Results Altogether 33% displayed 22% could exhibit behaviour. By MANOVA significant differences between low, medium high N groups was revealed hostility (p<.01), (p=.001), life (p<.05). Regression analyses explained both by N-scale (p=.000) ‘being bullied during training’(p=.009) but negatively ‘presence life’(p=.004). Surgeons’ followed ‘seeing others training ‘working extra days beyond schedule’ (p=.007). Presence mostly ‘(eu)stress’ (p= .000) ‘doing work .016) .003). Conclusion Surgeons a challenging situation.
