- W1982506504 abstract "Abstract Health of the health providers is causing some concern all over the world. It has been noticed that doctors are reluctant to seek health care through usual mechanisms and find it difficult to adopt the role of patient. The consequences include self-prescription, working through illness, self-referral, and late presentations with serious problems. Doctors working in the oilfield industry are exposed to high risk of blood-borne pathogens, needle-stick injuries, back injuries, infections, latex allergy, and exposure to various chemicals, noise, and other work-related injuries. Lack of exercise and fitness program on an oil rig may lead to lifestyle diseases like obesity, hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease, and other stress-related disorders. Smoking, abuse of drugs, alcohol misuse on days off, remote location, and isolation are some of the other issues that need consideration. In reality, influences such as conscientious efforts to provide service to patients, loyalty to company, managing proper medical protocols, and poor availability of social contacts may contribute to neglect of self. It has been recognized that ill health among doctors can affect professional judgment, decision, acumen, expertise, virtuosity, and performance. These medics must also keep in mind the well-being of workers with completely different job profiles; a difficult learning curve compared to a standard general practice. Issues can arise as many of the workers aboard oil-rig installations speak foreign languages, causing difficulties in efficiently understanding, diagnosing, and treating their medical problems. There are managerial and company protocols that could improve the health of many medics, but these medics are no more immune from becoming ill than any other worker onboard. A comprehensive medical and psychological assessment before employment, as well as training in recognition and management of a doctor's own health problems is advocated. Introduction Health of the health providers is causing some concern all over the world.1 It has been noticed that doctors are reluctant to seek health care through usual mechanisms and find it difficult to adopt the role of patient.2 The consequences include self-prescription, working through illness, self-referral, and late presentations with serious problems. This inappropriate self-care occurs in a profession that reports high levels of stress3 and psychological distress and comparatively high suicide rates. Extent of distress and illness among doctors has been studied. However, it is difficult to analyze reasons why doctors respond in particular ways to their own illness. Medical men perceive that patients and colleagues link good health in them with their medical competence;as such, they feel compelled to portray a healthy exterior while being aware of their vulnerability. It must be remembered that unhealthy doctors may not be able to deliver and dispense high-quality of health care." @default.
