Having highly educated spouses may influence physicians' choice of practice location.
We analyzed a representative physician sample in the 2020 Japan Population Census.
Regression analyses adjusting for physicians' characteristics showed that physicians married to highly educated (with a graduate degree) spouses were less likely to practice in low physician supply areas (LPSAs) than other married physicians (adjusted, 7.8% vs. 9.1%; adjusted odds ratio, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.72-0.98).
Having highly educated spouses was associated with a lower likelihood of practicing in LPSAs. Qualitative research is needed to explore how spousal academic attainment influences physicians' practice location choices.
拥有高学历的配偶可能会影响医生对执业地点的选择。
我们分析了2020年日本人口普查中的一个具有代表性的医生样本。
对医生特征进行调整后的回归分析表明,与配偶具有高学历(研究生学位)的医生相比,其他已婚医生在医生供应不足地区(LPSA)执业的可能性更小(调整后分别为7.8%和9.1%;调整后的优势比为0.84;95%置信区间为0.72 - 0.98)。
配偶具有高学历与在医生供应不足地区执业的可能性较低有关。需要进行定性研究以探讨配偶的学术成就如何影响医生对执业地点的选择。
