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.
The primary objective is to describe the prevalence of clinically significant anxiety symptoms in French self-employed GPs. The secondary objective is to investigate the factors associated with the presence of clinically significant anxiety symptoms in French self-employed GPs.
