Recently the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education placed restrictions on all residency programs that limited work hours to 80 hours per week. The objective of this study was to determine the work hours for practicing obstetrician-gynecologists in an urban center.
A questionnaire about physician demographics and work hours was mailed to all obstetrician-gynecologists in Houston in June 2002. Chi(2) testing was used for statistical analysis.
One hundred eighty-nine surveys were mailed. One hundred surveys (56%) were returned complete and analyzed. Sixty-two physicians reported working >80 hours per week. Physicians were more likely to work >80 hours per week if they were men or if they were >50 years old. Marital status and having children living at home did not affect work hours.
Most obstetrician-gynecologists in Houston work longer hours than the number of hours that is imposed by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education resident work hour guidelines.
最近，毕业后医学教育认证委员会对所有住院医师培训项目实施了限制，将工作时间限制在每周80小时以内。本研究的目的是确定城市中心执业妇产科医生的工作时间。
2002年6月，向休斯敦所有妇产科医生邮寄了一份关于医生人口统计学和工作时间的问卷。采用卡方检验进行统计分析。
共邮寄了189份调查问卷。100份问卷（56%）被完整返回并进行分析。62名医生报告每周工作时间超过80小时。男性医生或年龄超过50岁的医生更有可能每周工作超过80小时。婚姻状况和家中有孩子并不影响工作时间。
休斯敦大多数妇产科医生的工作时间比毕业后医学教育认证委员会规定的住院医师工作时间指导原则所规定的时间更长。
