Objective: Anesthesiology is a special branch which requires different practice places, necessity for collaboration with various teams and frequently taking fast and right decisions. In this respect, stress is frequently experienced. It has been reported that unmanaged stress has become a worldwide concern for the anesthesiologists. In this study, we aimed to investigate the reasons for anesthesiology residents’ professional satisfaction and stress during their training period and we have tried to identify the qualifications which a good anesthesiologist should have.Materials and methods: After obtaining the Ethical Committee’s approval, we prepared a survey containing 17 questions. Open ended questions aim to inquire the success and anxiety regarding the work. Finding solutions for problems has been made under “team feeling related questions on the basis of Likert scale. All residents working at Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Department, Istanbul University Faculty of Medicine participated in this survey (13.11.2012).Results: 41 residents participated in our study. Seniority of 28 participants’ (68%) were over 2 years, while 13 of them (32%) were less than 2 years. In terms of professional satisfaction, success in practice (65%), management of difficult cases (12%), working in ICU (10%), were stipulated respectively. The participants generally shared the feeling of being a part of the team (%55). In terms of difficulty faced in the work, continuing working after a night shift has been clearly addressed (43%). Amongst the anxiety reasons, feeling of incapability (17%) and future concerns (17%) and difficult intubation cases (14%) were reported. Amongst the qualifications of an ideal anesthetist, calmness (18%), being practical (16%), adequacy in terms of professional knowledge (15%) were mentioned respectively. Patient safety and education took the first row in terms of professional priorities (35% and 33% respectively).Conclusion: Anesthetists face stress due to working conditions. It is required to identify the reasons in order to manage stress and create solutions. On the other hand, the term of Ideal anesthesiologist seems as an important point for determination of targets during the training period. Likewise, methods of coping with stress and learning the management of stress in the anesthesia practice, should be included during the training period
