Abstract

A survey was conducted by sending questionnaires to 466 doctors working at nine hospitals affiliated with the Aichi Prefectural Federation of Agricultural Cooperatives for Health and Welfare (Kohseiren).<BR>The survey found that the length of service was under 5 years in 60% of the respondents and that many of them identified themselves strongly with the department of the teaching hospital where they were trained.<BR>They were found to be little intersted in the present situation of the agricultural cooperatives and Japanese agriculture. However, they said they were satisfied with the present working conditions, because they could show their skills. Most approved of organ transplants after brain death but disapproved of human cloning. They showed a positive attitude toward the allowing of each patient to give access to his or her clinical records and standardization of medical treatment. Some 67% of the doctors admitted they had made medical mistakes and keenly realized the necessity of risk management.<BR>While feeling uneasy about the recent upsurge of lawsuits brought by patients about medical treatment, they said they are endeavoring to provide safe and high quality medical service. Their recent concerns were rearrangement of dispensaries based on the subspecialty, reinforcement of postgraduate courses in medical schools and the postgraduate training system which will be a legal obligation from 2005. They suported the reform plans for the national medical service for aged patients and recognized the necessity of joining hands with local agricultural cooperatives in providing nursing care services. They said they wish to continue their career as a physican at the Kohseiren hospital.
