“…We have also examined more closely what can predict stress among junior house officers: as anticipated, both inadequate support from colleagues and sleep deprivation play a role as well as perceived medical recording skills 52) . Nonetheless, such job stress is primarily connected to particular personality traits and personality types 52,53) . A link has also been shown between interpersonal problems and occupational stress among Norwegian physicians 54) .…”

This paper provides an overview of recent Norwegian and international research into physicians' health problems and their use of health services, with a particular focus on more recent studies relating to The Norwegian Physicians' Survey. The review suggests that physicians' physical health is similar to the general population, although female physicians tend to be in better health than other women. Some mental disorders such as depression and suicide appear to be more prevalent. Mental health problems are known to be associated with low work control (autonomy), time pressure and demanding patients. There is little difference between the genders early in their career, but more female than male physicians seem to experience problems later on. Physicians seldom take sick leave, and tend to make less use of primary health care and some screening facilities. Self-treatment is common -even for mental problems. American impaired physician programmes have demonstrated high recovery rates (70-80%), and increasing emphasis is now being placed on psychiatric diagnoses. As certain mental disorders appear to be common among physicians, specialist psychiatric services should be made more accessible for this group. A low-threshold facility for seeking help with such problems has recently been developed in Norway (the Villa Sana Resource Centre).

“…The negative relationship between conscientiousness and risk-10 taking behaviors could be explained by several relevant features of low conscientious people 11 such as carelessness, lack of self-control, impulsivity and a lack of respect for authority and 12 social order (Clarke & Robertson, 2005). 13 Although it is reasonably established that conscientiousness is negatively related to 14 risk-taking (Clarke & Robertson, 2005;Vollrath & Torgersen, 2002) little is known about 15 how the personality factors of extraversion and neuroticism might moderate this association 16 (Røvik et al, 2007). The examination of such interactions is at the heart of the typological 17 approach, which Vollrath and Torgersen (2002) used to examine personality differences in 18 relation to high-risk health behaviors (tobacco, alcohol, drug consumption; high-risk sexual 19 behaviors).…”
