摘要：

ObjectiveDespite the increased risk of experiencing mental health concerns, particularly related to stress and burnout, psychological help-seeking among medical doctors is typically low. This study examined the barriers to treatment experienced by doctors for stress and burnout-related difficulties. MethodsA mixed-methods design was adopted. The quantitative sample comprised 274 Australian-based medical doctors. Qualitative interviews were conducted with a subsample of 20 (11 regional and 9 metropolitans) doctors. For triangulation, five stakeholder interviews were also conducted with representatives of the profession. ResultsTime was the greatest barrier to treatment. Qualitatively, doctors identified barriers such as stigma and fear of professional consequences, and particularly among regional doctors, access to services and professional culture. ConclusionsThere is a need for tailored strategies to address barriers to psychological treatment among doctorsforimprovingservice access and mental health.
