Results: A total of 79 residents were approached out of which 69 consented to participate in the study yielding a response rate of 87.3% (69/79). The total mean domain scores of SAQ were highest for stress recognition domain (63.7 ± 18.1), while the least domain scores were for job satisfaction (60.5 ± 15.9). Amongst, year one and year four residents the mean domain scores were highest for working condition domain (68.8 ± 20.2), (64.1 ± 10.9) respectively.
