  Background Lifestyle changes are important for prevention and treatment of many common diseases, and doctors have an important role in the lifestyle counselling of patients. It is important to know more about factors influencing lifestyle counselling. Aim To investigate the frequency of counselling about physical activity compared to that about alcohol habits; the impact of doctors’ own physical activity and alcohol habits on patient counselling about these lifestyle dimensions; and whether perceived mastery of clinical work or vulnerable personality have a confounding or moderating effect on these associations. Design & setting In this nationwide cohort survey, a total of 978 doctors in Norway were surveyed by postal questionnaires in 1993/94 and 2014. The response rate was 562/978 (57%). Method The outcome variables were questions on frequency of asking about alcohol and exercise habits. Explanatory variables were questions on doctors’ own exercise habits, drinking habits (using Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test [AUDIT]), perceived mastery of clinical work, vulnerable personality, and specialty. Associations were studied by linear regression analysis. Results Of the 526 responders, 307 (58%) reported asking usually/often about exercise habits, while n = 140/524 (27%) usually/often asked about alcohol habits. A doctor's own physical activity level was associated with frequency of asking about physical activity (unstandardised regression coefficient [B] = 0.07; 95% confidence intervals [CI] = 0.01 to 0.13). There were no significant associations between doctors' own lifestyle habits and counselling on alcohol habits. Doctors with low levels of vulnerability asked more frequently about physical activity, regardless of their own physical activity habits (F = 2.41, P = 0.048). Conclusion Doctors’ own lifestyles influenced their preventive counselling about physical activity, but not about alcohol. Vulnerability moderated these effects, indicating the importance of early interventions to help doctors with a vulnerable personality to handle negative criticism from patients

  Background A higher sense of mastery of doctors’ clinical work could benefit not only their own mental health but also their work performance and patient care. However, we know little about factors associated with perceived mastery of clinical work among physicians. Our aim was therefore to study characteristics of those with stable low levels and of those with increased levels of mastery over a period of ten years of medical practice. Methods N = 631 doctors were surveyed in their final year of medical school in 1993/94 (T1) and 10 (T2), 15 (T3) and 20 (T4) years later. Low and increased perceived mastery of clinical work were measured between T2, T3 and T4. Response rates for all items measuring low and increased mastery were 238/522 (46%) and 256/522 (49%) respectively. The following explanatory variables were included: demographics, medical school factors, personality and contextual work-related and non-work-related factors. Results N = 73 (31%) of the doctors reported stable low mastery from T2 to T4. The following variables were significantly associated with low mastery in the adjusted analyses: vulnerability (OR: 1.30, P < .000, CI: 1.12 to 1.50), drinking alcohol to cope with stress during medical school (OR: 2.66, P = .04, CI: 1.03 to 6.85) and social support (OR: 0.78, P = .002, CI: 0.66 to 0.91). N = 39 (15%) reported increased mastery during the ten-year period from T2 to T4. Perceived job demands (OR: 0.66, P = .02, CI: 0.45 to 0.98) and taking up a leading position (OR: 3.04, P = .01, CI: 1.31 to 7.07) were associated with increased mastery after adjustment. Conclusions Stable low sense of mastery over time is associated with having a vulnerable personality, a history of having used alcohol to cope with stress during medical school and lack of contemporary social support. Conversely, increased sense of mastery is associated with taking up a leading position and having the perception that job demands are decreasing over time. These findings indicate that perceived mastery of clinical work may not be a trait, but a state modifiable over time

  BAKGRUNN Legene i dagens samfunn møter mange kryssende interesser fra blant andre kolleger, pasienter og arbeidsgivere. Det er forsket mye på utvikling og regulering av den medisinske profesjonen. Imidlertid er det forsket mindre på legers egne opplevelser av hva det innebærer å være en god lege. MATERIALE OG METODE Vi gjennomførte åtte fokusgruppeintervjuer og tre individuelle intervjuer blant overleger og leger i spesialisering som jobbet innenfor kirurgi, psykiatri og indremedisin, ved to ulike sykehus. Totalt N = 48, 56 % kvinner. Intervjuene ble analysert med systematisk tekstkondensering. RESULTATER «Faglig dedikasjon» vist ved «høy grad av tilstedeværelse på jobb» og «stor arbeidskapasitet» var sentrale temaer for gode leger. Stor arbeidskapasitet ble definert som viljen til å strekke seg langt, jobbe overtid og jobbe effektivt. Overlegene opplevde det å være lege mer som en «livsstil», mens leger i spesialisering i større grad så på det som en «jobb». FORTOLKNING Norske sykehusleger ønsker å fremstå som faglig dedikerte. Dette kan de vise gjennom en sterk vilje til å jobbe hardt og effektivt med pasientarbeid og samtidig strekke seg langt for å være til stede utover regulær arbeidstid.

  BAKGRUNN Norske sykehusleger fremholder verdien av å jobbe hardt og effektivt og ha stor grad av tilstedeværelse på jobb. Dette bidrar til å skape sosiale normer som virker styrende for atferd innen profesjonskulturen. Det er viktig å undersøke hvilke konsekvenser disse verdiene kan få, når legen også skal ivareta egne behov. MATERIALE OG METODE Vi gjennomførte åtte fokusgruppeintervjuer og tre individuelle intervjuer blant til sammen 48 overleger og leger under spesialisering, som jobbet innen kirurgi, psykiatri og indremedisin ved to ulike sykehus. Totalt N = 48, 56 % kvinner. Intervjuene ble analysert med systematisk tekstkondensering. RESULTATER Når norske sykehusleger ønsker å fremstå som gode leger, opplever de at det får konsekvenser for samspillet med legekollegiet, ledelsen og balansen mellom hjem og jobb. Interessekonflikter fremkom mellom overleger og leger i spesialisering. Ledelsesinitiativ for å håndtere fravær, livsfasetilpasning av legejobben og økt lederengasjement blant leger var tiltak som ble foreslått. FORTOLKNING Bedre gjensidig kunnskap mellom leger og ledelse om hverandres verdier og ansvarsområder vil være viktige premisser for å kunne gjøre strukturelle endringer, for eksempel bedre planlegging av fravær og mulighet for livsfasetilpasning i arbeidsplaner.
