“…Currently, 82% of specialists up to and including age 39 working in the field of gynecology and obstetrics are female [8]. The major reasons for physicians' choice of hospitals today-in addition to the usual criteria such as salary levels, location, and hospital size-are the availability of clearly structured medical specialty training curricula with predetermined goals and agreements, opportunities for promotion and development, and career options that also include part-time employment [9]. This places pressure on employers in the health-care system to respond receptively to the changing demands of the younger generation of doctors.…”

Purpose General conditions in the health-care system in Germany have changed dramatically in recent years. Factors affecting this include above all demographic change, rapid developments in diagnostic and therapeutic options, and the application of economic criteria to the health-care sector. This study aimed to establish the current status quo regarding conditions of work and training for young doctors in gynecology and obstetrics, analyze stress factors, and suggest potential improvements. Methods Between October 2015 and March 2016, a web-based survey was carried out among residents and members of the German Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics. The electronic questionnaire comprised 65 items on seven topics. Part of the survey included the short version of a validated model of professional gratification crises for analyzing psychosocial work-related stress. Results The analysis included a total of 391 complete datasets. Considerable negative findings in relation to psychosocial work pressure, time and organizational factors, quality of specialty training, and compatibility between work and family life and work and academic tasks were detected. A high level of psychosocial work pressure is associated with more frequent job changes, reduced working hours, poorer health among physicians, and a lower subjectively assessed quality of care. Conclusions Greater efforts are needed from all the participants involved in patient care to achieve high-quality training and working conditions that allow physicians to work in a healthy and effective way. These aspects are all prerequisites for sustainably maximizing the resource “physician” and for ensuring high-quality patient care.
