Abstract

The study was aimed to investigate the impact of work stress on mental health of casualty officers at District Swat. The study was significant in this way that present government at Tehsil, district, division or even at provincial level may schedule the working hours of the medical officers to work at casualty departments and also can provide the necessary facilities to get rid off from over burden and mental stress. The study was also beneficial in this regard that, the future researchers can also investigate the hurdles faced by the medical officers during their duties into the hospitals.

All medical officers working in government hospitals of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were constituted the population of the study. The scope of the study was delimited to the district Swat. Four government hospitals of district Swat were used to take sample of the study. Thus twenty medical officers working in casualty department were taken randomly from these four hospitals as sample of the study. A questionnaire was prepared for medical officers, which was used as research instrument to collect data for the study. After collecting data through questionnaire from medical officers, data was presented in tabular form and then data was analyzed and manipulated by using appropriate statistical tools. Different problems were highlighted after analyzing the data and then suitable suggestions were made to remove mental stress of the medical officers working in casualty departments.

Introduction

Education assists harmonious development of the individual. It increases the economic, social and political adjustment of the individual in the society. Education is an essential prerequisite for an efficient and equitable development process. It is a recognized fact that without a minimum education level for the entire population, a human centered development process cannot be sustained (Shami, 2005).
