This study aims to identify the importance of recreational sports in reducing the psychological pressures faced by doctors in government hospitals. Therefore, we used the descriptive approach by making a survey and comparing sports practitioners with non-practitioners. The sample consists of 60 doctors who were selected randomly. To collect data, we used the psychological stress measure which covers three of three sections and a form. After collecting the results and processing them statistically, we reached the following: - Recreational sport has an effective role in reducing psychological stress among government hospital doctors. - Most doctors working in hospitals practice recreational sports. - There are statistically significant differences in the level of self-induced stress between the doctors who practice recreational sports and the ones who do not. The former are less stressed. - There are statistically significant differences in the level of occupational stress between the doctors who practice recreational sports and the ones who do not. The former are less stressed. - There are statistically significant differences in the level of relational stress between the doctors who practice recreational sports and the ones who do not. The former are less stressed. - The doctors who practice recreational sports - Working conditions hinder doctors from practicing recreational sports. At the end of the study, we discussed some suggestions and recommendations that could be useful in the future, the most important of which is implementing sports programs accredited in the hospital setting according to a weekly timetable.
