Because of the increasing number of foreign doctors seeking employment in Norwegian hospitals, a survey was undertaken to estimate their numbers, and to study how they and their chief physicians assess their working situation, and whether it could possibly be improved. 15% of the hospital physicians were foreign, about half of these had other language backgrounds than Swedish or Danish. 55% of the departments employed foreign doctors. The median time in Norway for these doctors was 33 months. Doctors from outside Scandinavia were less satisfied with their working situation than were doctors with a Swedish or Danish background, and this was also reflected in the views of the chief physicians. The language difficulties experienced by the foreign doctors were considered to be greater by their chief physicians than by the foreign doctors themselves. Emphasis should be placed on language and cultural training, building supporting networks, and improving the qualifications of Norwegian physicians to enable them to work in cross-cultural environments.
由于寻求在挪威医院工作的外国医生数量不断增加，因此开展了一项调查，以估算他们的人数，研究他们及其主任医师如何评估其工作状况，以及工作状况是否有可能得到改善。医院医生中有15%是外国人，其中约一半人的语言背景不是瑞典语或丹麦语。55%的科室聘用了外国医生。这些医生在挪威的工作时间中位数为33个月。来自斯堪的纳维亚以外地区的医生对其工作状况的满意度低于具有瑞典或丹麦背景的医生，主任医师的看法也反映了这一点。主任医师认为外国医生所经历的语言困难比外国医生自己认为的更大。应重视语言和文化培训、建立支持网络以及提高挪威医生的资质，以使他们能够在跨文化环境中工作。
