Physician burnout: recommendations for HMO managers.

If HMOs are to remain viable, they will have to control and eliminate conditions that contribute to the burnout of their physicians. Based on the belief that interventions should be based on a thorough understanding of how an HMO affects burnout, physicians in a large, prepaid group practice were asked to respond to objective and open-ended questions about their background and career, work conditions, professional autonomy, patient care, and stress and well-being. Findings about burnout prevalence, factors related to burnout, and burnout outcomes are presented and used as a starting point for a discussion of possible interventions.

Marital interaction and the health and well-being of spouses.

This study examines the extent to which the various dimensions of marital interaction are associated with differences in health status of spouses measured by the use of medical services and self-reported health and well-being. Dimensions of marital interaction and health and well-being measures with most covariation are identified and the relative effect of the quality of marital interaction on the health and well-being of husbands and wives are assessed. The study population includes 1004 married couples. Medical record and survey data for each respondent are linked for the analysis. The findings do support the hypothesis that the quality of marital interaction is related to the health of marital partners.
