ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To describe gender differences in job satisfaction, mental health and work conditions of Japanese hospital internists <br>METHODS: A self-administered, mailed survey was conducted among hospital internists throughout Japan. The survey included questions such as job satisfaction, time allotted for an ambulatory patient, and work environments. <br>RESULTS: Two hundred thirty-four hospital internists were eligible (59 women). Female internists allotted more time for each patient in an ambulatory care setting than their male colleagues (new patient/consultation: P<0.01, routine follow ups: P=0.046). Female internists worked continuously for as long as their male colleagues when they were on night duty (average: 31.1 hours), but their replies indicated that they were not able to maintain continuous high-quality care for as long as the male internists (-4 hours, P=0.02). <br>CONCLUSIONS: Female internists allotted more time for each ambulatory patient, and their replies showed that they were able to maintain quality care continuously for less time than were the males.
