ABSTRACT
Today’s health care workers are under increased stress in their daily work lives as a result of changes in contemporary medical care that include dispari ties in access and quality, inequities in remunera tion, and increased work demands with less control over multiple aspects of daily work life. These
changes are compounded by a perceived loss of public trust in a setting increasingly bureaucratized and technologically dominated, with multiple finan cial and legal complexities. Put simply, the massive changes in the past two decades have made a stress ful job even more stressful.
