title: [Job Strain Among Physicians in the Specialty of Psychiatry].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This study aims to examine work related distress in the specialty of psychiatry and psychotherapy.
  
  
  METHODS
  With an online survey based on validated stress theories distress prevalence and job satisfaction was examined.
  
  
  RESULTS
  39.4 % (95 %-CI: 35.4 - 44.3) of all respondents (n = 508) showed signs of distress. At the same time 58.5 % (95 %-CI: 53.7 - 63.4) claimed to be satisfied with their job.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  High job satisfaction paired with high distress prevalence can be a sign of a high intrinsic motivation among physicians in the specialty of psychiatry. To prevent this situation to become harmful to one's health, successful coping strategies have to be put in place.
