Brief Summary

Mental health is a major public health issue in the general population, but few studies seem to focus on the mental health of self-employed healthcare professionals, and GPs in particular. As front-line workers who are often called upon to manage complex situations, they are quite likely to suffer from anxiety-depressive symptoms or burnout. Nevertheless, general practice is vast, and there are many different ways of practising and organising it.

Each item is scored from 1 to 4 and a sum score of all items is computed. Higher score indicates greater anxiety. Presence of anxiety will be defined by a score greater than or equal to 46.
