Abstract: Burnout is a growing issue among radiologists, marked by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. This qualitative study examines the factors behind burnout in radiologists at a tertiary hospital and looks into coping strategies they use to handle work-related stress. Semi-structured interviews with 15 radiologists provided the data, which was analyzed through thematic analysis. The findings showed that workload, administrative duties, and professional isolation are major contributors to burnout. Coping mechanisms included physical activities, self-care, and peer support. This study highlights the need for targeted organizational actions to reduce burnout and support radiologist well-being.
