High stress and low morale is a well accepted and studied phenomenon in general practice.
This study aimed to determine the benefits and mechanisms of stress management training in improving the psychological well-being and morale of GPs.
There were 85 GPs in the treatment group and 25 GPs in the control group, all from the Adelaide metropolitan region. The treatment group GPs were surveyed by questionnaire before and after a 15 h cognitive behavioural stress management training programme.
The study found that following this training programme, GPs' quality of work life and morale improved while their work-related distress and general psychological distress decreased. These gains were maintained or further improved at 12 week follow-up. Furthermore, results suggested that the most robust long-term benefits came from developing a problem-focused style to cope with life and work events.
在全科医疗中，高压力和低士气是一个已被广泛认可并研究的现象。
本研究旨在确定压力管理培训在改善全科医生心理健康和士气方面的益处及机制。
治疗组有85名全科医生，对照组有25名全科医生，均来自阿德莱德市区。治疗组的全科医生在接受15小时的认知行为压力管理培训课程前后接受问卷调查。
研究发现，参加该培训课程后，全科医生的工作生活质量和士气有所提高，而与工作相关的困扰和一般心理困扰有所减少。这些收获在12周的随访中得以维持或进一步改善。此外，结果表明，最显著的长期益处来自培养以问题为导向的方式来应对生活和工作事件。
