TY - JOUR AU - Rø, Karin E. Isaksson AU - Gude, Tore AU - Aasland, Olaf G. PY - 2007 DA - 2007/03/16 TI - Does a self-referral counselling program reach doctors in need of help? A comparison with the general Norwegian doctor workforce JO - BMC Public Health SP - 36 VL - 7 IS - 1 AB - Doctors have a relatively high degree of emotional distress, but seek help to a lesser degree and at a later stage than other academic groups. This can be deleterious for themselves and for their patients. Prevention programs have therefore been developed but it is unclear to what extent they reach doctors in need of help. This study describes doctors who participated in a self-referrral, easily accessible, stress relieving, counselling program in Norway, and compares them with a nationwide sample of Norwegian doctors.
