[Correlation of mental fatigue due to work load and professional qualifications of physicians].
The results presented in the paper refer to the relationship between physicians' professional qualifications and mental fatigue. It was that professional qualifications determining man's capabilities affect the level and structure of mental fatigue caused by work. Furthermore, it was assumed that this workload is multidimensional, and so its following five dimensions were singled out: mental difficulties, monotony, risk and responsibility, moral conflicts and dilemmas. The level of qualifications was measured by the length of employment and specialization and scientific degrees. The studies involved 10% of randomly selected physicians from all over Poland. The obtained results indicate that with increasing length of employment the workload due to moral dilemmas, risk and responsibility and mental difficulties, gets reduced; on the other hand, the load resulting from work monotony is increased. Also the specialization degree affects the workload caused by the risk, responsibility and moral dilemmas. Noticeable here is the trend towards a reduction in the workload with increasing specialization degrees. Instead, the higher the scientific degree the higher the sense of load due to risk and responsibility with simultaneous decrease in the load due to work monotony.
