Аннотация
The transition from medical training to independent clinical practice represents a critical period for newly graduated physicians, often accompanied by substantial psycho-emotional strain, heightened responsibility, and challenges related to professional adjustment. This study explores the key factors contributing to existential distress among early-career doctors and examines how such experiences influence their professional functioning. The findings indicate that difficulties in adaptation, emotional exhaustion, and loss of professional meaning play a significant role in the development of existential challenges. Based on the obtained results, a set of practical and psychological approaches aimed at supporting young physicians and mitigating existential distress during the early stages of their careers is discussed.
