  • Title: A study of self-care among Irish doctors.
    Author: Clarke J, O'Sullivan Y, Maguire N.
    Journal: Ir Med J; 1998; 91(5):175-6. PubMed ID: 9973754.
    Abstract:
    Little is known about the self care employed by Irish doctors, though studies in other countries suggest this is likely to be less than ideal. In this study 76 doctors; general practitioner trainees, general practitioners and hospital consultants, completed a questionnaire on their self management of illness. High levels of self-prescribing and referral were discovered. The implications for the health of doctors in Ireland and the need for an occupational health service for doctors are discussed.
