Occupational stress might impair the work ability of physicians, leading to medical errors and illness.
To describe the sociodemographic and occupational profile of physicians, calculate the work ability index (WAI) and correlate it to sociodemographic factors, occupational characteristics and lifestyle.
Cross-sectional study conducted with a random sample of 408 physicians from Maringa, Parana, Brazil, stratified per sex. We administered a self-report questionnaire with the following four sections: sociodemographic profile, occupational characteristics, lifestyle, and work ability.
Most participants were male (61.27%), young (20 to 40 years old-57.35%) and married (61.76%). While participants had usually completed a medical residency program (50.74%) most had worked less than 10 years in the profession (47.06%). About 44.61% of the sample worked 50 to 120 hours / week, 41.18% had formal employment relationship registered in their work card, and 53.43% slept less than six hours/day. The mean WAI was 44, which characterizes excellent work ability. Reduced WAI was associated with older age, longer length in the profession, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, and poorer mental resources to cope with the job demands. Only 1.72% of the participants stated that, based on their current state of health, continuing in the job in two years' time would be unlikely.
Their excellent work ability notwithstanding, the occupational characteristics and lifestyle of physicians call for interventions to prevent impairments of their professionals performance.
职业压力可能会损害医生的工作能力，导致医疗差错和疾病。
描述医生的社会人口统计学和职业概况，计算工作能力指数（WAI），并将其与社会人口统计学因素、职业特征和生活方式相关联。
对来自巴西巴拉那州马林加市的408名医生进行随机抽样的横断面研究，按性别分层。我们发放了一份自我报告问卷，包括以下四个部分：社会人口统计学概况、职业特征、生活方式和工作能力。
大多数参与者为男性（61.27%），年龄较轻（20至40岁，占57.35%）且已婚（61.76%）。虽然大多数参与者通常完成了医学住院医师培训项目（50.74%），但大多数人从事该职业的时间不到10年（47.06%）。约44.61%的样本每周工作50至120小时，41.18%在工作卡上登记有正式雇佣关系，53.43%每天睡眠不足6小时。WAI的平均值为44，表明工作能力极佳。WAI降低与年龄较大、从事该职业的时间较长、吸烟、久坐不动的生活方式以及应对工作需求的心理资源较差有关。只有1.72%的参与者表示，基于他们目前的健康状况，两年后继续从事该工作不太可能。
尽管医生具有出色的工作能力，但他们的职业特征和生活方式仍需要干预，以防止其职业表现受损。
