Stress, work and professional satisfaction and militancy among Canadian physicians
研究加拿大国家医疗体系下医生与政府冲突加剧的背景,基于2087名医生的问卷调查,分析个人特征、执业情况、工作压力及满意度对医生抗争行为的影响。
Abstract The introduction of a national health care system in Canada has resulted in regular and increasing conflict between the medical profession, government and other political actors. The present study utilizes a stressor–strain framework to understand physician militancy in Canada. Data were collected from 2087 men and women physicians using questionnaires completed anonymously. Four groups of predictor variables identified in previous research were considered: individual demographic characteristics, practice characteristics, work stressors, and work and professional satisfactions. Empirical support for the model was found. Each panel of predictor variables had significant and unique relationships with measures of physician militancy.
