Description

Stress, health, and well-being are intrinsically connected in a complex interplay that has captured the attention of researchers, healthcare professionals, and individuals seeking to lead healthier lives. The delivery of healthcare services in Primary Health Services relies heavily on the dedication and resilience of healthcare providers, including physicians, nurses, and support staff. These professionals are the backbone of the healthcare system, ensuring that essential medical care is provided to individuals and communities. However, the demanding nature of their work, which often involves long hours, heavy workloads, and complex patient interactions, places them at risk of experiencing high levels of stress. This stress can have significant repercussions, affecting not only the health and well-being of healthcare providers but also the quality of care they provide to patients. The aim of this study is to understand the relationships between stress, health, and well-being among healthcare providers in Primary Health Services. Methodology: Cross-sectional survey was carried out on a sample of 198 health providers at Primary Health Service in Kosovo. Participants were recruited using a convenient sampling technique. The questionnaire included information on demographics, work condition and job satisfaction, also on measuring stress and wellbeing we used Geneal Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). The data were analyzed by using SPSS. Results: On this research participated 198 health providers which were working on Primary Health Service in Kosovo. Their median age was 42 (range 23–62 years); 63% were women. Nurses felt more stressed and experienced more psychological distress compared with other medical specialists. Conclusion: We conclude that the well-being of healthcare providers in Primary Health Services is vital for their personal health. This complex relationship warrants continuous focus, research, and actions aimed at fostering supportive workplaces, reducing stress, and enhancing the overall welfare of these committed professionals. These improvements can ultimately enhance healthcare quality and fortify the healthcare system
