TYPES OF PROFESSIONAL STRESS AMONG MEDICAL WORKERS AND TEACHERS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

Abstract

Professional stress is one of the most common psychological problems in modern professional environments. Professions that involve high responsibility and constant interaction with people are particularly vulnerable to stress. Medical workers and teachers are among those professions that experience significant levels of professional stress due to the demanding nature of their work. This article examines the main types of professional stress among medical workers and teachers and provides a comparative analysis of stress factors in these two professions. The study focuses on emotional stress, informational stress, communicative stress, and professional burnout. The findings indicate that although both professions experience stress due to high responsibility and workload, the sources and manifestations of stress differ depending on the nature of professional tasks. The study emphasizes the importance of psychological support and stress management strategies for improving professional well-being.
