention strategies.

With the ongoing transformation of the healthcare landscape, anesthesiologists are experiencing increasing occupational stress, which profoundly affects their physical and mental health. A high-intensity work environment adversely affects the physiological health of anesthesiologists, leading to issues such as cardiovascular diseases and sleep disorders. Furthermore, it also leads to an increased risk of mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, and burnout. This article aims to review the current state of research in this field and analyze the characteristics of anesthesiologists' work environments and the sources of stress they bring. It also explores the specific mechanisms by which high-intensity work negatively impacts physical and mental health, while considering the moderating effects of individual and work environment factors. Based on existing research, this article proposes targeted intervention strategies to improve anesthesiologists' physical and mental health. Finally, the limitations of the current research are summarized. Future research directions are proposed to provide references for further exploration in related fields.
