Abstract

What about Physicians' health? How is it studied? What are the issues addressed by the international literature? From a textual analysis of the English-language literature on the issue of physicians' health, it is possible to identify three thematic clusters: " 1. When the doctor becomes sick, " "2. Epidemiology of physicians' health "and" 3.

METHODological terms and vocabulary " Cluster 1 is the most important and counts three sub-clusters: " La. Impact on patients " (studies of the impact of the physicians' problems on the patients' symptoms), " Lb. Physicians Health Programs "(corresponding to the programs proposed to US physicians who suffer from an addiction) and " I.e. The physicians' suffering ". The cluster 2 is homogeneous and the Cluster 3 has a sub-cluster " The physicians' health " (studies on physicians' lifestyle). This analysis points to a lack of literature, not taking into account the psychology of the doctor facing sickness and death. Yet, this is a both rich and complex area.
