| Research Abstract |
We conducted a national survey in 2011 and 2013 regarding the mental health of anesthesiologists in Japan. The questionnaires were sent to 2,500 anesthesiologists who were randomly selected from approximately 10,000 members of the Japanese Society of Anesthesiologists. We found that 9.6% of respondents demonstrated moderate to severe symptoms of depression and 6.4% thought about death or suicide more than several times per week. These results were similar to those of previous survey conducted for physicians of all specialties. However, in 2013, the incidence of moderate to severe depressive symptoms decreased to 6.4% and thoughts on death and suicide decreased to 4.4%. We conclude that mental health of Japanese anesthesiologists improved over the past 3 years.
