Abstract
The present study aimed to examine perceived stress and psychological well-being among health care professionals. The sample included 60 participants (30 male and 30 female). The data was collected from Bolan Medical College and Civil Hospital Quetta. Participants’ age ranged from 23 to 50 years. Two different scales were used to collect the data. The first was perceived stress scale by © Cohen et al., 1983, and the second was psychological well-being scale by Ryff © (1989). Reliability and validity were measured on both the scales. Findings of the study suggested the psychological well-being is dependent on perceived stress that is significant at 5% level of significance. It is noted that psychological wellbeing was positively affected by perceived stress. The value of correlation coefficient is 0.437 shows positive relationship. So, our hypothesis is rejected and we conclude that Perceived stress and psychological well-being are not adversely (negatively) correlated. The average of male doctors is 20.27 and average of female doctors is 21.43 that show greater level of stress in male health care professionals, therefore, the female perceives more stress as compared to male.
