Occupational Stress among Healthcare Employees

Abstract

Healthcare comprises hospitals, medical devices, clinical trials, outsourcing, telemedicine, medical tourism, health insurance, and medical equipment. The Indian healthcare sector is growing briskly due to its strengthening coverage, services, and increasing expenditure by public and private players. India’s healthcare delivery system is categorized into two major components - public and private. The country’s healthcare sector has grown rapidly over the last 5 years, in particular, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately 22% since 2016. Healthcare has become one of the largest sectors of the Indian economy, in terms of both revenue and employment.  In healthcare most services by nature are perishable and have to be utilised instantly, means that the employee has to be physically present to serve at the time the service is required (Kirti Shivakumar & Veena Pujar 2017) For employee work in the Hospital is more difficult to balance their profession and personal life.
