In today’s society, doctors are confronted with a number of opposing interests, from other colleagues, patients and employers. The development and regulation of the medical profession have been widely studied. However, less research has been devoted to the doctors’ own perception of what it means to be a good doctor.
We conducted eight focus-group interviews and three individual interviews among senior consultants and specialty registrars in the areas of surgery, psychiatry and internal medicine in two different hospitals. Total N = 48, of which 56 % were women. The interviews were analysed with the aid of systematic text condensation.
«Professional dedication» demonstrated through «a high degree of attendance in the workplace» and «a high work capacity» were key topics for good doctors. Having a «high work capacity» was defined as being willing to go to great lengths, work overtime and work effectively. The senior consultants perceived their job as doctors more as a «lifestyle», while the specialty registrars more frequently regarded their work as a «job».
Norwegian hospital doctors wish to appear dedicated to their profession. They can demonstrate this by showing great willingness to work intensively and effectively with patients, while also going to great lengths to be available beyond normal working hours.
在当今社会，医生面临着来自其他同事、患者和雇主等诸多相互冲突的利益。医学职业的发展与规范已得到广泛研究。然而，对于医生自身对成为一名好医生意味着什么的认知，相关研究较少。
我们在两家不同医院的外科、精神病学和内科领域的高级顾问和专科住院医生中进行了八次焦点小组访谈和三次个人访谈。总共有48人参与，其中56%为女性。访谈借助系统的文本浓缩进行分析。
通过“在工作场所的高出勤率”和“高工作能力”体现出的“职业奉献精神”是好医生的关键主题。“高工作能力”被定义为愿意竭尽全力、加班工作并高效工作。高级顾问更多地将他们作为医生的工作视为一种“生活方式”，而专科住院医生则更频繁地将他们的工作视为一份“职业”。
挪威医院医生希望展现出对其职业的奉献精神。他们可以通过表现出极大的意愿，与患者紧密且高效地合作，同时竭尽全力在正常工作时间之外也能随时提供服务来证明这一点。
