  • While initial positive feelings were lower for psychiatrists' partners, most partners in both groups currently report positive feelings.
  • General practitioners' partners perceived their spouses' profession as more stressful.
  • Partners perceived psychiatrists as more likely to use professional jargon within the family setting, causing unique stress for some families.

    • Conclusions:

    • The majority of partners of psychiatrists and general practitioners have positive feelings about their spouse's profession.
