In a climate that many practitioners find increasingly oppressive, data suggesting the most and least satisfying aspects of medical practice are important. In a joint effort, the Dallas County Medical Society, Timberlawn Psychiatric Hospital, and Timberlawn Psychiatric Research Foundation explored levels of work satisfaction for their relationships with marital satisfaction and psychiatric symptoms as reported by physicians and dentists and their spouses. Most physicians and dentists rate various aspects of direct patient care and service to humanity as highly satisfying aspects of professional life. Physicians highly satisfied with their work are more likely to report high satisfaction in their marriages and fewer psychiatric symptoms. Most spouses of physicians report high levels of marital satisfaction, and high agreement exists between the marital satisfaction ratings of physicians and their spouses. Physicians and dentists are quite similar on the wide range of professional and personal variables surveyed.
在许多从业者日益感到压抑的环境中，表明医疗实践中最令人满意和最不满意方面的数据很重要。达拉斯县医学协会、廷伯勒恩精神病医院和廷伯勒恩精神病学研究基金会共同努力，探讨了医生和牙医及其配偶报告的工作满意度水平与婚姻满意度和精神症状之间的关系。大多数医生和牙医将直接的患者护理和对人类的服务的各个方面评为职业生活中非常令人满意的方面。对工作高度满意的医生更有可能报告婚姻高度满意且精神症状较少。大多数医生的配偶报告婚姻满意度很高，医生及其配偶的婚姻满意度评分之间存在高度一致性。在调查的广泛的专业和个人变量方面，医生和牙医非常相似。
