The practical part used a mixed-method design combining quantitative and qualitative research methods. The quantitative research was conducted through a questionnaire survey among 55 non-physician healthcare workers working in hospitals across the Czech republic, using the standardized PSS scale and selected items inspired by the OFER scale. The qualitative part consisted of semi-structured interviews with five female physicians from various medical specializations. The collected data was analyzed using statistical methods and thematic analysis. The results indicate a significant relationship between workload, stress, fatigue, and the quality of healthcare that is provided. Based on the findings, recommendations are proposed for employers, healthcare workers and patients aimed at improving working conditions, preventing overload, and supporting mental health in the healthcare sector.
