[Physician and patient at the same time. Experiences from participants of a health service trial for physicians].
A health service for doctors was made available in two municipalities. 28 doctors participated in a trial lasting two years. The overall evaluation included an interview by telephone, and the participants were asked to give their opinion of the trial. The response was unanimously positive. Most participants felt a clear need for contact, something which was not always apparent to the doctors' doctor. The participants appreciated the psychosocial aspect of the trial most of all. Lowest marks were awarded to the part dealing with the working environment. Few doctors found it difficult to fit into the patient's role. The selection of doctors' doctors, and their tutoring and preparation for this role, are probably the main factors behind the success of the trial. The evaluation clearly supports the creation of a health service for doctors.
