Research Objective: Physicians often work under high-stress situations and are a high-risk group for over-fatigue. This study, with reference to Karasek’s “load-control model,” explores the work stress situations of physicians and the relevant factors, thereby gaining an insight into the high-risk factors that contribute to physicians’ stress and proposing improvement plans and recommendation measures. Research method: Practitioners in Taichung City were adopted as the research participants. During the relevant medical association activities, convenient sampling was adopted to seek volunteers to fill out the questionnaire. The questionnaire contents include: socio-demographic characteristics, occupational attributes, health status, overly involved with work scale, work satisfaction and work load-control scale. The statistical methods include descriptive statistics, independent sampling t-test, one-way ANOVA, chi-square test and multiple linear and logistics regression analysis. Research Results: 83% of the interviewed physicians were male, with the average age of 42.03 years old; the under 40 years old comprise 54%, 73.0% are married, 18.0% have a master’s/doctorate degree and 66.5% are attending physicians. About one third of the physicians (36.0%) often or always feel stressed at work, nearly 50% (44.0%) are satisfied or highly satisfied with their work, nearly 40% (36.0%) think they are in good health or perfect health, 64.0% are in good physical and mental conditions, 36.0% have slight to moderate emotional disturbance, 2.5% have suicidal tendencies and about one-tenth (10.3%) are under high work stress, with the average score of 65.7 (out of 100) in the overly involved with work scale group. The important factors affecting physicians’ work stress are: psychological and emotional disturbances, self-perceived health and over involvement with work. These three variables can explain 28.1% of the physicians’ work stress variance (P
