Norwegian doctors enjoy a high standard of living. A comparison of doctors' work environment and living conditions with those of the general population (Survey of Norwegian physicians' work environment and living conditions 1993 (Nord-Trøndelag Health survey 1986, Survey of work environment 1989, General Household Survey 1991) shows that doing better does not necessarily mean feeling better. In almost all sex and age groups doctors score significantly lower than the rest of the population do on all our quality-of-life indicators. The mismatch may reflect the nature of their work. Although a larger share of doctors than others consider their work interesting and not physically tiresome, they work longer hours, and more them report feeling worn out, and that they have sleeping problems. Fewer of them describe their sociopsychological work environment as good. Possibly, as much effort should be put into improving doctors' jobs as into raising their salaries.
挪威医生享有较高的生活水平。将医生的工作环境和生活条件与普通人群的进行比较（1993年挪威医生工作环境与生活条件调查（1986年北特伦德拉格健康调查、1989年工作环境调查、1991年一般家庭调查））表明，境遇更好并不一定意味着感觉更好。在几乎所有性别和年龄组中，医生在我们所有的生活质量指标上的得分都显著低于其他人群。这种不匹配可能反映了他们工作的性质。虽然与其他人相比，有更大比例的医生认为自己的工作有趣且不累身体，但他们工作时间更长，更多医生表示感到疲惫不堪，并且有睡眠问题。较少医生将他们的社会心理工作环境描述为良好。可能，在改善医生工作方面应投入与提高他们工资同样多的努力。
