Reduction of high-risk sexual behavior among heterosexuals undergoing HIV antibody testing
BACKGROUND. We evaluated the effect of HIV antibody testing on sexual behavior and communication with sexual partners about AIDS risk among heterosexual adults at a clinic for sexually transmitted diseases. METHODS. We randomized 186 subjects to receive either AIDS education alone (the control group) or AIDS education, an HIV antibody test, and the test results (the intervention group). These subjects were then followed up 8 weeks later. RESULTS.…
Physician Satisfaction Under the Ontario Health Insurance Plan
To determine the level of professional satisfaction experienced by physicians practicing in Ontario, Canada, a probability sample of 1,028 physicians was surveyed; 69% responded. The majority of Ontario doctors were at least moderately satisfied with each of 16 aspects of their work, and the percentage who were dissatisfied exceeded 15% for only four aspects. Factor analysis suggested the presence of four underlying satisfaction facets: satisfact…
Risk factors associated with participation in the Ontario, Canada doctors' strike
To identify factors associated with participation in the 1986 Ontario, Canada doctors' strike, we surveyed 1,028 physicians; 69 percent responded, of whom 42 percent participated in the strike. Risk factors for participation included income greater than $135,000, being a surgeon or gynecologist, having previously "opted out" of the Ontario Health Insurance Plan, being professionally dissatisfied, being politically conservative, favoring political…
Measuring Physicians?? Humanistic Attitudes, Values, and Behaviors
This paper describes the reliability and validity of 10 easily administered and scored self-report measures of physicians' humanistic attitudes, values, and behaviors. This research also provides evidence that evaluations of physicians' humanistic behavior made by their outpatients, and non-physician staff with whom they worked, and the faculty physicians supervising them on inpatient ward rotations were positively and significantly correlated wi…
Factors Associated With Life Satisfaction Among Practicing Internists
The present study explored the relationship between satisfaction with life in general among 211 practicing internists and characteristics of their work, health, and life styles. Using a forced stepwise multiple regression analysis, 67% of the total variance in life satisfaction was accounted for by study variables. More satisfied physicians were more likely to be older, married, engaged in sexual intercourse more often, argued with or emotionally…
Physician and Patient Satisfaction as Factors Related to the Organization of Internal Medicine Group Practices
The present study compares patient satisfaction scores with job satisfaction scores of the physicians providing their care in 16 general internal medicine teaching hospital group practices. Practice sites with more satisfied patients were also more likely to have more satisfied housestaff and faculty physicians. Additionally, higher satisfaction scores for both physician groups and patients were consistently associated with a greater percentage o…
Career Orientations of Medical and Pediatric Residents
Educators have expressed concern about the declining percentage of graduating residents who choose an academic career. This study identifies characteristics of postgraduate physicians that are associated with intentions to pursue an academic career or a full-time private practice. Data were obtained from 299 residents in pediatrics and internal medicine at five academic medical centers in Southern California, using self-report questionnaires. Pre…
Humor and Other Communication Preferences in Physician-Patient Encounters
In light of recent evidence suggesting the importance of communication in the health care setting, an instrument to measure communication style preferences was developed. This reliable and content-valid paper-and-pencil measure consisted of six scenarios depicting physician-patient interactions, each followed by four potential verbal responses from the physician. The four responses, representing four communications styles--humor, hostility, reass…
Screening of Depression in Relationship to Subsequent Patient and Physician Behavior
When internal medicine clinic patients were prescreened for depression and this information was fed back to their physicians, significant effects could be noted on the medical records. On the initial visit, prescreening and previsit feedback about depression increased its notation in the medical record by three times, and among depressed patients, resulted in significantly fewer laboratory tests being orders (X = 2.85 vs. 8.12 for depressed patie…
Patient Suffering and Patient Satisfaction Among the Chronically Ill
In a patient population with serious, debilitating chronic disease, the present study tested the hypothesis that a significant amount of variance in patient satisfaction ratings of provider behavior would be explained by patients' current assessment of their health and their social circumstances. More favorable patient ratings of the art, technical quality and efficacy of their care givers were found to be significantly associated with more posit…

Factors Associated with Relief from Chest Pain Following Emergency- Care
A preliminary study was conducted to explore a range of factors that may be associated with relief from chest pain. Nonhospitalized ambulatory patients (N = 150) were interviewed in their homes shortly after seeking care at one of two hospital emergency rooms. Bivariate and multivariate analyses identified four factors positively correlated with symptom relief: whether someone accompanied the patient to the emergency room; whether the patient fea…
Factors Related to a Communication Style Among Medical House Staff
This study reports on some factors related to scores on a recently developed pencil-and paper measure of communication style among physicians in training. High scores on this measure (the Facilitating Response Index) indicate a greater preference by the responded to explore or clarify the thoughts or feelings of the patient in a nondirective, open-ended fashion. Higher scores were attained by physicians who had been exposed to interpersonal skill…
An evaluation of traditional and alternative mental health facilities
Traditional mental health facilities were compared with alternative mental health facilities on their response to a crisis situation. Over one-third of the total sample of facilities (n = 50) did not respond with any help. Alternative facilities gave more direct counseling than did traditional facilities, indicating the particular suitability of alternative facilities for crisis intervention.
Attitudes toward Self-Care among Practicing Physicians
Self-care, although growing as a concept and a movement among providers and consumers, has not been studied systematically in any dimension. Because of the potential role of physicians in establishing the credibility and acceptability of self-care interventions and practices, an exploratory investigation was launched to develop an attitude instrument, to describe the degree to which practicing physicians in a community favor self-care, and to exp…

Physician Characteristics and Attitudes Toward Legitimate Use of Psychotherapeutic Drugs
The Use of Psychotherapeutic Drugs by Middle-Aged Women
In medical sociology, there is a well-documented concept called which states that symptoms of illness are differentially perceived, evaluated, and acted upon by different kinds of people in different social situations (Mechanic, 1962). A number of measures of illness behavior such as responses to pain, recognition of symptoms, attitudes toward illness, utilization of health facilities, and compliance with medical advice have been demonstrated to …

Social Characteristics and Social Interaction in the Utilization of a Psychiatric Outpatient Clinic
The present study explores socio-cultural and social-psychological factors associated with the voluntary utilization of a psychiatric outpatient clinic among students on a large university campus. Students who sought psychiatric care as compared to those who did not were (1) more likely to come from groups who were less integrated into traditional social institutions in terms of role expectations, (2) more likely to belong to or identify with oth…
Verbal Attitudes and Overt Behavior
The present study in attempting to measure the relationship between racial attitudes and overt behavior asked Ss to pose for a photograph with a Negro of the opposite sex. Discrepancies between verbal attitudes and subsequent overt behavior involving those attitudes was found in 59 percent of the cases. The relationship between attitude (prejudice) and behavior (discrimination) is seen to be a function of the level of social involvement with the …
