The goal of this article is to assess the need for health maintenance intervention programs directed at physicians and patients. We compared the health maintenance behavior compliance of physicians (as patients) to a control patient population. An online survey was sent to the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) medical school clinical and nonclinical basic science faculties and to the non-TTUHSC clinicians of the local county medical society. The survey included questions regarding basic demographics and recent participation in regular health maintenance strategies including annual checkup, influenza vaccination, colonoscopy, Pap smear, and mammogram. Logistic regressions were conducted to determine if being a physician had a significant association with the likelihood of participating in the health maintenance behavior outcomes listed above. This article shows that physicians are less likely than the general population to adhere to specific health maintenance guidelines: namely, annual checkups, colonoscopies, and mammograms. Pap smear rates did not differ between physicians and a control population, but physicians showed an increased likelihood of receiving an influenza vaccine.
本文的目的是评估针对医生和患者的健康维护干预项目的必要性。我们将医生（作为患者）的健康维护行为依从性与对照患者群体进行了比较。向德克萨斯理工大学健康科学中心（TTUHSC）医学院的临床和非临床基础科学教员以及当地县医学协会的非TTUHSC临床医生发送了一项在线调查。该调查包括有关基本人口统计学以及近期参与常规健康维护策略的问题，这些策略包括年度体检、流感疫苗接种、结肠镜检查、巴氏涂片检查和乳房X光检查。进行逻辑回归分析以确定作为医生是否与参与上述健康维护行为结果的可能性存在显著关联。本文表明，医生比普通人群更不太可能遵守特定的健康维护指南，即年度体检、结肠镜检查和乳房X光检查。医生和对照人群之间的巴氏涂片检查率没有差异，但医生接种流感疫苗的可能性增加。
