OBJECTIVE
To quantify preferences for female providers among obstetric-gynecology patients in a large military teaching hospital in California.
METHODS
A questionnaire regarding patient preferences for female provider was distributed to and collected from 1,544 obstetric-gynecology patients over a two-month period. Responses were tabulated overall and for several demographic subgroups.
RESULTS
Sixty percent of respondents indicated they had no provider gender preference or they preferred a male. Significant ethnic preferences were noted among Asian, Pacific Islander, and Native-American women. Junior officers, wives, and daughters of service members also showed a greater preference for a female physician provider.
CONCLUSION
The majority of obstetric-gynecology patients surveyed had no strong preferences for female providers. In the interest of patient satisfaction, where strong gender preferences exist, attempts to accommodate could be made without overburdening female staff.

目的
量化加利福尼亚州一家大型军事教学医院妇产科患者对女性医疗服务提供者的偏好。
方法
在两个月的时间里，向1544名妇产科患者发放并收集了一份关于患者对女性医疗服务提供者偏好的调查问卷。对总体及几个特定人口亚组的回答进行了列表统计。
结果
60%的受访者表示他们没有医疗服务提供者性别偏好，或者更喜欢男性。在亚裔、太平洋岛民和美国原住民女性中发现了显著的种族偏好。初级军官、军人的妻子和女儿也表现出对女性医生医疗服务提供者更大的偏好。
结论
大多数接受调查的妇产科患者对女性医疗服务提供者没有强烈偏好。为了患者满意度，在存在强烈性别偏好的情况下，可以尝试进行协调，而不会给女性工作人员造成过重负担。
证据级别
