I. Introduction. In the study of occupational health, or that contingent workers is a very useful assessment of the social conditions of their lives, and use their free time, because these, in varying degrees, can affect the individual's attitude toward work and efficiency. It is known that being in the right conditions at home and well rested employee ceteris paribus more productive work than living in poor conditions and has not received needed rest.

II. Formulation of the problem. At present a large spread was studying social issues of population groups including employees of different specialties, according to the questionnaire.

We conducted a questionnaire survey of physicians and nurses in one of the clinics in Almaty, in order to determine the social factors that influence the health status of the studied contingent. Number of respondents to this question is expressed as a percentage of respondents. These values were obtained in a survey of doctors and nurses were compared with values of φ Fisher, and on that basis make judgments about materiality of the differences between these variables.

III. Results. Table 1 presents data that reflect some of the issues relating to health care workers.

Analysis of the data table shows that the bulk of health care workers has a family. Significant difference between the respective indices were found.

The family physicians on average 1.8 children, ie, not achieved a simple reproduction. In the family of medium-sized health-care workers an average of 2 children, these families provide a simple reproduction of the population. Living conditions of the vast number of health workers - whether good or satisfactory. 35-36% of the respondents live in their own homes. Differences in quality of living conditions between the doctors and staff there.

Most of the surveyed people eat regularly and continuously. Nevertheless, irregular eating more doctors than nurses, although a significant difference and is not proved. The bulk of the medical staff sleeps 6-8 hours a day. Difference in the number of hours of sleep between doctors and health workers not identified.

The bulk of the medical staff is working vacation of 42 days.

Most health workers are vacation homes. Far fewer people travel outside the city or live in the country. Between the respective figures of doctors and nurses there is no significant difference.

Table 2 presents data characterizing certain aspects of leisure-time medical workers.

Doctors and nurses are engaged in physical culture and sports in terms of statistics to the same extent, but the number involved in sports could be higher. Doctors spend 3-4 hours watching television are more likely than nurses.

Doctors often mean health workers are engaged in sewing, knitting, cooking. In other terms a significant difference between doctors and health workers do not.

Number of people who have bad habits, is relatively small. Despite the fact that statistically significant differences between rates for doctors and nurses, given in Tables 1 and 2, there are only 2 times, differences in performance in the form of trends, we believe, should not be neglected. Considering available in Tables 1 and 2 data, we can see that the representatives of unmarried nurses more than the unmarried and single physicians (among nurses men do not). Doctors are more likely than average health care providers, have a family one child, while the average health care providers often doctors have three children. Perhaps here we have observed almost everywhere the tendency to reduce the number of children in a family with more educated parents.

Living conditions of nurses assesses more than doctors, as well, and doctors are more likely than average staff as satisfactory. This probably reflects the lesser demands of the housing conditions of the auxiliary medical personnel. Doctors are more likely than nurses to indicate irregular meals, which can be attributed fewer opportunities for doctors to respect the power due to high load-time. Number of hours of sleep at night with doctors and health professionals alike.

Reading books, as follows from the above data, the physicians involved often mean health care workers. On the other hand, nurses are more likely involved in sewing, knitting, cooking, ie, more attention to service families.

The number of smokers is relatively small and virtually the same for doctors and health workers.

Sport takes a few more doctors than the average health-care workers.

IV. Conclusions. In general, evaluating the work presented in this material, we can assume that the work of doctors leaves less free time, which can be given to the family than the work of nurses.
