The number of females entering and graduating from medical school is currently increasing and, as a result, the problems they face if they wish to work as doctors and have a family are becoming more apparent.
A questionnaire study of 105 female GPs and 98 female hospital doctors was carried out in Birmingham, UK, to determine doctors' experiences and views of child-bearing whilst working as a doctor.
Of the GP responders, 81% had children compared with 49% of hospital doctors. GPs were shown to work fewer hours than hospital doctors. Problems were identified relating to the everyday difficulties faced whilst working and raising a family.
The results highlight the need to address the difficulties faced by females pursuing this demanding career.
目前,进入医学院并从医学院毕业的女性人数正在增加,因此,如果她们想成为医生并组建家庭,所面临的问题日益凸显。
在英国伯明翰对105名女性全科医生和98名女性医院医生进行了问卷调查,以确定医生在从业期间生育的经历和看法。
在回复问卷的全科医生中,81%育有子女,而医院医生中这一比例为49%。结果显示,全科医生的工作时长比医院医生少。研究发现了她们在工作和抚养家庭过程中面临的日常困难。
研究结果凸显了解决女性从事这一高要求职业所面临困难的必要性。
