This paper examines the personal exercise habits of women physicians and the effect of those habits on how they counsel their patients on exercise.
Using the Women Physicians' Health Study (WPHS), a national questionnaire-based survey (n=4501), we analyzed responses of women physicians regarding personal and clinical exercise-related practices.
Nearly all (96%) women physicians reported exercising. Forty-nine percent exercised enough to meet the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommendations, and these physicians were more likely to be unmarried, to be white, to have light stress at home and work, to have female physicians, to be in good health, and to not feel overweight. Physicians complying with ACSM recommendations also were more likely to counsel patients on exercise, to counsel confidently, and to be trained in counseling. Those having a high priority to exercise more were more likely to counsel on exercise. Fifty-nine percent of female primary care practitioners and 33% of female specialists counseled typical patients at least yearly on exercise.
Women physicians are relatively good exercise role models for their patients. However, many (especially those not regularly exercising themselves) could more frequently counsel their patients regarding exercise.
本文研究女医生的个人锻炼习惯以及这些习惯对她们就锻炼问题向患者提供建议的方式的影响。
利用女医生健康研究（WPHS），这是一项基于全国问卷调查（n = 4501），我们分析了女医生关于个人和临床锻炼相关做法的回答。
几乎所有（96%）女医生报告有锻炼。49%的人锻炼量达到美国运动医学学院（ACSM）的建议，这些医生更有可能未婚、是白人、在家和工作中压力较小、有女医生同事、身体健康且不觉得超重。符合ACSM建议的医生也更有可能就锻炼问题向患者提供建议、自信地提供建议并且接受过相关咨询培训。那些将增加锻炼列为高优先事项的人更有可能就锻炼问题提供建议。59%的女性初级保健从业者和33%的女性专科医生至少每年就锻炼问题向普通患者提供建议。
女医生对患者而言是相对较好的锻炼榜样。然而，许多女医生（尤其是那些自己不经常锻炼的）可以更频繁地就锻炼问题向患者提供建议。
