Seven women GPs’ perceptions of their stresses and the impact of these on their private and professional lives

Abstract

Explores the stresses of seven women GPs and the impact of these on their work and home life. It is a qualitative study which uses a free flowing interview approach. The aim is to reflect the perceptions of these women GPs rather than the assumptions of the researcher. It is an in‐depth investigation which gives some insights into the lives of these women doctors working as general practitioners. It adds to the knowledge and understanding of the stresses of GPs in general and women GPs in particular.
