[Health personnel and teachers admitted to psychiatric institutions].

During the period 1985-89, 124 physicians were hospitalized in Norwegian psychiatric institutions. The physicians were compared with 91 nurses, 88 enrolled nurses and 110 teachers from three counties who were hospitalized during the same period. The overall rate of admission to psychiatric institutions seemed to be highest for the enrolled nurses and lowest for the teachers. There were few diagnostic differences between the groups. Relatively more of the female teachers were recruited from the middle age group (41-55 years), while the nurses and the enrolled nurses belonged most often to the youngest group (< or = 40 years). The results are discussed with regard to circumstances in the working situation which could possibly explain the differences between the professions as regards the number of admissions.

[Psychiatric disorders among nurses admitted to a psychiatric clinic].

During 1985-89, 82 female and 13 male nurses were hospitalized in a psychiatric clinic, Modum Bads Nervesanatorium. The frequency of personality disorders and of drug and alcohol abuse, seems to be higher among male than among female nurses. The female nurses have been compared with a sample of assistant nurses and teachers of the same sex. There were no significant differences between the three groups as regards various demographical and clinical factors.

[A shipwreck and organization of the psychosocial support work].

During recent years attention has been drawn to the importance of psychosocial support to victims of accidents and disasters. Post-traumatic stress disorder seems to be more frequent than earlier believed, and early psychosocial assistance is thought to reduce the psychological effects of the traumatic experience. The authors describe the psychosocial work, as it was organized at Haukeland Hospital, after a shipwreck. Experiences with mobile medical teams with stress competence are also discussed.

The average age of the physicians was 46, and they had been practising for an average of 17 years at the time of hospitalization. 60% of them worked outside institutions. About 1/3 of them were specialists.

[Physicians hospitalized in psychiatric institutions in Norway].

In the period 1985-89, 124 physicians were hospitalized in Norwegian psychiatric institutions. 20-30 physicians are hospitalized every year. The overall rate of admission to psychiatric institutions seems to be relatively higher among other groups of the adult population than among physicians. The physicians suffer from schizophrenia less frequently than others do, and suffer more frequently from affective and other psychoses. Drug abuse is also a typical disorder among hospitalized physicians. 1/4 of the physicians were hospitalized in Modum Bads Nerve Sanatorium, and the author compares the material from this institution with that from the other 33 psychiatric institutions in Norway.

The prognosis of psychiatric treatment in military service.

The author discusses the outcome of psychiatric treament in the Military. He served as a military psychiatrist in Norway for one year. During this time he personally examined and treated 215 soldiers with psychiatric disorders. The diagnostic composition of the patient group and the treatment given are described. The patient material was again examined at the end of the military service period, when one-third of the patients had been found unfit for service. The remainder were still fit for service. The patients did not differ from soldiers in general from a disciplinary point of view. However, they did not achieve as good grades in personal conduct and military efficiency as the other soldiers. The patient's clinical picture at the follow-up examination had improved when compared to the initial psychiatric examination. The author concludes that psychiatric treatment in the Military is both possible and desirable.

Civil background variables significant to the development of psychiatric disorders during military service.

The author served as a military psychiatrist for one year. In this article, he presents material from a personally conducted examination of soldiers with psychiatric disorders. He has also collected material on two control groups of soldiers. He has also processed patient material collected by other military psychiatrists. Both patient groups are compared with the two control groups concerning various civilian background factors. The study shows that the patients differ from the controls regarding a number of negative factors in their civilian background. These factors can be seen as predisposing to the development of psychiatric disorders while in the Military. The author concludes that these factors ought to be identified at the conscription examination, which is a present in adequate from a psychiatric viewpoint. An effort should be made at conscription to construct a profile of the individual's adaptability. The possibility of the development of a psychiatric disorder could thus be better evaluated.
