Assess physician and student burnout and job satisfaction among KPK physicians. Analyse the differences in workplace barriers according to designation and gender. Identify the systemic factors affecting career opportunities and mental wellbeing.
Method: 218 participants in a cross-sectional research study conducted at kpk from January to May 2025. Employed validated surveys on job satisfaction, burnout, and worries. Furthermore, this Data was analysed using ANOVA (SPSS v26) and t-tests with a significance level of p<0.05.
Result: Males were more inclined to remain in Pakistan (p=0.027), whereas females felt less workplace security (p=0.002).
Burnout (1.47±0.50) and anxiety about unemployment were highest among medical students (p=0.009). Salary discontent did not differ by gender (p=0.566).
Conclusion: At KPK, hierarchy and gender greatly influence job satisfaction. Workplace safety precautions and mental health support are urgently needed. The results are consistent with issues related to physician well-being in resource-constrained environments worldwide.
