To understand the challenges faced by psychiatrists and psychiatry trainees in accessing healthcare.
An online survey was distributed to all members (fellows, associates and affiliates) of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) and a number of focus groups were held across Australia and New Zealand.
A total of 1051 members responded to the survey and nine focus groups were held. Almost all respondents indicated they had a personal general practitioner. However, there were varying factors affecting access to healthcare and the ability to take leave when unwell.
There are numerous barriers facing RANZCP members in looking after their own health. Addressing these barriers will require action at multiple points in the system.
了解精神科医生及精神科实习医生在获取医疗保健方面所面临的挑战。
向澳大利亚和新西兰皇家精神科医学院（RANZCP）的所有成员（研究员、准会员和附属会员）开展了一项在线调查，并在澳大利亚和新西兰各地举行了若干焦点小组讨论。
共有1051名成员回复了调查，举行了9次焦点小组讨论。几乎所有受访者都表示他们有一名私人全科医生。然而，在获取医疗保健以及身体不适时请假的能力方面存在多种影响因素。
RANZCP成员在照顾自身健康方面面临众多障碍。解决这些障碍需要在系统中的多个环节采取行动。
