We address the questions, How do physicians adjust to and enjoy their retirement? What factors contribute to the well-being of retired physicians? A 60-item questionnaire mailed to 238 retired physicians in Los Angeles County with a 41.6% response rate assessed health, standard of living, relationships, activities, emotional difficulties, and general enjoyment. Health often improved after retirement, as did relationships with spouses and children. Standard of living was comfortable or better for most. Retired physicians engage in a wide range of interests and activities. Emotional difficulties are minimal and considerably reduced after retirement. Most physicians enjoy the freedom and activities of retirement and are happy. Fears of boredom and deterioration are unfounded.
医生如何适应并享受退休生活?哪些因素有助于退休医生的幸福安康?我们向洛杉矶县的238名退休医生邮寄了一份包含60个条目的问卷,回收率为41.6%,该问卷评估了健康状况、生活水平、人际关系、活动情况、情绪困扰以及总体满意度。退休后,健康状况常常有所改善,与配偶和子女的关系也是如此。大多数人的生活水平舒适或更好。退休医生有着广泛的兴趣爱好和活动。情绪困扰极少,退休后也大幅减少。大多数医生享受退休后的自由和活动,生活幸福。对无聊和健康恶化的担忧毫无根据。
