摘要：

In British hospital medicine work commitments have traditionally been strong. However, the heavy investment of time and energy in work by men is incompatible with the family values of modern Western societies which stress the importance of the active participation of the husband-father in family life. This article reports on a study that investigated the stresses consequent on the incompatibility of the contemporary family ethic with traditional work commitments by comparing hospital medicine with general dental practice. It was found that wives feel over-burdened by their almost single-handed responsibility for child-rearing and experienced intense loneliness. Three types of strategies for the management of work-family tensions were identified. © 1979.
