An online survey and focus groups were conducted, providing qualitative information on the work-life balance of psychiatrists and trainees in Australasia.
An invitation to participate in an anonymous online welfare survey was emailed to all the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists trainees, Fellows, and Affiliates. Following this, nine focus groups were held across Australia and New Zealand.
Responses received were thematically analysed. The emergent patterns are presented in this report.
Our research suggests that work-life balance can be subjectively and objectively measured. There are phases of good and bad work-life balance, depending on stage of career and other commitments. Work-life balance may be an indicator of the health of individuals and organisations. Due to its complexity, with intrinsic and extrinsic factors involved, solutions are unlikely to be simple. Further studies are needed to substantiate our findings.
开展了一项在线调查和焦点小组讨论，以获取有关澳大拉西亚地区精神科医生和实习医生工作与生活平衡的定性信息。
向澳大利亚和新西兰皇家精神科医学院的所有实习医生、研究员和附属成员发送了一封邀请其参与匿名在线福利调查的电子邮件。在此之后，在澳大利亚和新西兰各地举行了9个焦点小组讨论。
对收到的回复进行了主题分析。本报告呈现了新出现的模式。
我们的研究表明，工作与生活平衡可以通过主观和客观的方式进行衡量。根据职业阶段和其他事务，工作与生活平衡存在好与坏的阶段。工作与生活平衡可能是个人和组织健康状况的一个指标。由于其复杂性，涉及内在和外在因素，解决方案不太可能简单。需要进一步研究来证实我们的发现。
